    Review #952 2026-016 Food Order: Cinnamon Bun $1.00 Hot Dog Combo (2 hot dogs, fountain drink) $2.50 Non-Fat Frozen Vanilla Yogurt $1.00 Non-Fat Frozen Vanilla Yogurt Sundae $1.50 Swedish Meatballs Plate $5.00 Snacks Order: Vintersaga Collection (2 Gingerbread Trees, Assorted Pralines, Ginger Thins Cookies, Milk Chocolate with Gingerbread Crumbs); TooGoodToGo Surprise Bag: $5.99 ($29.00) Tip: Join the IKEA Family card; their loyalty membership that gives exclusive product discounts, special offers in the restaurant/cafe, free coffee/tea on weekdays, extended return policies (90 days or even 365 days in some regions), Småland playtime extension (if available), workshop invites, & other perks. I think my first IKEA visit was to the Burbank location in the late 1990s; that location has since relocated to a larger space in 02/2017. When I first moved out to the South Bay, I needed some furniture for our apartment & went to IKEA to pick-up some pieces. The Scandinavian store is known for their RTA (ready-to-assemble) furniture, affordable household goods, & Swedish meatballs for the cost-conscious or those with a tight budget. I believe they pioneered the flat-pack concept to minimize transportation costs, thus making their customers assemble the products themselves. They used to publish an annual catalog, primary marketing tool, that several hundred pages thick; the final print cease during the pandemic in 2020. The Carson location is a 3-level large warehouse with a labyrinth-like layout (feels like those mouse maze contraptions with a cheese prize at the end... LOL) that's starts with home living: living room, kitchen, dining, bedroom (3rd) to fixtures/accessories: home organization, bathroom, cookware & tableware, lighting, children's IKEA (2nd), & finally decor: home decor, rugs & flooring, faux & real plants, with Swedish bistro/food market (1st). The "As-Is" section is on the left before the check-outs with select items up to 80%; they're deeply discounted, often showroom displays, gently used, or discontinued, so inspection is crucial before purchase. As-Is are generally final sale & excluded from their standard return policy. Currently, the bistro is closed for remodel (pending inspection to open), & temporarily located in the 2nd floor. My oldest piece is a work desk that's 25 years old. Other furniture purchased: queen bed with storage, twin bunk bed, 5-piece dinner table with chairs, 2 2-drawer rolling storage carts, 3 drawer dresser (doubled as a baby changing table by adding a changing mat), children's table set with 2 chairs; accessories: 2 gaming chairs, child swivel chair, floor lamp, storage bins & containers, rugs, door mat, mugs, drawer/shelf liners, etc. I have yet to schedule delivery on our purchase because our purchases either fit in our car or we borrowed a friend's truck for the larger pieces like our L-shaped couch. Customer service is great when staff is around; they're friendly, helpful, & mostly knowledgeable (had some issues with a kitchen order & he didn't understand what we needed for our remodel). Sometimes after shopping, we would stop by the bistro for a treat or lunch. I love the Swedish meatballs plate with green beans, mashed potatoes, & lingonberries! It's good food & priced affordably... I liken their bistro to Costco Food Court. I missed those olden days with a free cone for your Yelp check-in. I was surprised that TooGoodToGo had an IKEA surprise bag. I had trouble finding the "main" pick-up counter, & was directed to the furniture pick-up by the cashier; the attendant was kind enough to escort me to counter (took a pic for TGTG patrons). I actually missed it because it was unmanned when I walked in. I wasn't able to find the Vintersaga snack prices in USD since these are seasonal goodies; found their €uro value: €24.97 (~$29). I paid $5.99 for a TGTG estimated value of $18.00, but received $29.00 worth of goodies. Yasss! I love these warm spiced cookies for the kids' snack & great for dipping in milk. The milk chocolate bar was tasty with cookie crumbs, but the gingerbread taste is mild. The pralines are a buttery & sweet chocolate with nutty, earthy hazelnut notes. If you're in need of furniture & handy with tools for DIY projects, IKEA is the place for you. And hungry after 3 floors of maze? Drop in the bistro for some eats & treats.

    So for starters if you've never been here expect to be here a while. You'll start off on the top floor if you go about it the way I did and you'll walk your way down two floors walking through all the sections looking at things you weren't planning to buy when you got there But you'll probably end up getting one of the bags or one of the carts even if you didn't think you were going to. It's been over 10 years plus since I've been inside and I have to say I totally would get how somebody would constantly come back to look at what the new offerings are and see them a sample room in order to envision it for themselves. I like we're gonna leave you alone policy that the staff employees and let us know if you need help mentality which is my ideal way to buy stuff. Pencils and pieces of paper all over the place along with kiosks for you to look up items etcetera Great little idea A lot more stores should employ this concept. Once you make your way through sometimes you might get lost along the way but it is what it is when it comes to that. Went through self checkout but there are several staff members there in case you get stuck or you need help or to stop those from stealing. Plus you land in food court area Where you can try different types of carbonated beverages if you like plus they had some good deals on meals for the day that showed up in the kiosks and large signage throughout the store. There is food on the bottom floor as you're leaving similar to like a little grocery store in addition to tables where you can sit down and eat your meal that you might have bought like Swedish meatballs. Ran into somebody else and they told me the one in the valley is a little bigger and as it was you need a pit stop along the way in this one to take a break and catch a breath There should be food stations on different floors so you can take a snack like running a marathon. All in all decent pricing and of course the unique design and naming conventions for the products they sell is interesting.

