Ikea Restaurant SW Las Vegas: I always said good things about this place. Ambiance, food & price are awesome. It was the last time I went and ate the prepped smoke salmon with salad from their glass cabby I have been sick like a dog. If we are going to leave prepared food in the cabbies with lines and lines of people chances are several ppl touch those plates while deciding what to eat. They pull it look at it & at times decide to not eat it. Now sick ppl with coughs flus even Covid will cough on the food or even sneeze on it. Or touch it with contaminated hands. I understand the concept of self help even to mugs and glasses but imagine I just rubbed my nose sick with a flu and touched the glass then changed my mind and left it? Now the next person who picks the very same glass is going to get sick right? There is really no monitoring the hygiene aspect or is there? They need to work on the hygiene control aspect orelse I'm not going there. I was totally fine when I went there..it was 2 hrs after I got home I started getting a gritty feeling in my throat. Now it’s a full blown flu. I am an immune compromised Cancer patient and I have had to call dispatch health sick like a dog. Food, dishes, mugs, glasses need to be in a supervised area even if it means hiring more staff to manage and paying them.. to hand it out individually. Open food, cups, glasses lying in cabbies & trays is a no go. We need a standard health...
Read moreI haven't shopped at IKEA in probably six years and I think the last time I hit their cafeteria was over 20 years ago, probably 25 if I think about it. I guess I had a warm enough memory of it that when my wife wanted me to go to IKEA with her, she talked me into it by saying we could grab dinner at the cafeteria. I do love meatballs. They're like their own food group in my world, so I agreed.
The last time I had Swedish meatballs, I found a recipe online and made my own. They were pretty good and I guess I'm wondering why I haven't made them again since. They were definitely many orders of magnitude above the sad little things I was served at IKEA. Any meatball smaller than a golf ball is a waste of time and these were the size of marbles. If you remove the instant mashed potatoes, gravy and pees from the equation, you're paying about a $1 a marble. I don't consider that a good price. It honestly looked like a Swanson's Hungry Man dinner from the 1960-70's and the flavor was probably on par with that as well. In any case, I probably won't be back. Maybe they were good in the past and they put the team in charge of designing their low-quality, assemble-it- yourself furniture in charge of the recipes. That stuff is probably responsible for a significant portion of landfill deposits over the last 30-40 years since IKEA became...
