IKEA

IKEA - Katy Fwy (Houston) Sometimes, it’s rewarding to be at the right place, right time. I visited this IKEA for the first time and I was able to be rewarded by 11 AM, for being among the first, forty, IKEA Members. For a limited time, IKEA is doing a Giveaway to the First, 40, Registered Members, to Celebrate their 40th Anniversary. (Visit your local store for details) The first, 40 Members, receive a chance to participate in a drawing to win $5-$500 IKEA gift card. I was able to draw a $5 gift card, which paid for over 80% of my Swedish Meatballs Meal (12 count). Normally, 12 count meatballs meal cost $9.99. For a limited time through September 2025, Members receive 40% discount, as part of the 40-Year Anniversary. After my delicious meal and enjoying my time in their clean and brightly lit dining room, I decided to walk around and see if I could find anything I could buy. Side note, at IKEA, it can be dangerous to walk around and not buy anything. If you don’t come with discipline and willpower to not buy something you don’t actually need. LOL! I enjoyed imagining, as I walked through different rooms. What’s your favorite room to get lost in your imagination? For me, the kitchen. IKEA always does such a great job at showcasing their kitchens. Almost eliminating guess work of what your next kitchen can look like. The second magical place I like to be lost in my imagination is their lighting area. I’ve always admired how unique their lamps look, as well as, light fixtures. Overall, I enjoyed being at this location and looking forward returning.

Everyone needs to walking around IKEA and enjoy the beautiful displays. You can’t just eat order online and pickup the item. Pickup service department was quick and fast. Stop and get you something to snack on. The only thing was the trash cans overflowing inside and outside.

Longtime Satisfied Customer! I’ve been using IKEA products since 2009, and they’ve always been reliable and affordable. They offer a wide range of household items—literally everything you need for your home under one roof. Some items require assembly, but that’s part of the fun! You can also design your own space using their in-store or online design studio, and their staff is always helpful and professional. Great value, smart solutions, and stylish choices—highly recommend!

Great IKEA location with tons of products and a wide selection of items. Be sure to check out the “As-Is” section—returned items often marked down 50% or more! Tip: go early in the morning or about an hour before closing. Parking is easy during those times, especially near the doors. A great spot for deals if you’re furnishing on a budget!

4/10/25: A quick Ikea trip yesterday brought home a couple of practical gems: the well-regarded LADDA rechargeable AA batteries (HR06, 1.2V, 2450mAh), priced at $9.99 for a pack of four, and the iconic large blue FRAKTA shopping bags (21 ¾x14 ½x13 ¾", 19 gallons) for just 99¢ each. I keep a stash of reusable bags in my trunk - ideal for grocery pickups and spontaneous shopping runs. Oddly, we only spotted two other rechargeable batteries in the markethall lighting section. When we asked for help, the staff member checked two or three other possible locations but could only find a few boxes, despite their website listing hundreds in stock.

Return area needs more employees. IKEA needs to stop being cheap mfs and have more people working in returns. If you have only 1 person doing returns for 10+ people it's going to take a long time

I Went to go pickup furniture for a friend. The process was easy and smooth. After they notified in the app that I was there. The IKEA personnel came out and helped me load my truck. Then I double checked the order and away I went. No troubles what so ever. I totally recommend

So I love IKEA mainly because of the as is section! I have found some of my best pieces in the as section. I found my couch that was originally $900 in the Isaac section for only $400 along with the cushion covers. They were originally $300. I was able to find them for $12!! You can’t beat that.

Shopping in Houston, Texas... My youngest niece has never been to an IKEA. There's none in Hawaii... so, this was an educational experience for her. We showed her how to follow the arrows on the ground to see everything and not get lost. She saw the setups for different rooms in the house as well as many types of furniture, kitchen gadgets, snacks, organizational items, beverages, plushies, etc. Her parents actually wanted to dine here, but it closed at 8pm. Shucks... no Swedish meatballs for her... Maybe next time! Thanks to the nice worker who told us about the dining room hours! We scanned our own items and had our own shopping bags!

