    I randomly crave their Swedish meatballs sometimes, and today was one of those days! I came after work, which was a great idea because it wasn't busy at all compared to the weekends. I ordered the 16-piece Swedish meatballs to share with my husband. It's a great deal at $12.99 and comes with mashed potatoes and peas. We also ordered two garlic toasts for $1.49 each. The meal was light but still filling at the same time. I felt like it could've used a little more salt, but overall, it was satisfying. The only thing I didn't like was that the cups for the drinks are made of paper. After a while, they started getting soggy.

    Medium Breakfast
    Stephanie H.

    I'm feel like I'm very frequently eating at IKEA...it's just super convenient. I haven't liked everything I've eaten here for lunch/dinner, but I just love getting breakfast from here for some reason. (It's only served for an hour in the mornings, and they'll run out when they get closer to the end of the hour.) I typically get their medium breakfast (served with scrambled eggs, potatoes, Swedish pancakes, lingonberry jam, and bacon). I was sad when their breakfast switched from the waffle to the pancakes, but I've since adjusted to the change. Lunch/dinner is not the greatest tasting of meals, but it's not bad. I personally think the cod, salmon, and meatballs are decent. I do not care for the falafels or plant balls. It's a large open dining area, like a cafeteria. Self-serve utensils are located near the drink dispenser Sometimes the lines are outrageously long, so I don't bother during those occasions. I'm glad it's here though. When you get tired from wandering through the IKEA maze, it's nice to have a spot to grab a quick bite to eat.

    Meatballs and breakfast plates

    Came here on a weekend morning. The line was pretty long. It's a cafeteria style where you get a tray and get in line for the food. They were out of meatballs and we had to wait for the next batch. Service is pretty quick once you get to the front. Some items you grab yourself from the counters/shelves. Once you get your food you pay and can get your drinks and sit wherever you want. Food is a super great deal for the portion.

    I don't remember this restaurant being this filthy. The floors were sticky. Most tables were not cleaned up. The soda and ice machines were not working. There was only water and coffee available. You grab a tray and get in line like you're getting school lunch. The Swedish meatballs are the star of the show. It's very good for what it is. My kids love eating here. I'd rather spend my money at the Costco food court lol. I only come here about once a year. It's a good place to eat after walking around the IKEA maze of furniture. Just be prepared to only find dirty tables.

    Salmon with potato salad and arugula greens, lemon wedge, salad dressing. Wooden fork and knife for extra fiber.

    True Swedish meals here! This cold Atlantic salmon and potato salad with arugula greens was perfect. I needed to be in and out quickly and that's why I selected the premade cold salad on such a hot day. Check out went smoothly and quickly ambience in a true cafeteria fashion.

    In a nutshell; Went during a promo of 50%, honestly not quite sure why the rating's rather low, the food's awesome. Who would've taught putting a restaurant in a furniture store was a brilliant idea. It can get rather busy but theres plenty of seats and tables to go around. Not the biggest menu but what they do offer they make rather well. Do take note it's more of a cafeteria style of serving yet despite that it's really good quality food. The food isnt jam packed with sodium or any over powering flavoring. Some people may complain it's bland or that it doesnt have any taste, I think just aren't used to more subtle flavors. Light saltiness, light sweetness, theres other food options to add for other flavors yet food you can keep eating without immediately getting sick if you eat too much. Overall if youre in ikea, seems almost a necessity to stop by the restaurant for a quick bite or a hearty meal.

    Swedish meatballs with mash,gravy, peas, and lingonberry jam. Chicken tenders and fries
    Carmen Y.

    I love IKEA and their food court! Whenever I visit, I always have to get their Swedish meatballs. This time I also got their chicken tenders and fries to try too. It was a little dry, but had enough seasoning. Right now they have a great deal for their loyalty members. Members can enjoy 50% off on all entrees on weekdays, but it ends soon on August 29th. The workers are very sweet and hard working. They keep the food stations clean and are constantly restocking food items and plates. The layout of the food court is easy to follow and organized. I also like how they have carts readily available for people who order multiple plates! Also, if you have leftovers that you want to take home, you can pick up an eco friendly container and utensil!

    Plant based dish with toast
    Victoria V.

