Love the strollers for the trays! For $24 we grabbed the following snacks for 3 adults and it was perfect! Pic attached: Kids meal Swedish meatballs 2 Kids meal Mac n Cheese with peas Marinara Pasta Strawberry shortcake The frozen strawberry yogurt is SO GOOD. $1.75 As for the service in warehouse. The men were yapping away and truly disappointing. They could see me lifting 66 inch boxes WHILE wearing a dress and continued yapping away. They offered help at the end but I work out so I ignored them cuz who needs a lazy man's help these days? read more

I came here with a friend who wanted to grab some small stuff for his new apartment, and got here on a Saturday evening around 6:30pm. Honestly, my last time here was back in 2022 when I needed furniture myself, so I don't come here very often. The building itself is massive and huge, housing many sections filled with furniture and tools of different kinds like for the kitchen, living room and bathroom, along with rooms for lighting and the warehouse where you can grab your stuff. This isn't even the bulk of it, and we spent a while in here while also getting some dessert! DISCLAIMER: If you're here for just food and/or know how IKEA works, you can skip the next two paragraphs of this review. When you get in, you can pick up a brochure outlining the approximate layout of the building's section and a small pencil. For almost every room, the larger furnitures have numbers on them that correspond to the parts you pick up yourself from their warehouse section, which comes just before the cash registers. There are smaller objects like small lamps, nuts and bolts, fixtures and pots that you can just pick up and put in your cart/bag. Even though each area is numbered a certain way and the map on the brochure looks linear, you can skip sections via shortcuts placed throughout. Otherwise, you follow the nicely placed arrows guiding you through all the sections and just enjoy the placements of some of the things you wanna get. I found myself oogling over the kitchen and bedroom setups every once in a while! Once you're done with all of that, you can purchase your items either through self checkout or at the registers where staff help you. Some of them also stay by the self-checkout areas and assist those who have trouble with some of the features. Some simple tips I have for grabbing objects: - Depending on what you get, make sure you grab ALL the parts for the stuff you get in the warehouse! They're usually clearly labeled but it's easy to miss some of them. - My friend used the IKEA app and came prepared ahead of time with a long list of items he wanted. He used some of the computers spread around the store to help him find which specific room carried the object(s) he was looking for. - Writing the numbers for larger goodies isn't always helpful as you might not remember what an object looks like when you reach the warehouse. I usually take photos of that number along with the object so I can gauge if I'm getting the right things. After doing all that shopping, we stopped by the small cafe just after the cash registers and got ourselves their frozen yogurt, which essentially tastes like vanilla ice cream but has a slightly different consistency from regular ice cream, something I can only describe as being a lot smoother than ice cream and a little tart. The cone it's served in is your standard ice cream cone. From friends who love going here, they advise to go during weekdays when it's not as packed, and to not try the overhype Swedish meatballs either. Since I'm a foodie, I'm gonna do the latter next time I come here! read more

i love IKEA whether i'm actually shopping or just wandering around for fun, it's always a good time. there's so much variety when it comes to furniture and decor, and honestly, my entire room is from ikea, which says a lot about how much i love it. everything is affordable in my opinion and good quality as well. a bang for your buck i'd like to say. this visit, i finally tried their famous swedish meatballs and i really liked them. my boyfriend wasn't into it at all, but it hit for me. it lowkey reminded me of the tv dinners i grew up eating in the best, most comforting way. nothing fancy, just simple and satisfying. but usually i always end up with their ice cream cones for $1.50 after spending $500 on furniture lol read more

