Chibugan Lechon At Ethan's Restaurant offers a down-to-earth spot for Filipino comfort food in Carson’s bustling South Figueroa corridor. This full-service restaurant leans into hearty, traditional dishes where crispy textures and rich flavors take center stage. The atmosphere matches the food style: casual and spacious, recently expanded with updated decor that feels welcoming without fuss.

If you’re after Filipino classics, the menu here highlights standouts like Crispy Pata and Fried Pampano, both fun to share and full of contrasting textures — crispy skin and tender meat. Lechon draws loyal fans, though it’s wise to come early as this signature roast often runs out before mid-afternoon. Portion sizes tend to be generous, making this a good pick for groups or family-style meals.

The place hums with local diners who appreciate genuine Filipino flavors, whether for a casual lunch or catered events — many visitors note the friendly, attentive service and a relaxed vibe that lets you linger over food. Weekday lunches can fill up, especially when the lechon is freshly available, so earlier visits offer the best chance to sample their sought-after roasts.

Families, longtime locals, and anyone craving sizable servings of Filipino classics will find Chibugan Lechon At Ethan’s a solid spot for a laid-back meal without the pretense. It fits comfortably into Carson's diverse food landscape as a dependable choice for authentic, no-frills Filipino dining.

Crispy Pata was good but had dry spots. Came for Lechon but they ran out before 2pm. Will return earlier in day for lechon and maybe some lumpia.

So crispy! Got the lechon plate for lunch. The outer crisp with buttery fat and juicy meat was perfect. Barley needed the sauce but was a great compliment to meat. Great portions and friendly staff. Definitely a return visit for me.