IKEA Houston has been one of the places in this city that I've visited more than a handful of times in the past decade. Whether it's to shop for furniture, look for inspiration or designs, visit their bistro or cafe, this store has plenty to offer. Having visited other IKEA locations nationwide and internationally, I've been able to make comparisons to this Houston location. Their parking lot is huge, but since it is literally right off the highway, the way it is designed isn't the best for those who want to turn in or head out especially when the traffic hits hard. I've witnessed many near misses on the road but glad to say nothing crazy so far. Their amenities are quite nice for their members which include a daycare like playland for little ones plus free coffee during the visit in their cafe. There are also many offers throughout the store if you have an IKEA family card, giving discounts every now and then (like a birthday reward) and even specials on food items on certain days of the week (like 50% off food on Tuesdays). The layout is just like any other IKEA store in the world, with a pathway from area to area taking you through lighting and fixtures, kitchen and dining, closets and cabinets, etc. It has so much to offer and can be overwhelming. Luckily, browsing online and in store can help you narrow down what you need to get for whatever space you're trying to fill. I have bought many things from various departments inside IKEA and found a lot of what I bought a good buy in terms of quality, design, and price. I've also had a few items here and there that weren't as awesome as I thought they'd be. The crowds during the weekends can be really bad and visitors with carts may be going any direction on the pathway, so caution is needed. The checkout area can also be as chaotic, so self-checkout as much as possible! IKEA's products are typically more affordable and not as great quality as many other places...but can still appeal to many. There are several team members at your service when you need them so don't be afraid to ask for help whenever needed. All in all, a popular destination for those who are looking to spruce up a space, with no right or wrong, just what suits your taste (and wallet).

What can you really say about IKEA that's not already been said...not much. It is true that the store although extensive, is well organized. It's true that their parking lot is huge. It's true that the store is well maintained, providing many options and equally as many deals (on certain items). No longer being a dorm student, or a young couple, you'll usually find me in thrift shops when I want a deal and quality furniture, but for temporary use, DIY projects, and non essential pieces IKEA is fine. The returns and heavily discounted items room is one I wish I discovered in college, and for what it is, I appreciate it. However, no matter how good the deal is, I've struggled to 1. Find help when I need it as my lil 4'11" self cannot reach most things and 2. Have never found the patience to wait in that long line after an hour of navigating the entirety of the showroom maze to finally locate my items downstairs. Maybe it's my timing, but I've yet to have a "quick trip into IKEA" (less than 1 hour), which over the years has made me less and less inclined to go. All that being said, I'll definitely take my future kiddos, nieces and nephews when they begin their furniture journeys. IKEA is still a great spot for first time and budget buyers.

It's fun to wander around and try to find the exit through the maze of living rooms and bedrooms you wish you had. Like being in Hotel California.

We bought another ikea bent wooden chair and a cushion. We already had one and love it. Can't beat the price and how well they hold up. Some assembly was required, saw a box of chocolate that required some assembly to become a bunny rabbit...had to take a pick.

Pitstop at the food court for IKEA Swedish meatballs is a must! They do offer plant based and veggie meatballs as well. Staff is always friendly and super helpful throughout the entire store. As for their furniture you get what you pay for in my opinion.

I love IKEA! The experience: walking through every square inch of IKEA is a stellar experience and great exercise. I do it a few times a year, and I'm always stunned by how low their prices are. Especially their napkins. When my kids go to college and need to buy furniture, hands down we're going to IKEA. The furniture: for the price, amazing. It's not the highest quality but gets the job done. Also lower quality furniture tends to be lighter in weight, so it's easier to move! Regarding the assembly instructions, I can't even put a LEGO set together, so I struggle. But an average person should have very little issue. The food: Yes, the food. It's surprisingly good. I love the meatballs, and the chicken strips and fries aren't too bad. Their regular coffee is also quite tasty. I'm not a huge fan of the decaf. If you join as a member, you can get a free cup of coffee each time you visit. Overall, please give IKEA a chance. I love them.

