Cloudy with a chance of meatballs! We visited IKEA on a dreary day, in time for Thursday's 50% off main dish special. We found all types of meatballs. There were the plates of regular Swedish meatballs ($4.50), plant balls or falafel balls ($4), chicken balls or cod balls ($5) plus salmon fillet ($6). Incredibly affordable. Tikka masala with chicken balls was reminiscent of butter chicken although some rice was dry. Cod balls were served with tartar sauce and fries akin to fish n' chips. Then the Swedish meatballs with peas, mash potatoes and lingonberry jam just works in a sweet savoury mix. This meal didn't have to blow our mind, as we could have 3 plates for the price of one elsewhere! This IKEA location is generally a pleasant spot for a visit whether it be to find home furnitures, handy household items or food. It's a standard huge location with aboveground parking, and is situated off of Hwy 7 and Hwy 400. It's generally well-stocked and is packed throughout the day. The selection is still great for everything from kitchenware to lighting to beddings. It's nice to see that IKEA has maintained a budget-friendly selection including items under $5 for folks riding through a tough economic period. Skip it or hit it? Just realized how many people are hitting IKEA for a good meal. read more

I was provided with a service appointment date of June 3, with an expected arrival window between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. for a Taskrabbit assembler named Abby to complete the assembly of my IKEA furniture. When Abby did not arrive within the scheduled timeframe, I contacted him directly and was given information that conflicted with the appointment details I had received. I then contacted IKEA, through whom the assembly service had been arranged. After navigating multiple automated prompts and speaking with customer service representatives, the assembly was rescheduled for the same day at 3:00 p.m. Unfortunately, 3:00 p.m. came and went without Abby arriving. At approximately 3:30 p.m., attempts to contact him were unsuccessful, as he did not answer his phone. Despite spending the better part of an entire day communicating with IKEA's chatbot, AI support systems, several customer service representatives, Taskrabbit, and the assigned assembler, the task that had been paid for was never completed. While the IKEA customer service representatives I spoke with were courteous and genuinely tried to assist, neither IKEA, Taskrabbit, nor the assigned Tasker were ultimately able to resolve the issue or fulfill the service commitment. To date, I have never received a follow-up explanation from Abby regarding the missed appointment. As a result of this experience, I cannot recommend either IKEA's assembly service or Taskrabbit unless customers are confident they can assemble the furniture themselves or have an alternative arrangement in place. When problems arise, there appears to be a lack of accountability and communication, leaving customers without answers and wasting valuable time. This experience was extremely disappointing and has significantly impacted my confidence in both companies. Going forward, I will be taking my business to other flat-pack furniture retailers and would not recommend Taskrabbit based on my experience. read more

I love Ikea, so this location is no different! This isn't my usual Ikea location that I go to, but decided to check them out during their Hej sale that happens about 1-2 times a week. I came in knowing exactly what I wanted but always still browse their entire showroom for inspo and marketplace in case I needed anything I couldn't think of prior. I went to their cafe first to grab something to eat first and it never disappoints. My go to order is always their meatballs with a side of fries. Meatballs are juicy with their cran sauce, and fries are always crisp. Their showrooms are always nice and clean with inspiration spilling in every corner. Ikeas are always busy, so this one was no exception either, especially during their Hej sale. The line to check out was beyond long, but overall I still love Ikea, regardless of the location. read more

I was on my home from out of town and dropped by Ikea for a washroom break... but then the next thing I know, I ended up spending another $70 on items at Ikea plus a meal. They got me! They have some new items on the menu like their plant ball nachos, pear sparkling water and cod balls. I tried to ordered the cod balls but they were out of stock. The plant balls are surprisingly good and comparable to the classic meat option. I don't know if I'll choose to have it on the nachos again. One thing I do recommend is the chicken vegetable soup, which is hearty and loaded with vegetables. It's boxing day week sale with a few warehouse deals that are cheaper than what's posted online, especially for Christmas decor. read more

I mean, it's an Ikea. Come for their Thursday specials where you can get half price on the entrees. I always get the swedish meatballs and they're spot on everytime. Great cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and some peas. I've tried the fish and chips before and I'm not too big of a fan so I'd probably skip that. read more

I have a love and hate relationship with IKEA. It's cheap and easy to come pick up a few things without spending a fortune, but it's always crowded and the quality of their bedding has been seriously going downhill. This time around, we happe Ed to be shopping around lunch time and not wanting to leave for food and coming back to shop, we decided to eat at the cafeteria. I have had mostly positive experience dining in their cafeterias, but this time, the quality and quantity of the food was very poor. My salmon was a sloppy mess on a plate full of sad looking food items, my daughter's meatballs also suffered the similar fate of haphazardly being thrown onto a disposable plate. Everything was mixed together into an unappealing mess and it was just unappetizing. My husband's fish and chips were the only decent looking thing at our table. I don't come here looking for a gourmet meal, but as you can plainly see in the attached pictures, they could have tried a little harder. I will likely continue shopping at ikea for certain things, but I will be avoiding their food court. read more