    The people are wonderful here and there is PLENTY of seating. The restaurant is located on the 2nd story. They have anything from salads, cake, and their famous Swedish meatballs. They also have plant based meatballs as an option. Usually plates come with meatballs of your choosing, side of mashed potatoes with gravy and peas and that's what I ordered. My wife ordered the plant based. Overall, food is pretty bland, very simple and almost seems like no seasoning but it's not horrible. I used the bbq sauce they have to give the meatballs some more flavor. Just lack of flavor. The concept is very nice, it's lunchroom style, but I think the place would do better if they could add some more pizzazz! Place is clean as well.

    Unlimited hot coffee refills for $1.50! And if you sign up for ikea family pass (easy & free) the java is free! Love those huge windows.

    Meatballs, double mash, side salad, and garlic bread
    Meghan B.

    Once or twice a year I crave the Swedish meatballs from IKEA. I've only ever been to this one so I can't compare it to other locations, but they never disappoint me. Peas aren't my favorite vegetable so I always swap them out for extra mash or fries with gravy on top. It always hits and the prices are way better than fast food.

    My to-go lunch place

    European vibe. Fresh fish. Fast service, not crowdy in the afternoon. Recommend for a scandinavian experience.

    Swedish Meatballs, Garlic Bread, and Fixings
    Kacey S.

    We had always heard about IKEA and its cafeteria and finally got the chance to check it out while on a trip to visit family. The store was massive, but we found the restaurant right away on the second floor. We opted for the well-known Swedish Meatballs, Chicken Tenders, and a kids Mac & Cheese. Surprisingly, everything was pretty tasty. The amount of food was decent for the price and the fountain drinks were delicious!!! Unfortunately, a lot of the add-ons (desserts, salad, packaged drinks, etc.) were gone and apparently weren't going to be restocked so there weren't many options of food. Additionally, there was only one person serving a long line of people and it took quite a bit to get through. Overall, I would say it's a solid option of food if you need something while shopping, but I don't think I would go out of my way for it.

    Harvest Salad (I think that's its name)
    Jacquelin S.

    We had to be in West Sacramento to buy some wood at Home Depot. We decided to have lunch at the IKEA restaurant. We got there on a Sunday at around 12:30 p.m. There was a huge line for the cafeteria and it moved very slowly, first the slowdown was plating people's requested food, then the slowdown was at the cashier as there was only one. Selection of items is more limited than even the last time we were there a year and a half ago, and very much reduced from when I used to eat there regularly with friends or my book club. Most of the hot entrees are very starchy and not too healthy. I noticed an interesting salad in the cold case and decided to have it. I think it was called the Harvest Salad. It had baby kale, sweet potatoes, dried cranberries, edamame, pepitas, something yellow that may have been carrots, and sautéed onion. The possible carrot had a very strange consistency and no real flavor. I liked most of the other ingredients and it was a very healthy meal. My husband had the Swedish meatballs plate. Turns out it was 40% off for IKEA Family members, so quite the deal. There were plenty of empty tables despite the crowd. The line never let up the entire time we were there. For a quick, inexpensive meal, we will probably return the next time we are in the area. Hopefully the next time they won't be out of the chocolate cake. There were tempting pictures of it on the display menu, but not a slice in the cold case.

The design aesthetic is modern Scandinavian - minimalist, simple, stylish and functional but with quality materials and craftsmanship. If you like midcentury American style, you may like this style as well. I find it to have similarities. But get this... the pricing is even cheaper than majority of the scratch n ding furniture outlets (RH and WS) and comparable to the others. Before you pay more for a scratch n dent, check out Scandinavian Designs. The showroom is in a beautiful stand alone building with its own parking lot. It's easy and quick to get to off Interstate 80. The staff are welcoming and knowledgeable. No hard selling and following eyes. The showroom is beautifully staged and customers are encouraged to sit n test. The square footage is impressive. Lots of inventory.- bedroom, living room, dining room, kitchen, and office furniture; lighting, bedding, rugs, and art/home decor. One side is the showroom that had "final as is" furniture sales including home decor items (art work, vases, figurines, etc). On my last visit, they had bird figurines marked $5.

She walked me through the available promotions, including how I could receive 50% credit toward future purchases in 2026 when buying a mattress--something I wouldn't have known about otherwise. Her communication was thorough, and she went above and beyond by helping me secure a refund from another mattress brand I decided not to go with.

Even looking at the menu as a whole, it seems like most of the dishes really shine because they rely on dairy, eggs, or other animal products. If you're vegan, I don't think this is the best value. There are several other cafés within walking distance, especially around Hayes Valley, that offer more creative vegan options for a similar price.