Shopping in Renton, Washington... I was on my way to Ross when I saw a super big sign for IKEA... I had to take a look. IKEA is a fun store full of furniture, linens, lamps, dishes, decorations, kitchen gadgets, tote bags, beds, plushies, and more! I enjoy looking at the creative ways that the merchandise is placed together! I was going to get a bath mat for my niece's apartment, but IKEA had one in her bathroom's color! There were colander, hangers, and panda plushies on sale... Gosh, the prices were so reasonable! I had to get them for her! Then, I heard an announcement on the PA system. The first 40 customers in line with an IKEA account would get a gift card worth $5 to $500... I rushed to pay and went outside by the balloons. I think I was about the 30th person in line! My gift card was worth $10. Thank you! I'll be back tomorrow to win again! Maybe I'll dine in the cafeteria... Happy 40th Anniversary, IKEA! read more

Ikea is an interesting place. Ive never really understood the hype. I usually just go to stroll around on a day where its too cold or wet to walk outside. It always seems busy, lots of families with kids running around bouncing around on the furniture. People seem to leave their drink cups and other trash just laying around on shelves--which is pretty disrespectful. Most items are overpriced and/or cheaply made. Never really checked out the restaurant/cafe. Seems popular amongst the customers though. Several self checkout machines for ones chosen convenience. read more

There is truly something special about IKEA. It's affordable, accessible, large, and crazy good. Such great deals and no matter what budget - you can find something. I wasn't looking for anything in particular and really enjoyed myself. From seeing different designs for rooms to seeing their special finds such as berry jam! I had so much fun. The people are friendly and available to help. The selection is vast and it is nice to go even though so big, the way they have it set up where you just follow the signs, you will go through it all. Look forward to coming again!!! PS they have a clearance and gently used area. I don't recall this before but it was great to see what items they had at a discount! read more

3.5 stars I've never been to an Ikea before, so I decided to stop in. Huge displays of furniture and everything else you need from paintings, stuffed animals, and candles. Prices weren't bad either. They sell frozen food, have a quick cafe with pizza and frozen yogurt, and a restaurant. I grabbed some dinner at the restaurant- $5.50 for a kid's meal that included 4 of the Swedish meatballs with gravy, lingonberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and mac n cheese and tried the pear soda. Most of the food was kind of bland and could've been a little warmer. They were out of a lot of the desserts, but wasn't that busy otherwise. 2025 #5 read more

When did IKEA get this expensive? I have to admit I was a big fan of this store years ago, since they updated their building I don't go as much as I don't like the set up and honestly I haven't needed new furniture I quite a while. We went the other night, stopped at the restaurant first so my husband could eat some meatballs and I just ordered a side of mash and gravy. The meatballs were gross, the mash was bland but also had a funky taste. They do still have some good things like kitchenwares, those little heart cookies with the chocolate in the middle, frames, and some of their furniture that happens to be made of wood is still decent but even that it's become so flimsy. I went up to a curio cabinet I've seen before and just opening the doors and drawers you could tell the wood was thinner, flimsy and of course $100 more than last time I saw it. Everything is overpriced, cheaply made, and it kind of broke my heart because I loved that store. I collected their catalogues and still have them from 1999 until they stopped printing them. read more

Very good and not too expensive furniture here And very good cafe inside the store recommend trying read more

We've bought stuff from here and quality wasn't too bad. I guess depends on what you get. But it's a great place for outfitting a first apartment or dorm. They have tons of furniture and Knick knacks. Just be aware of how prices compare. The prices here are reasonable for what you get. We also come here for the meals. The food used to be a lot cheaper but these days, eating out has become more expensive. We got the meatballs. Just be aware that they're salty! Even without the gravy. There used to be more desserts but it was late afternoon when we went. If you have a free membership there are deals. All in all it's just fun to walk around and check out the display rooms and furniture read more

super duper big ikea, but they usually are like that lol. Did not do much shopping here with furniture as we all just came here for the cafeteria food. Had enough of a selection with sweet and savory foods, but was thankful that the Swedish meatballs were available. Nothing that matched to actual meatballs from Sweden, especially because no lingonberry :( the one that surprised me with how good it was: the selections of juice! Unlike any other flavors that I see in restaurants, shops, etc. definitely a must-try. Peas were very weak and tasteless, so not a good side with the Swedish meatballs. sauce was okay... at least they had a lot of tables and booths available. Nice and clean because customers knew to clean after themselves, but janitors ensured that the ground was squeaky clean! the servers of the food were competent at their job, so the long line dissipated pretty quick. I like that there is a big window that overlooks the parking lot of IKEA because we went during wintertime when it was snowing. Such a neat sight! meal was not that expensive, so worth trying at least for the first time read more

