    This was my very first time trying out this restaurant. What is wrong with me? I've lived here for almost 25 years and I only always check out the furniture, not the food. I regret it! But now that I've tried it out, I'm very much aware of what I missed out on. The food is priced almost like it was in the early 2000s. Swedish meatballs for $3.99? My husband and I got the lox salad (forgot the cost) but it all came to a little over $20. Not bad! We left full. The whole place is so clean and inviting. Although you get food cafeteria style, it came across as a premium restaurant. The large windows gave us a great view of Covina and the tables and chairs were so aesthetically pleasing. We will definitely come back here to try the other offerings. The food here is wonderfully affordable and yummy!

    I get it now, the whole IKEA meatball crazy. It certainly wasn't the best meatball i ever had but it was a nice treat after spending quite of bit of time and money in the store. We had their little version of the famous bowl (KFC). It was surprisingly a good. The sweet, salty, and slightly creamy mix was unique.

    $1.99 pasta with marinara sauce and four meatballs is a fantastic deal. The pasta texture is so so and tastes bland. But mix the pasta in with the marinara sauce and meatball, it's truly just okay. Service is fast and cafeteria ambiance is not for everyone, however, I find it to be a nice place to chill. Oh, their $2 fountain drink sparkling cola is sugar free and lacks carbonation IMO.

    My family and I like to eat here for years for lunch or dinner after shopping. If you are member of IKEA family, you can get 50% any adult entree. This offer is valid only Monday to Friday. Ordered: Garlic Bread Soda Swedish Meatball plate, added extra meatballs for $4 more Potatoes Cheese Cod Plate Delish always! Friendly service. Great Service. Ambiance is nice and always clean. Definitely will be back.

    Decent experience. I'd say for what it's worth, you're getting a fairly good meal. The only downside is that the style of service is reminiscent of a hospital cafeteria, and the seating, although aesthetically nice, resembles a school yard. Otherwise, the overall visits I have made from time to time have been good. The meatballs and salmon are my favorite items here.

    I've never had a bad experience at the IKEA restaurant and this time was no different. I'm writing a review because they have a deal for 50% off hot entrees for IKEA family members! I'm not sure if this is something they always have or if it's temporary (I only go to IKEA a handful of times a year). I got the classic 8-meatball plate and a cup of mushroom bisque. After the discount, I paid less than $10. A steal on top of an already good price for a meal!

    Plant-based meatballs
    Maggie C.

    3.5 stars I came on a weekday afternoon. The area was not too crowded, but wasn't super empty either. I got 8 plant-based meatballs. My expectations weren't too high so I was pleasantly surprised by the texture. Not too mushy and the flavor itself was fine but obviously better when dipped in the gravy and jam. This was paired with a scoop of mashed potatoes and green peas. I also tried a bite of the smoked salmon salad. I did not like the smoked salmon - and this is coming from someone who enjoys sushi. The texture was way too slimy for me and it was incredibly fishy-tasting. Maybe the squeeze of lemon would've saved it but I did not want to try it again after that first initial piece. The rest of the salad was fine: greens with honey dill dressing and a scoop of potato salad. Cafeteria style so self-service clean up: drop your tray and plates off at the return station. Overall it was fine. I wouldn't come out of my way to eat here but it's a once-in-awhile fun experience when shopping for furniture.

    Double flag enjoy!

    We were curious about having meatballs here for dinner. I mean it's a Swedish specialty. It was a weeknight when we stopped in to check out the holiday merchandise and decided to have meatballs. The restaurant wasn't too busy so there was no wait to order your meal. Cafeteria style setting and service. You pick your plate from dessert to sides and entree. The staff is quick and attentive. The meatballs remind me of elementary school meatballs - it was bringing back memories! Mashed potatoes and the lingonberry sauce completes it! No on should expect Italian meatballs that's just not what this is. I enjoyed it. Completed my meal with a strawberry shortcake. Moist and not overly sweet, cream layer and puree of strawberry. Not bad. I would pop in for this when shopping. And when craving those Swedish meatballs (also can have this with plant based balls too!) Grab a snack or a meal when you're here shopping.

    Frozen yogurt

    Came back to look around IKEA and ended the trip with a nice frozen yogurt cone. I would've chosen it in a cup but they didn't have that option on the kiosk. The yogurt was still yummy especially with the cone. There was hardly a wait time and plenty of seating.

    Swedish Meatballs
    Andy T.

    After a walking around the entire iKea store, I built up an appetite. It was a great time to stop by their restaurant for their iconic Swedish meatball. I got the 12 pc meatball, which came with mash potatoes, peas, and a jelly sauce. The mash potatoes and peas were okay. The meatballs were definitely the highlight of the dish. The jam was interesting, as it wasn't too sweet. It wasn't a particular favorite to me, but could see the appeal. I went on a weekday at around 2:00 pm. There was a lot of seating inside and many were still available at the time. There was a line, so be prepared to wait to order and pay. American Express is accepted.

