Huge cafeteria style restaurant in upper level of store. Not a huge menu but certainly ample variety of decent choices both hot or cold including desserts. Entree prices range from 3.99-6.99 very fair. Couple vegetarian options . We had a veggie wrap, fries, the veggie balls ( hot plate) w/steamed veggies, quinoa/brown rice w/curry sauce, mushroom bisque and a decadent chocolate slice of cake to go. Each meal 7-8 bucks total w/added sides. Everything pretty tasty, only complaint all food warm, not hot. Mushroom soup could be served in high end bistro, superb! Hummus served w/wrap very good,,, all else good, haven't tried cake yet. Well worth the price, atmosphere bright, airy and clean. At check out area downstairs also a snack bar ( pizza slices, cinnamon rolls, hot dogs, slurpees, etc few rows of specialty foods and freezer items. Hadn't been in several years, place is so huge! We kept s steady pace and still took over 3 hrs to get thru and grabbing a bite. Fun place. read more

I love their meatballs and mashed potatoes! Sooo tasty... mmmm.... Very good price too. I forget what kind of soup I got but it was not worth it. Tasteless. My younger sis likes to get the meatballs with penne and red sauce. My older sis gets the alfredo pasta but I don't care much for neither. Meatballs and mashed potatoes all the way! If you just want a smaller dish of the meatballs, the kid's meal is a good size. And you get a reuseable plastic cup with it! The cinnamon rolls are such a great deal! $1.25 and it's big enough to share with someone. I didn't really like the coffee but then, I'm more of an iced coffee person which they don't make. read more

Almost every time we've gone to IKEA we eat here for the swedish meatballs. I just love it, it's absolutely delicious and fairly cheap. I also love the chocolate mousse for desert. It's a nice little rest after walking around looking for potential furniture. I've enjoyed it every time we've gone. read more

5 stars for the swedish meatballs and lingonberries. Minus 2 stars for all the times I stupidly tried anything else on the menu. Actually scratch that the pancakes are pretty good too. Unfortunately everything else I've had has been what you'd except from a cafeteria inside a giant furniture store. I'd knock them back up to 5 stars if they would bring back the whole baby potatoes and get rid of the mashed ones. read more

I've had the unfortunate exercise of eating 3 sequential meals here because of a crazy shopping/returns schedule that kept bringing us back to IKEA. While it was fine the first time (spaghetti and meatballs), the lasagna the second time was pretty bad, and the chicken nuggets were middle-of-the-road. The kids meal comes with a soda, which is a nice perk. And they're super chill about refills. read more

I've come here a few times. They have vegan meatballs that taste quite good (not like cardboard!) and which have a mild Indian-inspired flavor. The pizza at Ikea is also relatively good, and it's the cheapest in a very wide radius (though Ikea furniture is likely correspondingly overpriced). It was greasier than usual and there were no chilli pepper flakes though. For the price, I'd recommend. Even if you're not shopping at Ikea but perhaps if you're returning from the Airport., read more

There is something desperately wrong at the new IKEA restaurant. Took 25 minutes to get thru the line. Many items weren't available. Forks were hard to find. Many, many dirty tables. Meatballs are smaller than they have been. Not impressed. read more

The truth is that we go to Ikea more than we should, and we plan the trip around a meal. Where else, I ask, can you feed two adults a full square meal including drinks for $13? I've never veered from my standard order: the 10 meatball combo comes with, you guessed it, 10 meatballs and mashed potatoes slathered in gravy with side of ligonberry sauce, a salad, and a drink. You used to get a roll, but now you have to pay 35 cents for it. Chaulk that up to the economy. Hang a right at the main entrance, pass by the creepy day care center, left at the bathrooms, and there's your shortcut straight to the cafeteria. Grab a tray and get in line. It's hot, it's tasty, and enough cals to fuel your exhausting shopping journey for inexpensive Scandinavian housewares. read more

Any visit to Ikea is not complete without a visit to the cafeteria. They are also very good at placement. It is in the middle of the store but setup so you can go to it directly from the parking garage. They are known for their Swedish meatballs (with gravy & cranberry sauce). I usually get this although I go with the smaller portion (10 or less). They also have a pretty good kid's selection as well as specials. Recently I learned they also serve breakfast. Highly recommend the meatballs - I think you can also buy them and the gravy to make at home. Although I did that years ago at a dinner party and haven't looked recently to see if it's still available. read more

