Your Local - Niles

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! xoxo, Annechile

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.

They accommodate us even though they are fully booked. I love the torched salmon donburi the serving is perfect. I will surely come back. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great place, good food very accommodating staff! Have told my friends about it and will definitely come back!

Torched salmon over black rice is a must! Great ambience, nice and friendly crew. I love the open kitchen concept. Price is reasonable, you really get your money’s worth!
