Surprisingly loved this location. It is smaller than the one in Woodbridge, but less overstimulating. I loved the stock rooms and got a lot of ideas for my home. There's plenty of selections, with good values too. Some fruits had bite marks in them... hahah I love playing house in IKEA. read more

Look, I'm a big IKEA fan and have been shopping at IKEA for decades. But the Chantilly IKEA is an unmitigated disaster. The first omen for our visit was noticing that unlike other IKEAs there's not a big blue and yellow IKEA sign rising above the store. And too, this IKEA's exterior is not painted blue like other IKEAs. This IKEA inherited the old Expo Center. I previously had been to cat and home improvement shows in this building. IKEA skimped horribly on repurposing this property. For example, in the men's room, light fixture covers were broken, and the latches and coat hooks in the stalls were broken off. Mind you, this IKEA has only been in business a few weeks. The aisles are zig-zaggy and narrow. The flow through the store is terrible. It just cannot handle the hordes of shoppers. And then even though check-out lines are long, they keep some of the self-check stations closed. Lastly, because this IKEA is small, inventory is limited. Aside from this location's shortcomings, though I love IKEA's fun designs and colors, product quality has declined over the years. Examples include floor lamps, beds and cutting boards. Some have referred to IKEA as a particle board emporium. We were so disappointed that we cut our visit short and headed to the IKEA in Woodbridge, which is a palace in comparison. Realistically, if IKEA wants a worthy presence in Fairfax County, it needs to abandon this property and build from scratch elsewhere. read more

Newly opened to Chantilly-- so excited that theres a closer IKEA now. Their furniture selection goes far and wide; from indoor candles to outdoor patio furniture. Food trays or even kid canopy beds. Value is as good as it gets; we got 4 candles for about $10. (highly suggest the fresh linen smell). The service was great- My fiance and I ordered food here; at first they forgot our order but when I asked them about it, they apologized and made it right away. I ordered ice cream with my food and the worker offered me to get it at the end of my meal rather than letting it melt. -- You can get a platter of 12 meatballs, served with peas, mash potatoes and cranberry jam for $10 --hotdog $1 --4pc meatball $1.50 --icecream $1.75 --mac n cheese entree $3.99 (i would skip --fountain soda $2 read more

Came on a Friday during lunch (granted, it's 4th of July weekend) and the dining area was pretty crowded. It took about 1 hour for us to get our food. It was also pretty difficult to get seating given it was peak lunch time. I heard it's pretty bad on the weekends. We got the 12 piece meatballs, mac and cheese and lingonberry soda. Overall everything tastes great and is consistent with all other IKEAs we've been to! Will come again when the crowds die down! read more

Very excited to have a closer IKEA but this could be dangerous to our wallets. My friend and I went to the grand opening and I won the raffle and got a bucket hat, was one of the first 100 people in line so got a $40 gift card, and played planko in store and got a medium reusable bag. Due to it being the first day, the cafe was pretty backed up (took around 35 minutes for our food). When we were ordering, they were also out of the meatballs so I went with the plant based option, froyo cup (which tasted more like their soft serve), and fountain drink. Overall, employees were friendly & attentive and glad to have a closer IKEA read more

Came on grand opening day 6/18/26! Unfortunately missed some of the giveaways which were at 8am but huge turnout for a Thursday. But at least was able to snag a free bag from their freebie table. They also had Mouse chocolate, cookies, and flower pots. Finally a full sized IKEA in Fairfax county. They have a food court and everything. Plenty of self service stations and cashiers. Can still be a little overwelming to navigate but there are arrows on the pathway towards the checkouts and several shortcuts to the checkout areas within various sections. One small gripe is their food court menu tvs aren't stagnant. read more

So glad this new location is here, much closer to us! While this location is not as large, we felt it still showcased ideas and we were able to get what we needed. I think they have less things in stock here so we have to pick it up in a few days. Worth it to not have to drive 30 extra minutes! The staff was very friendly. We had help while ordering a pax unit with shelves. The food area is much smaller than most but wasn't as crowded so it was perfect to grab an ice cream cone. We like pax units and think they are a great value... not quite custom units but they are nice looking storage at a fair price. read more