$16 equals three happy tummies. $16 for three dinners plus ice cream for dessert is pretty good deal in my book, plus since two of those tummies were kiddos with stretched attention spans and I was living on borrowed time, this meal opportunity came at the right time mid-store. Though I had a pretty pedestrian pasta plate w/ meat balls in red sauce (I know, you're wondering if that's Danish, Swede, or Norwegian penne and red sauce) and the kids had chicken and red mashed potatoes, it was done OK. And again, had I paid $10/plate, I may have been more critical. But at about $3/kid, it was all good. The menu rotates a bit and there are really cool pastries there too (which we avoided and held out for the ultimate teaser at trip end: $1 frozen yogurt cones). Not worth driving from N Seattle to eat here, but if you're looking for a bar stool and a computer desk and happen to need something to nosh, give it a shot! PLUS: they sometimes offer "free" meals... save your restaurant receipt and you get that amount off on a purchase of X dollars. (ie. "spend $100+ and get your meal on us") read more

For a brand new store, the restaurant is not very good. We ordered the Swedish meatballs and had a side order of broccoli cheddar soup. My husband slso had a side of msc and cheese. In addition we shared a marzipan dessert. The lady who took our order was cold and abrupt. The food was cold. The soup was the bottom of the container and tasted awful. The mac and cheese tasted awful. The main dish was unappetizing. We will not be eating in the restaurant for a long time. On a positive note, the cashier was very friendly. read more

I haven't tried many items at IKEA cafe but whatever I have, I can't complain. And, looking at the lines for food, I probably should not. I even wonder if they make any profit on the cafe business Pros: - Cheap, super cheap - Fast & clean - Great specials - Eco friendly/organic ingredients - Delicious broccoli/potato patty Cons - Unhealthy? - Sometimes bland - To tell you the truth I can't think of very many read more

I've been to Ikea in other cities and always enjoyed the shopping experience, but I'd never tried the restaurant. Have to say that I was surprised that it was pretty good. I mean its not amazing, but it sure beat any cafeteria I've eaten in before. And its hard to go wrong with the $1.99 specials. I'd definitely eat there again. read more

The food is CHEAP! But then again, you get what you pay for. I've walked about 10 miles in here so it's better than being hangry. Got the grilled chicken, mushroom, and veggie dinner. It was lukewarm at best. Meh. Also got a side of 5 meatballs (after all, it IS IKEA!) and those were also lukewarm and ...meh. Breakfast here is definitely more exciting than dinner. read more

If u become a member of ikea u have every time a free coffee or tea ) I like food, specially meatballs, they are really good! Also they opened a little food store inside Ikea, which has good stuff in it. read more

I love this place, it's cheap, it's fast, it's good. Meatball combo, almond cake and lingonberry with a splash of sprite. Bees knees. So much food. The combo comes with soup or a salad. I have had the tortilla soup on more than one occasion and it's awesome. My kid loves the mac and cheese. The chicken fingers and fry's always look super good but I can't go against my meatballs. read more

Overpriced and they charged me regular price even though I only took what I was able to eat because of my allergies

Don't get lost in here. There are now two restaurants. I don't think Ikea is known for quality. They sell cheap side tables that are easy to assemble but are not durable in the long run. It reminds me of college days when you need a desk but don't have money to get a nice one but it's only temporary furniture really. I like to get the dollar soft serve. read more

Best meatballs ever!!! Also,when you're a member,you get free coffee.Great almond chocolate tart. read more

IKEA - Scandinavian Near Me - Renton, Washington

OMG This place is the bomb. Where can you go and get a large breakfast for $1.00 And free coffee? And then shop.. This company is building a brand new store and parking is the Pitts but Ikea offers free shuttle service. The shuttle service will take you to your car to an offsite parking area so you can come back and pick up your huge shopping items. I cannot say enough about this company This company does so much for its community. I highly recommend this place for you and your family. . They will treat you right. read more

Went there earlier today to try and find some things for the house. Parking was insane! Not only that, it was a crap a shoot to get parking. I drove around for 45 min circling the lot as they kept letting more people in. So, there was no rhyme or reason who got a spot as people left. If they're going to have parking attendants, use them. That's like having a carousel for a line at checkout. Too bad read more