I love Ikea the prices are excellent and you can't miss the meat balls. I would shop here7ch more if it wasn't so far away. It is a little hard to find things with it all in a foreign language, but the prices are fantastic read more

Not bad store with furniture . It's best to come to the store, because online is a very bad program

The biggest issue with this location is that you don't learn something is out of stock until after you've wandered the entire store, picked out what you want on the floor, and made it to the end. No joke, about 75% of the items we like on the floor end up being out of stock. Last year, while remodeling a bathroom, not a single sink + vanity combo was available. We even tried piecing one together separately, still nothing compatible in stock. That was wild to me. So we stopped shopping in-store and started using Click & Collect... which is also hit or miss. I've had some pickups go smoothly, but today was not one of those times. I ordered last night for a 10-11 AM pickup. That window passed with no update. I called around 2 PM and was told my order didn't even start getting picked until 1:30 PM and should be ready by 3:30. It's now 5:30 PM, still nothing. That's a 7+ hour delay for a scheduled pickup with zero proactive communication. Honestly, between the stock unreliability and these fulfillment delays, IKEA is becoming way more effort than it's worth. read more

I grew up with an ikea next door back home and I loved it. I was a little disappointed to find out that this ikea is 2 hours away from us but we make it into a whole day adventure. We take our time walking through the showrooms to get inspiration then we grab lunch in the cafeteria. Once we are done eating we head to the self service furniture area and grab whatever we need. We've never had a problem with ikea and I love getting all the inspirational ideas from the show rooms! read more

If I could give less than a star, I would. From the cashier that checked us out, that seemed to have an attitude, to the lazy guys at the warehouse pick up area....stood waiting for my item for over 45 minutes....if you don't want to work, then let someone that needs the job an opportunity ..........totally unacceptable.......NEVER EVER AGAIN!!! This is the Elizabeth, NJ store read more

So IKEA, yes the Scandinavian inspired design store now made primarily in china.

Very difficult finding employees to assist you with finding products in-store. Turns a 20min trip to a 45min-1hr trip trying to navigate this labyrinth of a hangar.

There were a few household items that we weren't expecting to find, but happy we did. There were some merchandise that we've seen, but didn't need because we already have in exact same colors. Quality and prices for merchandise we're searching are reasonable. Two workers tried to help me find what I was looking for. We had to extensively search. Found the item. Thank you both for your help. read more

If shopping at Ikea be aware of potentially misrepresented and misleading pricing. As we were shopping, we picked up a set of sheets and took a pic of the tag showing the discounted price. We had to be Ikea Family member to get that price so signed up online and scanned card and items. Sheets rang up at full price. We were in self-check so had an employee come help. I showed her the pic. She looked on website and said it is not onsale. I said it is shown with this lower price right now in your store, I just took that picture. She left to look into it and came back a few minutes later stating the department staff member she called said it is not on sale, it is full price. Did they change the tag then??? If this in an honest mistake they will change the displayed price. If this is a systemic pattern of bait and switch.....buyer beware and shop elsewhere! read more

