IKEA Restaurant — Restaurant in Covina

We haven’t gotten any food from IKEA since the shut down. We went there looking for a freestanding bathroom cabinet ( didn’t find one) . My hubby was complaining about eating late so I took him to the restaurant to satisfy his time constraints. The restaurant is cafeteria style you grab a tray and tell the servers what you want. Grab drinks and bread and queue up to pay. Pick up silverware . Find a table or have a party member find a table while you get food. Hopefully your table will be clean but I still pack my pandemic survival kit and had wet wipes. The food was delicious. We had the meatballs with mashed potatoes and gravy. The price was under $35 . I would eat...

After walking through a good amount of the iKea store, it’s nice to give yourself a reward at their restaurant!

I went on the weekend around 1:00 pm. There was a brief wait to order and pay. While there are many seats, majority of them were taken at this time. However, I was able to grab one after looking around a bit.

Of course I got the classic Swedish meatball (16 pc). The meatball is always solid and the highlight of the dish. Close second is the mash potatoes, then the peas. I’m not the biggest fan of the jam, but some people might if they like a bit of sweetness.

They accept American...

The food is great and is also good value. They offer specials or deals on the weekdays. If you sign up for IKEA Family you get free drinks and coupons for your birthday month. You can download the IKEA app for family membership instead of the plastic cards. Menu items are easy to see and understand. It is cafeteria style, so take a tray and pick up items in the display and then order or specify the items you want to the staff when it gets to your turn. Seating is wide, airy, and bright. When you are done eating, simply clean up your table and place the tray of used dishes on the dish rack...