I LOVE coming here for the food! 90% of the time I am only here for the food! They really found such an impactful and meaningful way to incorporate the theme of "family" into the shopping experience. IKEA FAMILY Members get free coffee/tea Food price is fair Food is always fresh and does not leave you feeling like garbage after eating it. read more

If you go to IKEA, you typically go for the furniture but always make a detour to the food. While not exactly a gourmet meal, IKEA's food court hits the sweet spot between price and quality. Like you would expect, the star if the show was the Swedish Meatballs. perfectly seasoned and served with creamy gravy, lingonberry sauce and mashed potatoes, they were comforting. Beyond the meatballs, the Fish and Chips were surprisingly decent - the fish was crispy but the fries could have used some of that crispness. The line was long but service fast - it moved quickly and we were in and out of the line within 10 minutes. Considering the number of people, this was quick. Overall, a comforting and satisfying meal that won't break the bank. read more

It's easily accessible through Highway 400 and Highway 7. The showroom is well-organized and the restaurant area is clean and well-maintained. It offers good budget-friendly furniture and decoration items, and they have improved their exchange/refund and price adjustment policies which is a plus now. The restaurant offers budget-friendly food options for breakfast, lunch or dinner. And you can have a full meal before/after your purchase. Their ice creams are a must-try after shopping. They have new vegan strawberry ice cream, too. read more

Visited this Ikea with my gf during Victoria Day weekend as all the other Ikea's in the GTA were closed. In terms of layout, it's very similar to the OG location on Provost off Sheppard in North York. The parking lot is huge. Lots of condo and townhouse development happening still at the moment. One of my friends actually lives across from it. The cafeteria is just as big and brightly lit as the North York one (dare I say, even bigger). There were some new food items that they were serving that I had never seen before like mac n' cheese. Had to grab ourselves some meatballs (staple grab every time you visit) w/ gravy and lingonberry jam. Delicious. The mac n' cheese, I thought had good flavour but the noodles were definitely overcooked a bit and edging on soggy. I was contemplating trying the creamy mushroom soup cuz it smelled so good but I ultimately decided against because it was close to dinner time. It seemed like the tomato soup was very popular as the pot was completely empty! My gf and I did some shopping and had ourselves a nice chill date. Rounded off the visit with a cup of frozen yogurt. Yummy. read more

We had a Blast!! I've been to this Ikea location many times over the years. What I like about Ikea, in general, is that they had a great selection of low, mid and high-range items that suit almost anyone's budget. This review is about our first Post-Pandemic visit around Easter/Passover earlier this year. I have been back to Ikea since but this visit was the most we have had at the location. We were there around Easter/Passover and looking for an extra storage bin for the kid's playroom as they still had tonnes of Holiday gifts that we had no place to store them. When we got there we were informed that there was what is best described as a "treat hunt'. There were many locations around the store marked with rabbit footprints and the idea was to find all the locations and take a picture of the stuffed rabbits on display to confirm you found the location. This adventure took us all over the store so we got to see so many things that I wouldn't be normally looking for and it was a great way to see newer offerings at the store. My Daughter who will be a teenager in a few years has already picked out her next bedroom set. We also got to see the living room, dining room, kitchen items and many storage items for kids. The staff was amazing and they helped my kids find some of the locations as this IKEA like many others is a massive place and we did find ourselves at times going in circles. We managed to find all of the 'Treat Hunt' locations and both of my kids received an Ikea Chocolate bar for their efforts. After all that running around, we needed some grub, so we headed to the IKEA cafe located on the second floor. The menu at Ikea is simple, to make your choices easy, and now they have vegetarian and Vegan options. I'm a Foodie and as a Foodie we like to explore different types of food, and tend to like Animal Protein but also enjoy plant-based and vegetarian cuisines as well. On this visit, we got meatballs and Vegan meatballs. The kids got the Ikea kids meal which comes with your choice of protein, a side, apple slices and a drink. I got the Vegan Meatballs for myself which were actually, very good. We finally go the 'Trofast' Storage unit we were looking for, however, they were out of the bin colours we were looking for and had to settle for what was available. After a three-hour visit, I was not going to go home empty-handed. We had a blast during this visit and we will be back for more fun and meatballs. read more