Maybe we were spoiled by the West Covina location in soCal but this one left a lot to be desired, especially the restaurant. We are in a perpetually rainy state and you have outdoor parking? With cardboard boxes? Make it make sense. Maybe sunday's are the wrong day to go, but I feel like a lot of the stock was out throughout the store. We couldn't find black cutlery. We couldn't find certain pillows. We couldn't find certain bedding. Don't even get me started with the restaurant. It used to be enjoyable (again, maybe Covina just got it on lockdown, idk) but this one was a hot mess and a half. None of the soda fountains worked. I got charged for 4 water bottles even though I clearly had 2. I asked the remaining cashier for help and she didn't speak English and told me to wait for the cashier who made the error. Well, that gal never came back so after a while, my annoyed husband just went and grabbed us 2 more bottles to end the dumb misery. That's when a manager showed up to check in with us. Whatever. The food left a lot to be desired. Peas were hard, garlic loaves were hard, mash was meh, there were no fountain drinks, and it was so hot. We came out of there drenched in sweat. My husband works HVAC and he was perplexed - why spend so much money on a huge system that you won't turn on? I love the concept of the little childcare area but what's the point if the parents still bring their crotch goblins with them and let them run amuck? It would be so easy to snatch a couple and sneak out. It's insane that parents just let them run ahead of them and hide and be content in focusing on kitchens instead of the well-being of their kids. But I digress. Go at your own risk. read more

Came to ikea to browse for my new apartment and for an easy meal. It wasn't super busy that day which was nice to have the ability to get through the store without much hustle and bustle. The restaurant had a very long line though and not much selection in their cold case. However we were there for the meatballs and of course they had them there. They're always consistent and well paired with the gravy and mashed potatoes. The veggies were as good as steamed veggies can be - not much flavor and no salt at all. It was a bit more expensive than I expected or remembered so maybe next time, order the 16 pc plate and split with folks instead of the 8 pc plate for one person. read more

Because of defective product, I had to drive 40 minutes to IKEA, wait for 60minutes for return and for the replacement, and now I have to drive 40 minutes back home. Very frustrating and very very angry. Very understaffed facility with no help. read more

Absolutely the worst experience ever!! Tom and I went on a Monday night (March 16) to return a drawer that we no longer need. Put ourselves on the queue. I don't understand why the store has 9 return registers and only 2 people working??? The Asian woman with long black straight hair was doing a return for someone on the phone... (I feel like the customer should be in person to do a return). The other employee (black, wearing a blue beanie) was handling a customer's return that took well over 30 mins. By that time, at least 15 people were waiting in the queue. After the black employee with a beanie helped that customer and didn't even acknowledge any of the customers who were waiting to do our returns. And he just got out of the register and took his break. Going back to the Asian guy and the straight long black hair, after a while to resolve the issue with the customer who was on the phone. He had to get another person to help(presuming it was the manager?). While the Asian guy was just chilling behind her. He could have easily stepped into another register to do returns....After waiting for an hour at this point we needed to talk to a manager because this was the worst experience my husband and I ever had. We spoke to Karen the manager (a thick, white woman) to tell her about our frustration. The moment she walked up to the guys. She said, "She's right with us. I need to do something really quick". Long story short, all we wanted was for her to put more employees on the register to help lower the queue. But apparently, she basically said that only two people are able to do the registers??? Karen gave us a bullshit excuse and walked away. My husband and I both worked at a major retail store and I don't believe that only 2 employees are qualified to do returns. If that's the case, the company or location needs some major cross-training and that's ridiculous. Next to the return registers, the pick-up station is there. Two employees were chit-chatting away. They can easily step in to help kill the queue. The Asian employee could have explained/apologized to all the customers who had been waiting for over an hour. But instead, he was standing there doing nothing. Absolutely the worst experience ever. Karen the manager gave us a bullshit excuse and walked off. The black employee with a beanie took 30 mins helping a customer and walked away without acknowledging all the customers waiting just for him to take his break. Is your 15-30 mins break that important that you can't help kill the queue??? The Asian employee didn't even bother to apologize to all the customers waiting because of him and his customer ON THE PHONE. Like he really can't hop onto another till??? The company/location needs some major cross-training. I still don't believe that out of all the employees working, only 2 people are able to do returns. read more