I guess this is their idea of the loss leader (like Costco's rotisserie chicken) that attracts people into the store to buy furniture- not a bad sampler but definitely not something to make a lifestyle out of. read more

Been here on multiple occasions since moving a few months ago. It's pretty standard like any other Ikea. It is really big but I'd say most if not all Ikeas are built out the same way. Just remember the part, aisle, and shelf # unless it's a smaller item then it's where you see it. I found myself skipping over things now that I have a longer term living situation. As far as furniture, I come here mainly for decor ideas and layout. The restaurant is usually fairly busy, but I do like to stop by! read more

Ikea, you've surprised me. It's like rambling along with an acquaintance at the checkstand, who remembers everything you said. Even when everything was a mind numbing soliloquy about the similarities between different TV show theme songs and how they correlate with the back round music in exciting scenes. I look up and realize, " You're paying attention? I was just going to ramble on to the check out, but hey this is better!" Ikea probably figures meatballs, espresso and yogurt on the check out was a winning idea with Costco but after traipsing about two or three warehouses some people may want an actual meal. My own school cafeteria was very small. For elementary, middle and high school so a "real" cafeteria is a fun experience for me. Plus refillable (never ending) hot tea and(not never ending) pastries? Good lord- somebody put some bookshelves in and I would never leave. Service is super speedy and helpful. Food was really good and not just for the price. The fish and chips were better than most in a proper sit down restaurant. Never had the meatballs though. I just don't eat those when they're not made at home. read more

Great store as always, but pretty disappointing parking and general access to the store. With the new store opening soon this problem may be solved. But even inside the store items weren't as organized as in other IKEA locations. Simply finding batteries for a kitchen gadget was a lot more complicated than I expected. We had to go to another section in the market and even there it was still tricky to find the battery that I needed, in other locations the items are organized a bit better. read more

Can't believe it's been 3 or 4 years since I did an IKEA trip. Haha they still offer done of the same things that I bought when I moved in to my place. Great deals on setting up a new apartment or dorm room. But.. the cost of being stuck in a long walk from one end the the next to save a few bucks for a salad spinner just don't make sense these days. If I want an inexpensive couch or chair I'm gonna use Craig's list and buy a quality piece of finite with a little pre love. IKEA is cool place for a college student but not me read more

Certainly not worth a special trip, but if you are at Ikea and hungry it will do the trick.

Latte - TERRIBLE! The espresso tastes sour. I don't know if they use Arabica beans or the lower quality Robusta(probably) beans. Or it could be the way they roast the beans. Either way, it's bad. I also bought a cinnamon roll that was sitting under the heat lamps. The cashier said they couldn't take any out of the trays, they have to sell those first. That's understandable, so I gave it a try. I took it home to heat it up but it did not help. It was still as hard as a rock! I even put butter on top hoping it would soften it up! Not again IKEA, not again. You have lost my business. read more

Meatballs. In my mouth. Now. Take your girlfriend here on a romantic date. Then seal the deal with a living room set. Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhh buddy! read more

What's not to love about a place that is cheap but with decent food? Their breakfast is unbelievably cheap and their meatballs are fantastic. The atmosphere is definitely family oriented but the place is kept clean. I like coming on weeknights for dinner, when it's a little quieter. It's a cheap place to have dinner with the family (i.e. ideal for kids) without breaking the bank. read more

Best prices in town. I heard so much about their Swedish meatballs so I had to try some. I ordered the child size plate which comes with 5 meatballs, mashed potatoes & gravy and lingonberry jam. Simply delicious. Also had the apple strudel for dessert. The cashier saw that we just signed up for the family membership, scanned our card for a free coffee. Not sure if we get a free coffee with each visit. The family membership is free and makes you eligible for discounts. read more

The new store is amazing! The new gravy is disgusting, they were out of the chicken dinners that they had advertised and the employee got bitter and said don't blame me we've heard this all day then came to her senses and apologized for snapping at us since she was probably in fear that we would report her. read more

This place all of a sudden got really busy and service got worse. We miss old ikea where there were little wait time and excellent service. We decided not to shop here for a while due to no parking and tremendous long lines. read more

I love their meatballs,and their herring bar in different flavors and types. Their salmon loxs were divine!! They have excellent food,and the breakfast was also wonderful and inexpensive!! Very enjoyable meals:-) read more

