 I do prefer it slightly than the old one. I don't know them. And you're trying to get his girlfriend back, right? What's going on, everybody? Welcome to another special food court edition of Fung Gros Food. So we just did Costco. We just did Sam's Club. And because you guys asked for it, now we're doing IKEA. Yes, we are talking about IKEA, everybody's favorite Swedish furniture manufacturer. If you don't know how to design like your new spot, just go to IKEA and just get some ideas. Everybody knows that IKEA is known for like moms and lax and like easily put together furniture. Garbendorvins, scar schools. The food court at IKEA is very interesting because it's Swedish. But there is two parts to IKEA's food. One, there is the restaurant that is actually there pretty much close to the entrance right when you walk in. And towards the end, there is the exit cafe, AKA the bistro right before you leave. And that has all your hot dogs, pizza, cinnamon rolls and sodas. Back in college, I worked at IKEA. I worked at the bistro at the end. I was making coffee, I was putting the grinder in. IKEA food court review, let's go. All right, everybody, thank you so much for clicking on that video.

Now you can enjoy the rest of this video. Boom. All right, everybody, the first dish that we have to review, IKEA Swedish meatballs. And they are coming in two forms. They have the pork Swedish meatballs, which are the classic ones. And then they have these new veggie ones. So the Swedish meatballs coming in at 4.99 and the veggie meatballs coming in at 3.99. They look like they're made out of meat. Let's go with the classic, what, with the lingonberry sauce? Lingonberry is essentially like a Swedish cranberry. So we're gonna eat the Swedish meatballs with the gravy and no lingonberry sauce, all right? IKEA Swedish meatballs. The way it broke down was pretty good because you feel like you taste the gravy and then it starts to break down more into the meats. So these are beef and pork. They wanna make all the vegans mad. So we gotta try one with the lingonberry. All right. This looks like popping pearls. Lingonberry. With the lingonberry sauce, would you put it over just the gravy? I would. I would say go light on the lingonberry. Vegetarian Swedish meatball. It was a little more mushy, but I felt the outside, they really cooked it together on the outside. I don't wanna be a negative Nancy, but I did not really like that one. But you can't stop Debbie Downer. Okay, I will say Nelson, you are not the biggest fan of vegetarian food period. I have not. I don't want any damn vegetable. When I bit into it, it just like mushed all into like, no, together. I eat no vegetables like on its side in and by itself and stuff. But I guess I'll mix together like that, grind it up and stuff. I gotta say, man, that has a lot of flavor. I do like the pork and beef Swedish meatballs overall better, but this in a way does have more flavor because it has more seasoning. My ranking on the IKEA Swedish meatball, 3.5 out of five. And then on the vegetarian one, also a 3.5 out of five. I will give them the regular meatballs, four out of five. Four. And then for those. What are those? I'll give it a 2.5 out of five. I'm gonna actually give the Swedish meatballs four out of five. Vegetarian. I'm gonna also give it a four out of five. Can we point out the quinoa? Oh. Oh, jeez. Quinoa? Well, you know what? If you don't like vegetarian food, no, you're not gonna like the quinoa. So try the quinoa. That's gonna help you jump higher though. No, that's good. That's not bad. Yeah. I like it. Do you like it even better than the meatballs? I do. Really? I do. Is it because you don't like the fake meat. You don't like the vegetarian meat that's faking the funk. I gotta wash down some of this stuff with some drinks. I'm gonna get the apple and jor-gub. Jor-gub, I believe is strawberry. Strik paran, I'm thinking that means pear drink. It's not like that. Apples though, when you first read it though. Appleson. Yeah, but it's actually orange. Appleson sounds like a last name. Yo, I have this smoothie, blabar, and halon. Cheers guys. I was gonna say, are these organic? And I read the box that said organic. Man, this is a smoothie blend. This is 100% juice, but I definitely feel like without it being cold, it doesn't taste that good. I'm cutting up. You make though. We have some items from the IKEA bistro. Andrew, can we trust you to give an unbiased review of the bistro? Not on that team anymore, man. I switched to H&M, another Swedish company. Might as well just move to Sweden. Let's go into the pizza first because we've been reviewing pizza at Sands Club in Costco so much. It's just one flavor of cheese. Just cheese. Cheese. They keep it simple. IKEA's pizza coming in at $1.75. IKEA cheese pizza. The crust is really thick, but it's very light on the bottom. You know they don't have the little bubbles. Flavor-wise, not bad. Definitely kind of tastes just like a cheese stick. You know, it doesn't have that much flavor to it. It has too much breading compared to like topping. Hey, don't go to IKEA for the pizza. 2.5 out of 5. 