Love Ikea, definitely an unique shopping experience. I like that they are inexpensive in general but great designs. The whole store is organized well that you hardly have to reach out to the staff with questions. The returns process is quite simple as well. The only thing I dislike about this ikea is that, a good number of items are out of stock very frequently. May be because it's the only ikea in the state ? I haven't seen this in other ikeas in the places I lived before. There is a lot of parking in the premises. I highly recommend this store for anyone looking to furnish their homes without breaking their bank. read more

IKEA has a fun menu that most people can find something they enjoy. We add an hour to our trip plan so we can enjoy a meal. The lines can get long, I waited about twenty minutes to get my meal my last visit. The furniture is self explanatory, either you want to be part of the manufacturing process or you don't. I don't mind it so it works for us. read more

IKEA - Eight meatball meal. - Furniture Stores Near Me - Renton, Washington

The king of affordable furniture that you assemble on your own. This massive warehouse in Renton provides so many ideas and options thanks to their well designed displays. My suggestion is to come right when they open or right before closing. It can get pretty busy and crowded during the peak hours and on weekends. We came here to buy an affordable option for a kitchen pantry. Pricing out a custom option would have cost me over $2,000. We found a beautiful piece for $400. Yes, you have to assemble it yourself, but that's the reason why it is so affordable. And don't forget to sign up for an Ikea account and download the app. I got 5% off my entire purchase, which helps to offset some of the sales tax cost. read more

I don't quite understand the low scores, you know what you get at IKEA and I always had a great experience. This time around I bought a loft bed + mattress and sheets and got it delivered to my door. The whole ordering and delivering experience was flawless. Then we decided to find a set of cabinets that would work as stairs, instead of using the bed stairs. Went online on IKEA.com and found the Trofast series. Added that to my shopping list, so I knew where to find it in the store and went to the store to see it, to determine if it could work. I felt like it was sturdy enough so we bought it and, after a minimal reinforcement work with parts from Home Depot, now we have a very convenient, space saving and useful setup. In the past I had to deal with returns and spare parts and the experience was always pleasant. read more

This is our favorite place when on the continental US. Love everything they offer and more, but the cafe is our favorite grab a quick meal. Love the Swedish meatballs, salmon, green salads, desserts and side dishes. And they upgraded the soda dispenser to flavored seltzers. Tried with Mac and cheese and we loved it, different kind of cheese. Particularly loved this day, it was 50% off each entree (limited offer) read more

Wanted to purchase a new kitchen cabinet suite. I had to go to the store to design it because there was no way to do it correctly with the software online they provide. I had a really nice lady help me in the store. Now that I am home, I tried to pull up the design on my account and I cant figure out where it is. I called the 888 number and the gal on the phone had no idea what to tell me on where to go to access it. I hung up with her and tried to call the 888 number again to speak with the woman who help me in the store.... NOPE. no answer in the store and was told to call back tomorrow. by the 888 number guy. BUT... They are open for another 1.5 hours.. Why tell me to wait until tomorrow?? UGH .. this much trouble and I have not even purchased the kitchen yet.. I will most definitely NOT be purchasing the kitchen from them. Way to much of a hassle and not able to speak with anyone. read more

Hold on...I am not saying IKEA is Ethan Allen. However, there are a few items to seriously consider. My #1 would be their selection of unscented candles. IKEA taper candles are AMAZING! I love, love, love the 13.75" white ones @ 8 for $11.00 (less than $1.40 each). They are so romantic and sexy in their stature. They will definitely make a presence at any dinner party, wedding, or soiree, not to mention on those rare nights when you bring out those cool silver candlesticks you found at Goodwill and lock yourself in the bathroom for a bubble bath with the really great wireless headphones that block out the dog, the "discussions" over whose turn it is to unload the dishwasher...ahhh...but I digress... ; ) AND... The 20-pack of 7.5" white tapers for just .50 a piece? Hurray! Both share my favorite qualities: The color is consistent. They really are pretty "dripless." The price is fantastic! Even against Amazon! I have used these beauties for years and have tried (more expensive) "tapers" to no avail. I ordered mine ONLINE! Hurray!!! The pillars are pretty fantastic as well, just saying! I am not a fan of any scented candles just because I would prefer to control the scents at a party; that's just me, but their white ones are RIDICULOUSLY REASONABLE AND INCREDIBLY FABULOUS! Try these; you will thank me! read more