    The real highlight here is the 50% off Hot Entree deal, which runs Monday through Friday if you use your IKEA membership card. Salmon was good along with the fries Penne pasta was too watery and bland Mac n Cheese reminds me of cafeteria food or microwaveable and was alright. Chicken tenders tasted like Fish tenders. Overall I would come back for the salmon. Still a great deal! Went downstairs for ice cream. Didn't like my strawberry and vanilla ice cream. The strawberry tasted like raspberry. I would only do vanilla next time.

    Weekday specials

    I am pleasantly surprised that IKEA did changed the ingredients and manage the restaurant better over 3 months ago. The restaurant is clean, and with plenty of coffee, creamers, sugar. The check out lady is friendly. Overall, the biggest difference is prices did go up, but the quality of food and taste gone up substantially! The dessert cakes are still very well made!

    Penne Pasta, Side of Meatballs, & a Side of Garlic Toast
    Michelle K.

    Always a perfect choice for simple and basic cheap eats. Food might be plain but you can always jazz it up yourself. Add a bit of half and half to the sauce. Add some cheese, etc. My meal was filling and and dirt cheap! I got the penne pasta, with a side of meatballs, and a side of garlic toast.

So do with that as you will. Locals must think this is good food. Located in a tiny corner strip mall on a desolate street is this little breakfast/brunch place. I wish I had listened to the 1 star reviews and not gone in. I especially wish I had seen that Yelp had their health listing rated at C before I ordered. Isn't it the law that a restaurant must display their health rating in the window, cause it wasn't displayed anywhere to be seen. So first they brought out a large jug of water with some fruit slices and mint in it. Would've been nice if the water wasn't room temperature. Is the ice machine not working? Then came the best part of the entire meal - my hazelnut latte. The coffee was good and the cup is gigantic. My teen had the french toast, eggs (scrambled), and bacon plate. The one slice of french toast was okay but nothing special. The eggs were bland and lacking any seasoning including salt and pepper. The bacon, of which I got a side for myself, too, was absolutely disgusting. At first I thought the bacon had been cooked possibly on a dirty grill in old grease or right after something else had been cooked, as it had a horrendous aftertaste like rotten meat and sweaty gym socks. They made a new plate but this one was raw, despite being ordered well done and crispy. Raw. And it absolutely stunk. That was when I came to think it might be uncured pork belly like you get a Korean KBBQ and not bacon at all. Luckily they cancelled the order. I also got a side of the breakfast (rosemary) potatoes, which I also ordered crispy and well done but arrived as a scoop of mush. They tasted okay but I saw crispy potatoes at numerous other tables. Don't know why they couldn't cook as ordered. I also had the dutch baby. I'm sorry but this is a dessert bread pudding and not a real dutch baby pancake. The inside should be airy and fluffy, not sopping wet. I'm not sure if the inside was undercooked and possibly raw dough or if they make it with some sweetened cream inside. It was not good, and it was way too sweet. Instant diabetes sweet. I will never go back. I strongly recommend that all people stay as far away as possible. The service was good - friendly and attentive, but what good is that when the food is so awful? I also had severe stabbing pains in my stomach for a couple hours after getting home. Avoid at all costs!

It's located where the old Sizzler used to be (RIP to the cheese bread ). We went on a Sunday around 12:30. It was pretty quiet, but since they close at 2, that made sense. Service was prompt and friendly, and once we ordered, our food came out quickly. The menu is smaller and definitely diner-style. The food itself was just okay -- nothing bad, but nothing standout either. Basic eggs and hash browns. The corned beef hash was clearly from a can, which didn't bother me. The biscuits were a little hard and cold, but the gravy was actually pretty good. Now for the pricing -- $5 for an iced tea and around $7 for orange juice feels a little wild. Our total was $89 before tip for 4 adults and 2 kids (the kids shared one pancake, which was a good size). Overall, it was a decent experience. A bit pricey for what you get, but solid enough. We'd probably go back if we were in the area again -- next time we'd try the lunch menu instead. 4 solid stars.

As my family and I are seating my 4 year old hopped on the booth and was moving to his spot when the booth collapsed in and my son fell in between the wood and floor. He instantly started crying the ONLY EMPLOYEE that came to check on us was Litzy who wasn't even our server she just happened to be near by and helped move us to another booth, and said that she was going to let the manager aware of what happened and that the manager would be checking on us. We move to our booth and our server comes to assist us at our new booth acting like nothing happened. We were upset and debating if we should leave but our kids were hungry so we continued to order hoping the experience would get better and waiting for the manager. The manager never came, we saw a woman Asian employee who looked like the manager & asked her if she was the manager she said kind of not really but asked if there was something she could help with. We just told her nothing we were waiting for the manager. Still no one came. The food was awful flies all inside the building. My husband took our 4 year old to the restroom and immediately said EWW. Restrooms disgusting. We got the check and our server told us she only charged us for the adult plates and not the kids plates bc of what happened with our son falling. Her first time acknowledging what happened to my son, not once did she ask if he was okay or needed anything. My husband complained to Litzy who was processing our payment about our experience at their establishment. She apologized deeply for our experience (EVEN THOUGH IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HER) and was the only employee to show concern over our son getting hurt shoutout Litzy the only employee with a heart and good customer service. Families stay away from here all booths are wobbly and not secure, the spot is filthy. If something happens the staff is going to keep acting like they saw nothing. Better off going to McDonald's.