IKEA is one of my favourite place to go. As soon as I enter there, I am in my happy zone. IKEA is just amazing for shopping stuff for home, whether it's furniture, lighting, decor stuff or kitchen utensil. You can find stuff here for each price range. Sometimes I just go here for a walk and to eat lunch. I can sit in the cafeteria for hours and relax. I love their meatballs and fish n chips. The new vegetarian hotdog is also good. You can never say no to their ice cream. It's so well organized, spotless and beautifully decorated. Sometimes you don't even need anyone's help. You can select and pick you stuff and just pay at self pay counter. Even if you need assistance, the staff is always friendly and happy to help. Thanks IKEA for making our lives better. read more

Why did I stay away for so long? I came by because I wanted to get a small, black TV stand that my friend had bought from here. There's everything you need for your home and office. There's imported goods from Europe, a cafeteria and a kiddy area to entertain the little ones. Even if you aren't going to buy anything, you can get tons of decorating ideas from the different room set ups in each department. It's a fun way to get a good workout; the store is huge! You can even have a nice meal as you take a break from shopping. read more

Good Ikea location, a little hard to get into the parking area/lot though because of how busy it can get. But love it anyways. They have a great kitchen here and a nice amount of products available on display. Their stock levels are alright... Probably best to check the website before coming to pick something up. read more

IKEA is great. I'm just going to tell you stuff you already know but that's cool. Try to go on off hours (ie not the weekend) so it's not as crazy busy, make sure you visit their food court area if you are hungry, and skip past the show room area if you are on a mission. My fave things to do at IKEA are get an ice cream, browse the AS IS section, and wander around the show room - tons o' fun! See you soon IKEA!! read more

Needed some dishes and other household stuff from Ikea so why not get their famous buck breakfast? Well...not anymore. They added a couple slices of tomatoes and a slice of bread and jacked the price to $3 - I think. If you want to get bacon, you can, but you lose the potatoes too - $2.50. The prices might be the other way around. Nonetheless, what just happened? I guess the $1 loss leader wasn't worth it anymore. I'm ok with that but why add a useless piece of starchy white bread and a couple slices of really bad tomatoes? I guess the breakfast and shop is over at IKEA for me. Ugh! read more

Ordered Book Cabinets but had some missing items. I contacted IKEA requesting the missing products but they told me I missed the "missing Item 7-day policy".

Now I'm out $600.00 and not a damn thing I can do. IKEA, what a joke! read more

IKEA is one of my favourite places. Every room is so well decorated and I love going there to just relax and look at all their interior decor. All my furniture are from IKEA as I love to build and DIY my stuff. All the employees that work there are very nice and attentive when you ask for help. I mainly go for the food, everything is reasonably price and delicious. You can get yummy fish & chips for 7.99 and their famous Swedish meatballs for 6.99. Their froyo ice cream is so good and only $1. They recently added pizza to their menu. It's always so fun to go through IKEA even if you're not buying anything. They really do capture the customers to stay longer with how they layout their whole store. read more

Many establishments claim that their customers always come first (including some strip joints!) but I feel that IKEA is one of the few places that actually live up to that. I am a frequent visitor here. I usually come here for lunch then quickly browse the store for interesting products. Since Yelp is mainly a website for foodies like me. I'm going to start off with their diner. They got their $1 breakfast, meatballs, Chicken, Haddock and chips, and Salmon. Not to mention the variety of sweets they have. Food is served on proper china plates, mugs, glasses, and silverware like a proper diner. If you are a fan of fast food then they got hot dogs and yoghurt ice cream cones downstairs. They even have pre-packaged foods too. Surprisingly their food quality is great and is actually better tasting than many restaurants out there. Prices are low and portions are generous. Now to the store. Its clean and tidy but its so huge you might lose each others if you are coming in a group! Employees have great manners and are clearly trained well. Plenty of parking space. Free WiFi is always a plus in my book. Furnitures might not be the fanciest but they have the variety to please all tastes. They do require some assembly but its nothing complicated as it comes with instruction manual and pretty much everything you need is in the box. Think of it as a life sized LEGO set. Overall IKEA has the best customer service I have seen so far. Great food. A store with a variety of items. and well mannered people. Going on a vacation to Sweden is on my bucket list mainly because of IKEA! read more

Had a very stressful week at work and the moment I had a little down time, what did I want to do? Go to Ikea of course!!!!!! Not even joking, I literally perked up and I was so happy to go. This is my favorite IKEA over the North York one and I've been here many times, sometimes 3 days in a row. To get here, you're literally going down highway 7 and it's super easy to get to. It's so simple I've never had any driving anxiety going there (compared to the North York one which is quite hectic and parking is sort of crazy too). This location is perfect as it is situated in sort of the middle of no where which gives them lots of parking and you usually get your choice spot. This IKEA has mastered the retail experience for me. They know. It's psychology. Even though I don't want to buy any furniture at all, we still go through the whole first floor to look at the awesome set ups they have. It's always enticing and a beauty. Getting a little peckish from walking? When you finish the floor, head over to the cafe for cheap eats with a variety of dishes. Not that hungry? Head downstairs for 2 hot dogs and a drink for $2. The Market Hall is my favorite area as there's just so much stuff that I shouldn't buy but pick up anyway. It's dangerous for a hoarder. While employees are sort of hard to find, the logic and branding behind the company makes it clear on why they do the things they do and I 100% stand behind it. I will always go to this IKEA and continue to buy crap I don't need. I LOVE IKEA!!!! read more