IKEA - Lovely! - Furniture Stores Near Me - Renton, Washington

We purchased a storage bed and mattress for a spare bedroom. A few days later we decided on different plans for the bedroom and to cancel the order. We contacted customer service prior to delivery and were able to cancel the order within minutes. However, that when service changed. National customer service was not able to process our refund and said that the local store would have to process the refund since it was a in-store purchase which was required due to delivery. National customer service would not give me the number to the local store which is not published and only put in a ticket. Was told I would be called either that afternoon or the next day. Not called within the timeframe so called National customer service again. Multiple transfers but finally got me to someone who gave me the local store number. Called the store and got vmail. Never called back. Had to call them multiple times before finally getting someone at the resolution desk. Took over 35 minutes on the phone with the resolution desk to process the refund. This is nuts. Will never purchase anything from IKEA again! Buyer beware read more

This review is for the food area. The lines can be awfully long after opening. It would be nice if they opened up 2 sides of the cafeteria but maybe they don't have enough employees. Here's a food tip (and if you're indecisive like me): you know how when you go to a food place and you want to try everything but don't want to commit to a full entree. Order for the kids meal. Gaaaaame changer! I wanted some chicken tenders but also wanted some swedish meatballs. But I don't want to order 2 full meal, because that's overkill. I ordered both from the kids menu and added in a mac and cheese. It came out to be around $8 and was a good enough portion. The food area has ample of seating area, and a lot of good lighting. I would totally recommend coming here for breakfast or lunch, as they have some bacon and eggs for breakfast. read more

IKEA - Kids meals and side of Mac and cheese - Furniture Stores Near Me - Renton, Washington

Food rating only! The line in here on a weekend was absolutely insane. Sure it's a weekend, but it took nearly 45 minutes to get the food. Though I will admit picking up the trolley cart and wheeling things over is kind of cute. I like their cranberry drink option because it's one of the unique ones, and their meatballs are definitely worth getting. The chicken is fine but nothing special -- target those meatballs! I honestly recommend just getting nothing but servings of meatballs separately rather than the meal. More worth the money. The cake was a pleasant surprise because it wasn't as crazy sweet as I imagined it might be. The soft serve only comes in a cup now due to COVID (?) and looks a little silly, but it's tasty. Vastly prefer other options over it but it'll do. Fun experience if you're willing to dedicate the day to shopping and waiting for food both! read more

Came here for furniture shopping but needed food before all the crazy walk in the store. They always have the greatest Swedish meatballs, gravy, and mashed potatoes! It felt like a thanksgiving meal but better than having Turkey. I personally obsessed with the broccoli and potatoes thing(I forgot what's it called), but my bf doesn't.

Ikea meatballs with mashed potatoes and lingonberry is a classic and absolutely delicious. Guilty of traveling to Ikea before just for this dish. Cafeteria style, bus back by yourself at the end.

IKEA - meatballs, gravy, lingonberry sauce - Furniture Stores Near Me - Renton, Washington

It's the only Ikea in the state so you're stuck with what you got. All Ikeas are the same, so if you've been to one, you've been to all of them. If you know the tricks of getting to what you need in store, you don't have to do the whole walk to Bataan that is the display rooms. The only thing that sucks is lack of scooter carts for the disabled. Thumbs up to the Monday night bingo. It makes the place feel like a community center and it's a nice free date activity, but you have to rsvp and the space fills up fast a month in advance. They have wheelchairs you can borrow so at least there's that, but my mom likes the independence of getting around without my help. It makes her feel like she's still thriving. I like how the meatballs come in small and big portions so you have options. read more