2.5 out of 5. Give it a 3 out of 5. They recently introduced the vegetarian hot dog. We've got the IKEA hot dogs coming in at 75 cents, both for the meat and the vegetarian version. Vegetarian hot dog. Said it has like a lot of ginger. It has a lot of vegetable flavor. I mean. Tastes like a little Asian. Little ginger. Ginger-mated Asian. Now I'm not mad at this. I wouldn't say I would eat it over a regular meat hot dog, but if you give it to me, I would eat it. Whoa, they even have fried onions on it too. Look at all the color in it. So that was pickled red cabbage. You got fried onions. You have a sweet mustard. You know, apparently IKEA sold a million of those in the first month. It's got regular texture. That was way better than the vegetarian meatball. All right, let's try the IKEA hot dogs here. So as you guys can see, I love how the hot dog is sticking out beyond the bun. That means you're getting a good deal. They just give you mustard and ketchup. They don't deal with all the relish and the onions. They try to keep it simple. I actually enjoyed that a little bit better than the Sam's Club hot dog. 3.5 out of five. I mean, price taken in consideration. I mean, I could see 3.5 out of five. I gave it 3 out of five. I felt like the bread wasn't as good. Nice, thick, but it's very dry, very airy. Okay. But the hot dog wiener was pretty tasty. All right guys, real quick. I'm gonna try it with the red cabbage and fried onions from the vegetarian dog left over. See how this tastes. A little bit better, it's a little bit better. Bias. Bias. No, I think for the vegetarian hot dog at 75 cents, I gotta go with 4.5 out of five. Why? Why? Yeah. 4.5 out of five? That's high. I was gonna give it slightly better than the actual this hot dog. I was gonna say 3.5 out of five. All right, I'm gonna stay with the 4 out of five for the vegetarian dog. Pretty good. I have a hard time giving it 4.5. I will say this guy's low-key, the vegetarian stuff that they have at Ikea is maybe the most flavorful. Here we have the turkey breast medallions coming in at 6.99, the beef tenderloin coming in at 8.99, and then the salmon fish filet coming in at 6.99. I never thought I'd be at Ikea cutting a piece of meat like it was, ooh. You don't get this at your normal food court. Hey, that beef shredded pretty nicely, man. Turkey medallion. Beef tenderloin. Salmon filet. Hey, hey, hey. My favorite was the salmon. My favorite was the salmon as well. I'm rolling with the salmon. That was the most delicious. That was super good. That was super soft. It was with the hollandaise sauce. My next up goes the beef. And then lastly, which wasn't bad, was the turkey medallion. It's real turkey, but it's definitely chopped up and packed together into a patty. It's almost like a turkey patty. This had actually a lot of good flavoring, but it was very dry. This was very, very soft, very tender, but it was lacking in flavor. I'm going with 4.5 on the salmon, 3.53. For $7, you cannot go wrong. This is a 4.5. I'm going to roll with a 4. And then this one, big jump down to the 3. 4 on the salmon. Then we're going to go with a 3.5 and a 3. Yo, I'm feeling this cauliflower cake. 4.5 on the salmon plate, holistically. Holistic 4, 4.5 on the salmon plate. Because it gives you the cake, too. Yeah, because you get the cake. Guys, that hollandaise sauce is killing that dish. Growing up in Seattle, actually, there's actually a lot of Scandinavian slash Nordic people, and they eat a lot of salmon out there, too. While we grew up eating a lot of salmon, we got first off, chicken tenders coming in at $6.99. Chicken tenders. Wow. It does need a sauce because it's kind of dry, but flavor-wise, not bad. I'd say the outside is still crispy. 3.5 out of 5. I'm rolling with 3.5 out of 5. I thought it was 3. After that, though, how dry that was? That chicken was dry, real dry. I got to go in on another drink, the Drick Flother. I got the Apple Strawberry. Drick Lingon. Mine is elderflower. So here's the thing about lingonberry juice. It's light cranberry juice, except even less tart. You know, you drink that Ocean Spray cranberry juice. You kind of, like, your mouth makes this face afterwards, like, this one. It doesn't. This really legit tastes like a smoothie. It's actually, like, a legit smoothie in there. It's got this raspberry-flavored Drick Helen. Tastes like vitamin water. Whoa. This is actually pretty good, man. You want to try this? Kind of tastes like chrysanthemum. It has the floral taste, kind of like chrysanthemum. It's similar. Similar. Similar. In the beeninging. In the beening. In the beeninging. Similar to chrysanthemum, but this is a... I think it's a little more sweet. Yo, shout out to the Drick Flother. I might say that's the best drink. Flother. We got the salmon wrap right here. Oh, guys. OK, let me just show you the smoked salmon. So this one, as you can see, has mixed greens. It has some sweet mustard dill in it. Ikea salmon wrap, $3.99. Let's do this. I don't know about the wrap, man. What do you feel? I feel like some of those mixed greens are getting in the way. They're kind of making it bitter. I thought it was a 3.5 out of 5. The salmon by itself is, like, a 4 out of 5. And then everything else to me was, like, a 2 out of 5. So averaging that, 3 out of 5. I'm going to give it a 2.5 out of 5. I feel like, to me, my favorite part of it was actually the tortilla wrap. The salmon, I felt like it could be smoked a little more. This is a comfort food favorite of America, mac and cheese, $1.99. Almost like a creamy alfredo of mac and cheese. But tell me you didn't get a little bit of that sharp cheddar feeling, though. Smooth but sharp. Hey, how you doing? 