Who doesn't love IKEA?! This location did not disappoint. Wow every IKEA is amazed. In and of itself, the workers here were super nice and helpful. Most went out of their way to help assist me or point me in the direction of someone who could help me. They had several displays out that help you design the perfect space for you. The selection of home, decor, items, and furniture as well as plants where a pleasant surprise. The pricing is great. I even stopped on the way out to try out their veggie hotdogs and non-alcoholic beverages.

Experience is nice, I can guarantee you'll never leave without buying anything. The meatballs are delicious for ikea food. The pizza is awful

They have curbside! Yes thank you! Very quick and efficient. And who doesn't need something....or many somethings from IKEA! I recommend the BEAUCARNEA RECURVATA plant. Literally the easiest plant ever to care for. I know bc I've not been able to keep any plant alive ever. lol Except this one! I've had mine for year. A little water and sun and it grows like crazy. Plus it reminds me of Whovilel. :)

Clean and well stocked. Nice staff and always delicious food court food. :) I really love their Christmas items this year. Already!! But so pretty

8.23.23 PLEASE BUILD A STORE IN THE WOODLANDS or THE NORTH SIDE! Exchanging damaged cabinet I bought on 8.21.23. I can't believe with houston being the 4 largest city in the USA, that there is only one IKEA in Houston. It's 52 miles one way for me. So I really have to think before I just head out to IKEA. IKEA should build a location in The Woodlands and one in Clear Lake for the south Houston area. I bought two cute red cabinets for my new bathroom. (See photo) They are made out of galvanized steel. I had to exchange one because it had a dent. IKEA has some great storage containers and boxes. They have a large selection of clearance going on right now.

Worst return process ever. No one tells you to sign in, so I waited 20 minutes before being rudely told to start over--then waited another 40 minutes. One rude employee handling everything. For a store this big, it's shocking how disorganized and disrespectful the return area is. Never again.

Store had chairs in display but not in stock. Asked if I could have the ones in showroom, I was told no. Waited for new arrival, week later show up on inventory, ordered and purchased chairs online along with an $1.99 item. Delivery $20. Get a big empty box with the $1.99 item and NO CHAIRS. Chairs were cancelled and refunded since they were not in stock. Why do you let me purchase then??

We ordered a Hermes bookcase. All good except sending out 2 of the same doors for the cabinet. This was 9.2024...and after HOURS on the phone, another incorrect cabinet door sent out, promises for the correct door to be sent out and now them telling us we have to travel 3 hours round trip to pick it up because of their mistake and poor customer service. The staff has been pleasant, but this has been ridiculous.

The last time we shopped in IKEA we spent over $1000. We were in the market for a desk and some pantry cabinets We are from Baton Rouge Louisiana so we don't have an IKEA any closer than here. lol

Driving up to Ikea is like driving into Astroworld (r.i p.) The place is massive! This is a multilevel store with elevators & maps provided. There are so many mock ups of their items which makes shopping a little easier for the visual people out there. Employees are always walking around & very helpful if you need anything. A small little cafe which I haven't visited but hear lots of great things about their meatballs. Very well air-conditioned but bring walking shoes!

WARNING!!! When I got home my dad ask how much I get those items for, I told them some were on sales. Guys, please double check your receipt, ALL of the sale items didn't mark down :( Coming from cali I'm so happy to know in texas they have ikea too! I love this place!!!!

