I travel quite often for business and I enjoy eating the local fare you can’t get anywhere else. I saw The Meatball Shop featured on the travel channel and the menu sounded good and the concept was interesting, so I thought I would give it a try. After a couple of hours in Chinatown, my wife and I made our...

Try the beef balls with spicy sauce and the family jewels. And get a small glass of beer for $3.

Had lunch here recently and would agree the meatballs are fantastic. So are the homemade ice cream sandwiches. The place is crowded and you might have to sit at a communal table if there are no empty seats. It's very New York!

The Meatball Shop is a great place to eat. Attentive service and great food! Good price too! Order a bottle of Prosecco if there is a few of you dining!

An absolute nightmare to find - especially in a near white out! A bit out of the way but well worth tracking down! Great and simple to use menu - I wanted to eat the lot! Lovely food and definitely one of the highlights of my taste buds trip along with Lombardis! Service was really good and considering this is...

Had a great dinner - meatball hero that came with a terrific side salad, plus home made ice cream sandwich - for $20, including tip. HIGHLY recommended for both value and quality of food. I found it well worth seeking out on Lower East Side during recent visit to Big Apple.

and am I glad I did - the place is always really crowded and now I know why - it is awesome - the meatballs they were good, sure...but the sauces and the sides are what will keep me coming back - the pesto is to die for!

Went to The Meatball Shop tonight and had a great time. We were a group of 5 so we had to wait a little while (we were quoted an hour) for seats because the place is on the small side even though it was a Tuesday night. We got there around 9:30. We had done some research before so we...

I admit I was skeptical of a restaurant called "The Meatball Shop". I would highly recommend this place for lunch however. I had a 2 ball smash on brioch with a side salad. It was DELICIOUS! You get to choose the type of meatball, sauce and cheese. The staff was upbeat, friendly and patient (as it takes a while to...