3.5. OK, that's all I take. I like it. I'm biased. I'm biased. I'm biased. If you say 5, I'm going to slap you, bro. Ha ha ha. Well, you better get ready to slap me right there. Ah, 4 out of 5. 4 out of 5. Solid, solid. I got to go 3.5. OK, 3.5. I was thinking about it. I think had there been maybe, like, some of the baked oven crust, I felt like it was missing something. If it had, like, maybe one more, like, item in there. I would have sprinkled some of those fried onions on top. The sweetest meatballs in the mac and cheese. Oh, that's interesting. We have finished with the hot foods, and now we are on to dessert. We have the delicious cinnamon buns at $1 each. I don't connect with these cinnamon buns as much. They used to look more gooey, right? Yeah, these don't look like the Princess Leia's. They're looking like the UAF players, dude. They don't look the same. It's almost like I don't know them. Man, you make it sound like that's your first time girlfriend or something. And she like, tell me I'm pretty. Tell me I'm pretty. Tell me I'm pretty. Nelson, I want to say got worse or got better. Man, they're quite soft. Ikea cinnamon rolls. I think your first time girlfriend got better. She glowed up. She blossomed. Look at that. That is so soft, man. That is looking like a chocolate croissant. Let me say this. Overall, I do think it's better than the old cinnamon bun. There's like heavy gooeyness, but heavy dryness. That sort of juxtaposition, the contrast, is too stark for me. It's an interesting take. I can't say that it's better or worse. I maybe prefer, actually, the old way. I'm going to give it a 4 out of 5, because I was not expecting it to taste just based on how it looked. And also, it's a dollar. I've got to go with 4 for a dollar. I mean, a dollar. Guys, if you take in price and consideration, give it a 4 out of 5. 4 out of 5. And I do prefer it slightly than the old way. And we're trying to get his girlfriend back. I see you can probably send her back. All right, guys. No, you didn't make a comment about how tiny the slice is. I was about to say, who ate the brownie already? They're very dense stuff. The gooey brownie, 150. 4.5 out of 5. It's so good. It's so good. It just tastes good. The texture was perfect for me. Nice and gooey, soft. Does it justify how small it is? It does. For 150? All right, I take it. For 150, size doesn't matter. Nice. 5 out of 5. Whoa! Is that the first 5 in the series? Is that the first ever 5 in the series? I don't think we ever gave a 5. No, did you give the churros, Costco churros 5? We did. I can't believe you gave Costco churros 5. 4.5 out of 5. Ah! I gotta cut out the sweets a little bit because I'm not trying to get that dunk packet, but I would eat that again. Nelson's Life does revolve around dunking. Guys, if you have any suggestions on dunkable foods, let us know in the comments down below. All right, man. We'll do a dunk package video. It is a holiday season. Pumpkin pie, 199. I felt like it was too mushy. I wish the crust was a little harder. I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5. This pumpkin pie filling is good. Give it a 3.5 out of 5. I'm actually at 3.25 again. That means three, guys. These last two are touted as probably the top cakes at IKEA. Lingonberry cheesecake, 2.99. I felt like the Lingonberry adds a good taste to it. I would give it 3.5 out of 5. 3.5 out of 5? 3.5 out of 5, yeah. I'm with you guys in 3.5 out of 5. Solid. It was solid, but not great. There we got the chocolate cake. You know what I like about this chocolate cake? It looks like every bite is good. You got the cake. You got the frosting. You got the filling. The 2.99 chocolate cake from IKEA. You got a 4 out of 5. 4 out of 5, that was good. That was a really big bite after really, yeah. I thought the regular chocolate cake was a 4 out of 5. Real quick, guys, what was your favorite thing and what did you take away? And don't everybody say the salmon, because we know the salmon was good, though. Well, then let me say the salmon. I thought I was just impressed by how soft the filet was. The classic meatballs. I liked it without the Lingonberry. The vegetarian hot dog. Oh. I love pickled cabbage. I thought the sweet mustard was nice. Elderflower drink. Elderflower drink. Oh, the elderflower drink. Okay, so we all decided that the best dessert was obviously the gooey brownie. Basically, I think stuff like IKEA, IKEA being a furniture store, and they have very decent food. Mm-hmm. All right, you guys, that does it for the IKEA Restaurant and Be Sure to Review.