Whenever I go to IKEA and I'm hungry, it's all about the Swedish Meatballs with lingonberries and mashed potatoes!!! If you're a part of their IKEA Family membership (free to join) you get free tea or coffee! read more

Typical cafeteria. Not bad, not great. A bit overpriced for what they had, but decent food for bulk creation. It's a must if you spend a long time at Ikea, and it could be worse. read more

I think the food here is very good and a great value. I love the salmon, and my best friend adores the Swedish meatballs; her mouth starts watering as soon as we're in the parking universe (between the hike from parking and the crazy winding walk through the showrooms, you've burned off the calories before you even put a bite in your mouth!) read more

The meat ball is really really nice.only 5.99 and you get a full meal at great price. You add a dollar and you get extra 5more piece. The desert is not that good thi. Dont wastr thr money to try it even it does look pretty good. Corn bread is at acceptable quality but no as good as famous dave corn bread.but you get what you pay for. read more

Oh ikea meatballs why oh why must I drive here for that AND your affordable furniture? Because it's IKEA that's all, nothing fancy just simply IKEA & the brand itself tells it all. Long ago prior to me learning about Yelp I shopped here often from my bathroom rugs to light bulbs and light fixtures. Long ago I took it for granted until I moved to Honolulu where the land of expensive stuffs reside even for table lamps. And now here I am back in the PNW groveling on the dirt of where ikea stands...seeking to replace those light bulbs. Even though the quality for their furniture is "okay" because some are on the flimsy side, I would still shop here whether it's an excuse to purchase a gift for someone or to test their couch (who does that? Oh we all do!). Anyway if you're visiting from a land of "IKEA-less" try to see this place, right now they are renovating so parking is a little confusing but none the less they still have those couch ready for you test out & try the meatballs too. read more

9:00 on a Saturday morning I had gotten to ikea early to find the huge parking garage torn down, and to find that the store did not open until 10am. I found a good spot and did not want to come back later in the hopes of finding parking so I waited in my car. Then I saw people walking in not workers but people that had children and what looked like shoppers. So I looked around at the signs that said restaurant open at 9am so I walked in past the ropes keeping shoppers from starting to walk in to the store. I saw the menu at the entrance that had a great deal small breakfast for $1. Hell yes, I said. I then walked into the crowded cafeteria style restaurant with a long line I grabbed a tray cart and two trays. I heard people order the Swedish breakfast's and small breakfast's I saw plates of potatoes, eggs, sausage and plates with all that plus crape like pancakes with strawberry jam and side plates of bacon. Being a chef myself I found that the look of the plates sloppy it was fast service. Trails of sauce on the rims of the plates and out of place food made my OCD of food is gold it must look perfect it's how I make my living cringe. But this place is known for sloppy looking plates. I open the sliding case grab a salmon lox plate with root veg slaw and then order 2 small breakfasts one had more food then the other it did bother me a bit, but then I thought oh well they can't be exact when they're fast it's $1. I then went to pay. I grabbed a glass I only drink water or low fat milk hard to find when at a restaurant anywhere even my own and a mug for coffee. I told the cashier one coffee one water. She said free coffee with that today. Thank you I said then she tallied up the cost it was $7 something the salmon was the big cost item, but a great deal for what you get. I get the coffee and my water we find a place to sit and we try it. The eggs all scrambled were cooked with water or steam to keep them hot not bad though the potato were fried little diced potatoes not bad, I got some ketchup for them the sausage was a bit of a mystery to me. They were skinless spongy and low in fat. I really had a hard time telling if they were pork or turkey, but low in fat was good with me. The salmon was great the texture was wonderful. The coffee I heard was good, but the sausage my guest had was not eaten because I was told it tasted weird. The breakfast was $1 using a premium sausage would have been a stupid idea and they would have lost money on this get them in the store advertisement deal. I was very impressed with this meal yes even the sausage for $2.20 breakfast for two plus the wonderful treat of salmon lox for about $4.99. When it was 10:00 an announcer said its now 10:00 and the store is now open. Well it looked like a Black Friday opening at Walmart. I waited a bit drank more water then got up and entered the store. If you come to ikea I recommend that you have breakfast sometime and bring the kids read more