    Great selection. Good value. Very helpful employees. Awesome air conditioning for how hot it's been lately!

    What a weird location. Nothing seemed to be in stock. The café was closed and the place was pretty much empty as far as customers. It was the most dismal IKEA I've ever been to. Didn't have anything I was looking for and not a staff member in site except for at checkout. Even their escalators were out of commission. Having just moved to Culver Burbank is a bit too far but it looks like I'll be making that truck regardless.

    Great second experience here! We found birds of paradise plant we liked off the bat in the very beginning of our walk through ikea. We flagged that we liked it and planned to look for it later on in the plant section. Turns out it was sold out and this super nice worker helped us. He walked all the way across the store to find it with us and then offered us an excellent price for it. We also got floor mat. They've got a whole section for "as is" items apparently where you buy items as is, so they're either damaged or display models. There they ended up giving us an additional 35% off unbeknownst to us and when we checked out the plant went from $40 to $13! Yaaay!

    As of May 1, 2025, this IKEA location in has finally stepped up its bistro game. Bringing in 3 types of chocolate cake slices and the rainbow cake slice that you'd find at other IKEAs as well as the pasta with meatballs. No real entrees other than the meatballs but that's alright. And everything is a served in paper boxes, some plastic clamshells, and bamboo cutlery. They've been making efforts for sure towards sustainability. Hope these extra treat items stay for the long term and that Smaland reopens soon.

    Ikea has so many cute things & good ideas. Their displays are done very well & gives me ideas, as I am building a small ADU. I like how they have things organized & clearly priced. Their products seem to be of better quality than before. I'm glad they are conveniently located & have plenty of parking as well. Their snacks & food is pretty decent too. I usually get soft cone as I leave but this time, u refrained myself. Good place to walk around to get inspired to tidy up & decorate your own place.

    The good: I love their kitchen section with cups and bowls. You could get a mug for 79 cents and a set of 3 pots for $10. It's so affordable and great for dorms or apartment folks who have limited space and budget. They had Christmas items on sale when I came today. Their frames and photo section is great and super adorable compared to similar items you could get elsewhere. My toddlers have fun playing in the kitchens in the display areas. I'd consider this a great date night location. The bad: This IKEA doesn't have a food court. They sell food downstairs by the check-out area but they don't have a dine-in cafeteria like others do. Their daycare area has been closed on all 3 of my visits. The interesting: The market hall is divided into 2 rather than 1 floor. The entrance into the show room requires going up two flights of outdoor escalators.

    Ridiculously small cup for water. Do better IKEA!

    When is the best time to go to Ikea? Because I went this past Sunday around noon time and there was a really long line. Is there a line at opening time?

    On weekends get there about 20 minutes before opening as the line grows fast after they open the doors

    Does anyone know if they put out the Christmas 2020 stuff yet?

    No, not yet

    Is there a long line at the Carson location as well?

    I went at 11am on Saturday and it took 35 min to get in. The line seems long but it goes fast.

    Is the bedroom/closet area (Pax closets) showroom open?I went to the Costa Mesa location yesterday and they were closed because they are remodeling , therefore no one is allowed in that section.

    Pax area is open. There is caution tape due to the remodel in some area but you can walk I to the department and a staff member greets you.

    It's 06/21/2020, is the store open now?

    Yes, they are! They are enforcing social distancing, though, so a mask is required & a limited amount of people are allowed, so the lines can be very long (I waited 55 min). Also, the showrooms are roped off. They are unusually low on product.

    Is Ikea in-store shopping still close?

    No it is now open with limited hours and guest

    Are u open now?

    Yes they are, but you must be patient because you have to make long lines

    Is this location finally open to come in? Don't want to pay for shipping when I live 10 minutes away.

    Currently open for business please check hours

    Hi, i just order a dresser in gray, is there any chance I could switch color in black?

    Yes, receipt must be brought in. No receipt transactions are being handled at the time

    Anyone know if they're open for curve side pick up?

    Yes, curve side is available also known as click and collect

    Is this Ikea (Carson, CA) Open for Store Pick Up?

    No they are not. I was going to order some thing but it was directing me to South Coast and San Diego.

    Is IKEA in Carson open for pick up how can I do that?

    It's is no longer doing in store pick up. They will ship items out to you for a cost. I ordered a bookshelf; they charged 50 bucks to ship it. The bookself was 100 bucks. I canceled the order. I hope this helps.

    Play area for kids?

    Yes they do. Located on the bottom floor near the elevator.

    How many meatball are you supposed to get?

    500

    One of my pieces to my king size bed frame broke i wonder if they can order pieces or is it a total lost?

    Can I bring my dog to this ikea?

    Sorry but you can't .. we brought our dog once and we were told that bc they have the food section we couldn't .you might want to check if your dog is a service animal.

    Does this IKEA location offer replacement parts? I tried to call 3 times to see if I can purchase some screws for the Hemnes drawer, but there was no answer. Now it appears that the number to call them is shut down for the day. It's only 4:45 pm.

    If you go to the returns/exchanges you will see bins by the wall w/ free screws, connectors and other spare parts you might need. Free of charge. If you can't find what you're looking for grab a number & when you get called you let them know what…
