This lunch in Your Local is 3 weeks in the making since Ig Plummer S bailed out on me twice. � Finally, we were able to push through today, despite the typhoon warnings. I called to reserve a table, but they only accept reservations for dinner. Was told to just arrive early since their lunch is from 11:00-2:00 PM. The place is really low-key especially from the road, you wouldn't even think that there's a restaurant there unless you'll look closely.
On to the lunch:
| Pomelo Salad �����
Shrimp, red onion, winged beans, pickled quail eggs, seasonal green, nim jim, Thai coconut ice cream. (285php)
� This stater didn't disappoint! The sweet pomelo was perfect with the shrimp and quail eggs, and the coconut ice cream added sweetness to the salad which is realky nice. Fresh ingredients!
| Torched Salmon Donburi �����
Torched Norwegian salmon (cooked medium), mentaiko, oboro, ebiko, and salmon skin on roast corn and shitaki black rice. (540php)
� This is the star of the lunch, no joke! No wonder everyone is raving about this this because it's really yummy! Your tummy will be really happy with this and so as your tastebuds. The salmon works well with the black rice. This dish brings happiness!
| Chorizo Sandwich �����
1/3 pound burnt onion and chorizo patty, jalapeño cream cheese, fried egg, seasonal greens on a squid ink bun with parmesan fries and truffled ketchup. (490php)
� This burger is not your usual when it comes to taste. The chorizo was so flavorful, but not overpowering. It's not too spicy which I like. Fries were cooked perfectly. Yum!
| Sea Salt Lemonade � ����
Fresh homemade lemonade, sea salt, and Sprite (180php)
� Super loved this drink, the saltiness and sourness was just soo good!
| Strawberry Lemonade �����
Strawberry puree, homemade lemonade, and Sprite (190php)
� I am assuming Ig Plummer S loved this too!
⭐️ The staff who assisted us was really nice and she's knowledgeable with their food. We wanted to order the Laksa pasta too, but she said it's gonna be too much for just the two of us.
⭐️ Our food was served in a timely manner despite the fact that it's a busy time and the place is 85% packed.
Dear, Your Local,
Thank you for the high-quality food! Until then! One happy tummy here! �����

It is hard to describe a place like this..... I might have to go back a couple (dozen) more times to find more words. :) Great ambiance, unique dishes with complex flavor, artful plating and presentation, and really reasonable price for the amount of food and the experience you get here. I really enjoyed my first visit! Though the seats overlooking the kitchen are a bit warm (because it's right by the kitchen,) it was really quite interesting to watch the team of chefs work. Thanks for an awesome dinner! I'll be back soon.
This is a good place. It feels safe dining here even in the midst of pandemic. Everything is safely prepared, they will give mini paperbags as mask holder, the utensils were plastic-covered. You will be required to sanitize as well before entering.
We ordered the chicken, beef rendang and salmon. All were tasty and servings were enough for our appetite.
Service was great, the waitress helped us navigate thru the menu and even adjusted the menu on their app. Using zomato pro made everything contactless and easy.
The food was great. I highly recommend the Salmon Donburi bowl, it's a bit pricey but well worth it. We got the cereal ice cream to finish things off and it was like having a tiny piece of heaven in our mouth. Chef Denny did a great job with the place and I personally look forward to coming back here to try the rest of their dishes.
My favorite place in Legazpi Village! I would drive to Makati just to get my Your Local fix. Place is packed during dinner - be sure to reserve/call ahead of time to secure your dining spot. Parking is also hard. But the food and ambience makes up for this. My favorite dish would have to be the chorizo burger paired with the truffled fries. Heaven on earth. Staff is also attentive too. 10/10 one of my favorite restaurants in the Metro.
Best Tried with Zomato Gold. The drinks are a little pricey but necessary with the strong spice in many specialty dishes.
Love at first bite! We ordered one of their best selling starters Mock Mentaiko Fries which has a “secret sauce” that tasted so good. It has a Japanese vibes to it as the sauce tasted like it’s a Kewpie based sauce which I definitely love. We also got their torched salmon donburi which is a norweigan salmon on black rice. This is also a flavor of Japan and it tasted really good!! Serving size is fair enough for the price. And the ambiance of the place is definitely worth visiting. Would love to try their variety of wines soon. 💙
Availed of their 2+2 on zomato gold. Pleasantly surprised when the waiter arrived with my drink and a coaster with my name on it. Ordered the whiskey sour, was on the pricier side and tasted strongly of whiskey.
Chili crab buns - were ok but not really a fan of the filling, liked the buns though.
Semi fried eggplant - didn't look very appealing but my favorite among all the things we ordered.
Torched salmon donburi - the typical Your Local order. Not as great as I remember it to be, but still good naman.
No explanations needed, just try the Torched Salmon Donburi and you won’t regret it. I also recommend the Mock Mentaiko Fries, covered in a rich secret sauce, and their Laksa Fettuccine, which might be too spicy for some but just perfect for my liking. I’m not a huge fan of their Tofu Steak though, but I would be down to eat just the shiitake black rice and sunny side up egg that came with it.
Great food, great ambiance (if you like dimly lit places). Pretty pricey but you get what you pay for, right? 10/10 would recommend everything on the menu.

Torched salmon donburi is my go to and favorite dish here. I really love their food and their cocktails. And the ambience. Also, it is walkable to my condo so when I craved for the torched salmon I really come here. Though recently, I was disappointed because one of their attendant forgot our order and we were waiting for more than 40 minutes and we did a follow up and another attendant was “did you order?” Then We figured out that the one who got our order forgot and just came from outside having a phone call. This really turned me off that is why I never came back after that incident and never told my friends about this place already wherein I really use to brag this place before. Though, we were given a free dessert, it does not compensate with the service I got here. Maybe I would come back again and give it another try, i just hope i don’t see those attendants again because it really destroys a restaurant’s prestige.

The first time I was here years ago, I ordered the Torched Salmon Donburi. I liked it, but it didn't make me want to come back for more. So when my friend invited me for dinner here (because of the 2+2 on drinks deal) a few nights ago, I was a bit hesitant to say yes. But, I'm glad I did.
We ordered the Semi-fried Eggplant, Chili Crab Buns and Steak Fried Rice. All were really good. The eggplant was cooked just right -- not too soggy nor undercooked. The steak that we wanted cooked medium, but came out medium rare, was still great. However, it was the Chili Crab Buns which was the clear favorite. The buns are incredibly tasty and toasted right -- crunchy on top, soft on the inside. The Chili Crabs are not so spicy (actually leaning towards not spicy), but other than that, I loved it (also because I love crabs). Of course, we did not pass up on the 2+2 on drinks so we got a Whiskey Sour and a Passion fruit cocktail. The bartender didn't skimp on the alcohol and the mixes were yummy. I liked the Passion fruit more only because I like that fruit, but the whiskey sour wasn't bad at all.
Now can't wait to come back for more.
