Basketball, beachball, playground balls, softball... You name it, someone likes it. Except maybe blue balls...
Meatballs have long been associated with Swedish assemble-it-yourself furniture, can Club Meatballs overthrow the monopoly?
You can "pimp your balls" - exactly the name of the section on the menu - by choosing one of the five types of protein (including the vegetarian chickpea), sauces and sides offered. The iberico pork meatballs were quite delish and um packed a sizeable mouthful. I preferred these to the salmon balls which sounded special but turned out to be a little dry and bland.
We also wanted the pulled pork sliders but what came looked totally different. At first the server insisted they were the pork sliders we wanted, but further inquiry after the meal revealed that those were beef sliders -oops! 不知者无罪 🙏🏻 The management did make amends and waived off the item charges so all is forgiven. Did wish we had the pulled pork though, the beef sliders were 'meh'.
While we didn't exactly have a ball... of a time, the restaurant is still quite a cozy place to unwind over food and drink (strong cocktails!) with friends. The signature dish is worth the try (wagyu seems to be popular) as well as the other dishes like their bruschetta. At least I know where to head to for my next meatball cravings if any (a lot more accessible than IKEA).
A side note: if you manage to read this through or even see the picture without sniggering, you must be younger than 12? For the rest of you, I recommend googling "Schweddy Balls SNL". You're welcome.
