I had the opportunity to order the Macadamia Ice Cream on their homemade gluten free waffle cone. The ice cream was absolutely delicious and had a great macadamia natural flavor. The texture of the ice cream was very smooth and silky. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/na-pali-frozen-organics-san-diego?select=7NkJCREb3w9L4SI2hxPBBA#RgSQWFCdjy4qijCH9pa1KQ) I really enjoyed the whole pieces of macadamia nuts embedded in the ice cream. They were quite tasty and crunchy. The glutton free waffle cone was equally as good. It was crunchy and held up well to the ice cream (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/na-pali-frozen-organics-san-diego?select=7NkJCREb3w9L4SI2hxPBBA#ND4Ucbvqus7U0_5l4-IY0w). It had a mild flavor which went very well with the ice cream. The young lady who owns the place is very nice and works very hard and diligently. They also offer shaved ice with a variety of flavors. You can also find them at other Farmer's markets, so please check their website for which ones.

A normal meal. A casual San Diego ramen situation. Incorrect. What actually happened was that my child experienced a culinary event so powerful it rearranged her internal belief system. She took one bite and immediately declared it her "favorite meal ever" and "the best sushi on earth," which is impressive because those are two separate categories of food, but honestly I respect the conviction. At that moment, she became a tiny ramen prophet. A noodle evangelist. A sushi sommelier of chaos. I was no longer her father. I was merely the adult with a wallet and transportation. The ramen was fantastic. The sushi was fresh. The whole place had that magical "we actually care about what we are doing" energy, which is increasingly rare in a world held together by parking apps and spiritual fatigue. Then, as if the first visit had not already altered the timeline, my daughter made me go back the next day. Not requested. Not suggested. Made. There was no negotiation. She had tasted the mountain and demanded we return to the temple. So we did. And it was still excellent. BESHOCK is now officially part of our family lore. Somewhere between "remember that time we saw the ocean" and "remember when your daughter discovered ramen and briefly became a food critic possessed by a joyful sea dragon." Highly recommend. Bring your children only if you are emotionally prepared for them to ask to come back immediately.

We used to come visit here when we come to San Diego. On this summer day - the restaurant doesn't bave any AC on so it made it a bit uncomfortable to enjoy our desert when it is a bit cooler to sit outside. The other thing that got to me was that the men's restroom was out of service so they did not announce it or anything but the women's bathroom was to be used by both genders but it was crowded so a bit uncomfortable. Service wise we got our deserts and the deserts are still very delicious. We were a larger party and they were able to accommodate and get all of our orders correctly. Noise level was normal and gave us time to sit down and relax our feet. Over all - food was good but things were a bit worn down from a building perspective

I told the cashier that she skipped me and she apologized and continued to help the lady. Being ignored shapes my entire ordering experience. I was a few seconds away from asking for a refund because they almost forgot about my empanadas, their shaved ice were not shaved, the strawberries in the shaved ice were disgusting, I was ignored and their customer service definitely need improvement. Where is Gordon Ramsey when I need him?! He could really help point out all the failures of this business establishment and revamp it. Food: Mediocre. We ordered 2 apple Empanadas and 2 shaved ice, one bubble gum flavor and one strawberry. Yelpers, don't be fooled, the ice was not shaved. They were crushed ice and the smallest size cost $7.00. Their so-called 'shaved' crushed ice had big pieces and requires a lot of chomping. The strawberry crushed ice came with soggy canned-strawberries, not fresh. Even my 20-month old baby said, 'Ewww that's yucky!' We took a couple of bites and threw it in the trash. We originally asked for two chicken empanadas but they ran out so our only other choice was apple empanadas so we ordered two of them. The empanadas were soggy and took almost 10minutes to make.

They only had a table for 5 but we ended up having 6 people in our party. They were so kind to be able to accommodate the additional person! They had personalized menus that greeted my party and it wished my friends a happy birthday!! They actually got to take the menus home! This was really a nice touch, I appreciated the details. We family-styled everything which is honestly the way to go so everybody can try a little of everything! It was majority of our party's first time dining there. We started off with some drinks, I got the Non-alcoholic Guava Mocktail and I got to try what was the equivalent to an espresso martini too. Definitely liked the guava drink better because it tasted like guava nectar juice (kind of like Kerns or Jumex). The Expresso Martini had fresh mint in it and it tasted earthy which wasn't my cup of tea. For food we started off with the Heirloom Tomato Salad which was DELICIOUS!! I don't know what they put in the Vietnamese Green Goddess (probably fish sauce since all the dishes basically had this) but it was magnificent and one of my favorite dishes of the night. Then the Scallops and the Black Cod came out. The Scallops came in a set of 3 and we cut them in half so we could all have a taste. The sauce on this was DIVINE!!! It was citrusy but still really flavorful bursting with umami. I'm literally starting to drool reminiscing about it xD We wanted to keep it to use on other dishes because it was so good. The Black Cod was also delicious. It had fried skin attached and a sesame soy glaze. Next up came the Beef Tartare and the Wagyu Steak. The Beef Tartare was probably the least flavorful out of everything we ordered, but it was still well seasoned. My friend said it was really spicy but it might have just been her bite because I didn't think it was spicy at all. I like that the give you the option of leafy greens or shrimp chips to eat it with. The Wagyu though, was an all-star dish. It was the crowd favorite for sure, we all enjoyed not only the steak but the picked baby eggplants that come with it, and the sauce was phenomenal!! Lastly came the Dry Aged Duck which is what they're known for. It was definitely the biggest fish out of all. You were able to eat the duck with two different sauces, one they called a "Fish Sauce Chimichurri" and "Vietnamese XO sauce" which is more so satay. My friends liked the XO sauce but I liked the Chimichurri better. They had actually forgotten about the side of Buttered Rice but I was told it was incredibly flavorful on its own so we still asked for it. It had more than just butter in it, there was dried shrimp and sesame seeds, and it was made with coconut milk or something because it had a sweet but savory taste to it. I saved some of my duck and Wagyu to eat with it which was actually pretty good. Overall I liked that they brought out the dishes from lightest to heaviest and especially after they brought out out 2 sides of Buttered Rice we were all satisfied and full. It was the perfect amount of food. Honestly EVERY dish was different but amazingly dank and I think it's the fish sauce in everything. They were also sweet and kept the cake we brought in the fridge, placed the candles on it for us, and even after we sang they cut the cake for us!! 10/10 would recommend coming here for not only the food but the impeccable service!! Since we had a larger party there's an automatic 20% gratuity already added to the bill, which came out to be $555! (Look at that angel number!)
