Came for some meatballs left with a recliner and a coffee table 10/10

The food here is great value and pretty nutritious! But they close really early. Great meat and vegan dishes. Dine-in only. Plenty of seating and space for groups of any size.

If both sides are open, just to let you know its the same on both side, the line moves fast and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu but the meatballs taste better here than the frozen one you can make at home. It is a very chilling cafeteria and you clean up after yourself and bring your tray. There are even kids play area and drinks are self serve.

This establishment offers a convenient and budget-friendly option for a quick meal after shopping. I indulged in the Swedish meatballs, which were exceptional, while my partner savored the plant-based balls, finding them equally delectable. Dining here has become a cherished tradition for us, and we relish the experience every time we shop here.

Their food and snacks are not that bad at all. I usually like & always get their meatballs. I think that's the best dish other than the chicken.

This review strictly covers only the Christmas dinner event offered by the restaurant. I don't see any mention online about this location so Im posting here. As a aside, I did hear offhand that breakfast is 2.99 for a small or 4.99 for a large. This is a ticket only event offered right after Thanksgiving at the restaurant only. Tickets are 19.99 or 16.99 if you are a IKEA family member. I went to the 630pm to 800 time. There is a earlier slot for 430 pm to 6. We waited outside while the staff are preparing the food and dining area. They will give you a colored wristband to identify who is participating in the event. Food is obtained by the usual cafeteria style method. Hot items are served in the back of the restaurant by staff. Some items are grouped together on a platter such as desserts and the smaller meat and egg items. For example, the gravalax is served with the herring. The ham is more of salty meaty ham. In fact one of the few items that had plenty of salt. Rest of the items are more subtle in their taste. A lot of the items are just stuff reheated, defrosted, or opened from the food store below. Still good though. The highlight of the meal are the whole filets of smoked and poached salmon topped with sliced cucumber. Soft drinks are just soda, diet soda, and the fizzy berry drink. I did like glogg. It was a sweet herbal drink. There is some festive decor on the tables and the wall and are pretty nice. They also had expat kids sing some songs. That was nice. I enjoyed the event, well worth if you have the time.

This is one of the best places to have a leisurely meal in Houston. Their food tastes like it is a gourmet offering but they charge you fast food restaurant prices. Maybe not to to everyones liking but I always enjoy the meal here. Sometimes I just come here for coffee and dessert when passing by.

Had a pretty decent meal for a good price! Staff is just as friendly as the folks who work the showroom, and the Swedish dishes and sweets are pretty good. They are almost amazing for the reasonable price you pay! I had their lingonberry spare ribs and I was not expecting them to be as delicious as they were! Definitely worth visiting the IKEA restaurant even if you aren’t in the mood to shop for IKEA stuff!

Ikea is always a great stop for a quick, affordable, fresh, vegan spot! We love any chance we get to (of course, shop!) but enjoy grabbing a delicious plate! Vegan Options -Veggie Balls, full vegan, you don't have to ask for changes. -*Plant Balls - the plate shows there is milk. This is because of the gravy & mashed potatoes. -French Fries ----We prefer the PLANT BALLS (vegan) with the Veggie Ball Plate. Hopefully, that makes sense. Dine-In experience is always great for us; always clean, available seating, great self-serve section. Beautiful views almost anywhere in the seating area. Only negative: Due to the pandemic, no self-serve beverages. We freak'n loved their tea! Def missed that! (totally understand, though) ***As for the Veggie/Plant Balls, you can purchase them frozen on the first floor. Def recommend. COVID Notes -Indoor seating is available -Social distance & masks are not required. Staff wore masks. -Customer service was delightful, safe, and helpful -Ordering was effortless & smooth -No self-serving beverages are available. -No issues at all. Thank you, Ikea Restaurant, for delicious Vegan Options!

Plantballs were a delightful addition to the menu. Everything we ordered was great. The almond cake was out of this world. Must try. They ran out in the front so they brought us a slice from the back.