This is a better IKEA in my opinion. It is usually less packed with more parking which makes your visit more pleasant. Also it is easy to find assistance when you need to. The staff was knowledgeable about different curtain options when we asked about it. I still appreciated their help even though I did not end up purchasing them at IKEA. Nothing to speak about their restaurant as I am not a fan but definitely give their ice cream or hot dog a try - you got nothing to lose with one dollar lol If you drive on Jane St from south watch out as you are not supposed to turn left onto Interchange Way as the left turn lanes are only for buses as I recall (?) It definitely threw some drivers off read more

I can't complain... the cheapest three course dinner you can get! Starter: Gravlax and side salad, $5.99 Main: Butter chicken with rice and naan, $8.99 Dessert: Daim Chocolate Almond Cake, $2.99 I have to say I probably enjoy Ikea meals more than most people My favourite moment was when I had a can of Tempt 9 which I brought into the store whilst my friends shopped and while paying for the foods the cashier smiled and asked if my drink was good . Funny guy. I love walking through Ikea and looking at their style and design. I do wish they would display more Nordic design and simplicity or inspirations--minimalist kind of designs. read more

I love Ikea! I love their affordable snacks ...hot dogs, and drinks and soft served ice cream! Nothing to complain about for the price...plus it's not bad at all! How can hot dog go wrong anyway? When you go to their sit in diner, there are also good deals. They have daily specials...which is really worth it for the price and the quantity. On Mondays, the meatballs are $3. 99 after 4pm! They have $1 breakfast until 11a.m on the daily! They also have salmon on Wednesdays for half its regular price (if I can recall). Amazing amazing deals! The plus side is, it's actually good! The meatballs are amazing...the sauce is good. Love the gravy and the cranberry sauce! I also dropped by their little store and it's so nice to see that the feeling is becoming more and more Nordic. They have Daim now and their also have dried onions and mustard (good to buy for your hotdogs as toppings). After eating, you will never get bored walking around! There's always something interesting finds at valuable prices! read more

And I thought I was the only one who felt like a rat in a maze?! it's nice for parents with little ones because there's a supervised play area inside and a playground outside (south west corner) for parents with little ones that need to expel some energy. They are all clean stores and they are super thoughtful, take it from a mom with a baby..when you walk in a store and they have parking for you AT the entrance, an elevator for your stoller, a bathroom and free diapers..you appreciate them more!

Funny how a company would brag about weak customer service. I mean it: there is a poster on the wall touting "That's why" and explaining how they keep their prices low by methods like not having much staff, and self assembly and self delivery. Sure, I admit the pricing is quite good for the level of style and creativity involved, but I'm not sure I like the changes. For example, I picked up a Galant cabinet for my office. Or I tried to. I went to a computer terminal and found what I wanted and wrote down the number. Then I began the search to find out where to get it. I finally captured an elusive staff member who directed me to a counter in the warehouse area. The counter was unstaffed--for a long time--a very long time. Finally, I captured the attention of another staffer who went to get someone to staff the counter. Surprise! It was the individual who directed me to the counter originally! Nice trick. He printed out the order sheet and I paid at the checkout and was directed to the pickup counter. I waited at the pickup counter. And waited. About 45 minutes later, I had my 3 flat cartons and was on my way out the door. There were few customers at the time to slow me down, so I should have been in and out in under 15 minutes instead of an hour and 15 minutes. Here is the kicker: I get home and assemble the cabinet (another "why Ikea" reason for lower prices) and discover the camlock hardware they use is not longer metal--now it is plastic! Really? I pulled out the carpenter's glue to ensure it stays together. My glue--not theirs, yielding another saving for them. "That's why"... read more

Pleased as I was to finally try the Swedish meatballs available at IKEA restaurant, I was let down when my meatball count came up a little short I went for the upgraded 15 meatball meal with mashed potatoes and gravy. My official meatball count came up to 13. I was quite upset; nay, dismayed. It seems the gentleman serving me the meatballs at the counter was not on top of his game, mathematically. The meatballs them selves are quite delectable; the mashed potatoes good-even the cranberry sauce comes out alright. This experience has not tainted my feelings toward shopping at IKEA. I am a regular customer and will be back again for a SKÖL or a GLIBGLIB or both. read more