Nice, small-sized store Interesting / that it is tucked behind Walmart The Swedish meatballs ARE great; the watered-down ligonberry juice, not so much No one wants to drive to Woodbridge (from Chantilly) to shop Ikea; this is a good option read more

IKEA - food at Ikea - Home Decor Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

Welcome to Chantilly, IKEA! There was a soft opening recently, and we were able to checkout the space - as other IKEAS, they had everything from storage and organization, furniture, rugs & home textiles, kitchen & appliances, kitchenware, etc.! Everything was well-organized, clearly labeled, and the 'pathways' were clear and allowed you move through easily. Staff were readily available on site to direct you to certain sections of specific items you were looking for. The lines were long, but the staff were moving us along efficiently. As this is in the old Dulles Expo space, there's ample parking. read more

I had a very disappointing experience at IKEA today. I ordered the Swedish meatballs, and while eating, I found what appeared to be a bug in my food. I immediately stopped eating and took a photo. I reported the issue to the staff. While they eventually refunded my meal, the refund process was more difficult and time-consuming than it should have been. I expected a quicker response and more concern for a serious food safety issue. I hope IKEA reviews its food preparation and quality control procedures to ensure this doesn't happen to other customers. Food safety should always be a top priority. read more

IKEA - Home Decor Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

This place has some of the worst customer service I've experienced. Customers were standing in line waiting to return or exchange furniture, while the manager and several employees were chatting instead of helping. Some employees were even on their phones rather than assisting customers. The service was extremely slow, unprofessional, and it seemed like the staff simply didn't care about the customers waiting. I also felt that some customers were treated differently, which left me with the impression of unfair or discriminatory behavior. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. I would not recommend shopping here if you expect respectful and efficient customer service. read more

Can't beat the price. The hot dog, sweedish meat balls, and marinated salmon was decent for the price. Thot dog was dry. However, the meatballs and the salmon were my favorite and for me, it did feel more fresh than the other times I have gone. Overall, service was friendly, food did take about 20 minutes but it just opened so expected for a lot of people. Would recommend read more

They couldn't accept cash for an ice cream cone because the only register they had was broke. Then I would have had to get a gift card for a 1.75 cone. read more

This location is more like a "Diet IKEA"; meaning while it has a show room, marketplace & cafe; it lacks a large warehouse like a full sized location (like Potomac Mills). All that said, Im still glad there is another location in DMV. Would love to see them expand the building and add the warehouse for products one day. Plenty of space in its massive oversized parking lot. But for what it is, it's still great to have. read more

PURE CHAOS. There is only 1 assisted check out line and everything else is self checkout. Parking was about the same as you'd get at Costco so not that big of a deal. My issue was the sheer amount of people in a small IKEA. I've got no idea what the rules are but holy cow this is a fire hazard waiting to happen. Now before you come at me about the people... the isles are very small and with the volume of customers to be in Chantilly this was just a poorly laid out store. If you really need something might as well come here but most things are out of stock or on display and then you have to order it online in store. Probably won't be coming to this one again and will just make the drive to Maryland or Woodbridge. read more

Worst IKEA I've ever been to. Trip was like a nightmare. From the 45min wait for food at the cafeteria, to having to eat with our trays on the store shelves because they have about 10% of the seating that they need, to the miserable mass of people (none of whom looked happy to be there) shuffling through the store, bumping into each other, to the narrow walkways, to the kids running around messing up the displays, to the super unhelpful "item found on showroom floor" but nowhere to be found despite claims of being in stock, to the point where you realize that the store itself is half the size or less than most Ikea's, and finally the long long line to the register. Don't forget the parking lot with its tight spaces! You'd have to pay me quite a bit to come back. If I want to go to an IKEA, I'd rather drive to Maryland or Wood bridge locations read more

good, but not full selection of items. therefore, it is better to go to potomac yards. read more