NGL - I've always loved IKEA and to a lesser extent, I still do. Their budget friendly furniture always serves a niche. This review is about my last 2 experiences visiting this place. We were in the store to buy a minimalistic high chair that was only $20. The deal was so good for the product that we actually bought two. The employees are as non attentive as ever and the staff seems to be getting younger and more apathetic as compared 'Back in the day'. But I guess I was there for the budget friendly high chair and came out satisfied. So why the 2 stars? Well its their stupid cafeteria. IKEA food raves itself for cheap, good and affordable. While I can agree to all those adjectives, their service is completely and utterly laughable. Sunday afternoon is busy, sure I understand that, but when you're 50 patrons deep into a cafeteria line, your 2 line workers and 1 register person is NOT sufficient. Anybody with a brain can tell you that. It took over 15-20 minutes to get our food and check out. Yes there are people in the back and other workers, but man the common sense is lacking. Once we got our food, we went to get our silverware, but alas, there are no more spoons and forks. We have to wait another 5-10 minutes to have a heavy set guy hustle from behind the counter to the front to get some cutlery. *rapid breathing* A lack of foresight plagues the staffers. Erase that, a lack of common sense is missing from them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At another visit last year, it was a cold, dark and rainy night (cliché, but Yes it really was!). I had dropped by to get a drink and do some walking through checking baby beds. My truck's battery decided to give up that night. Since it was rainy and I had my pregnant wife at the time with me. I needed some help jumping my truck after I loaded it up. I had my jumper cables in hand and I just needed someone to help me with my battery. I went into CUSTOMER SERVICE and asked the folks there to help me jump it. Hoping for some sort of friendly face and a lending hand, the lady states " Sorry, its a liability issue". Truth be told, I half-ass expected this response, especially from a corporate's POV. But from a human kind perspective, this was a total jerk move. IDC if its a corporate policy, I will always help someone out or at least find someone that can. Apparently to IKEA its not as important as covering their own butts. BET - I see you IKEA.

Came here on a Friday evening because I heard the food was 50% off on Fridays.... guess what? It's true!!!! The salmon is 5.99, the chicken tenders and the meatballs were 4.99. All the food was tasty, we didn't have to wait long. Tables were clean, and service was quick. Will definitely return just for the food alone lol

Free food with my student discount large portion that was fulfilling before getting to explore the furniture/designs

Terrible service. Terrible management. Terrible organization. It will take at least three visits to pick up my order. Don't tell people a time and date and then not follow through. Terrible experience

Horrible customer service. Paid for assembly and didn't get it. Had to go into the store to get the right parts since they sent the wrong ones. The girl I dealt with was nice, but had horrible customer service overall. They had one lane open for 34 customers and 8 guys standing around parts. Finally assembled the couch myself to find out it was defective. Went back and forth with customer service for 2 weeks to schedule a replacement delivery. Said they didn't have pictures of the part I needed even though I sent it to them multiple times. They finally realized what the part was when we went in person, but told me that it would probably get delivered at a time that I would not be home since they couldn't give me a date or time for delivery. For what we paid we received horrible product and customer service throughout our experience. The replacement part finally got delivered and was supposed to be assembled by them but I was told by the driver that he was already running late and had other deliveries to make (not my problem it's your job). When he was taking the part out he scratched our table and took off before I could take the screws and attachments off so now I need to get those parts. Called ikea again and found out assembly wasn't listed in the order when it was supposed to be. Keep in mind the order was placed in person and the order writer confirmed assembly. Every time i call I always get put through to the call center after waiting 15+ minutes just for them to tell me they don't understand.

I literally want everything in this store!!!! This store has such great furniture and decor for your home/apt. There are soo many options to choose from and I feel like the prices are not too bad for the quality of items that they provide. Will definitely be coming here more often.

I've been here maybe 2-3 times ever. I went with a friend who wanted to look at their furniture for a sofa bed that converts easily by pulling the string and adjusting the backing. She also wanted a little foot stool. 98% of the furniture is tagged as "temporarily unavailable", however, if you want stuffed animal dinosaurs or kitchenware, you should be good to go! We saw a couple of kids stuck in the bin of snake stuffed animals yelling for their mom not to leave them cause they used the bins like a ball pit. Classy. We looked around and liked a few kitchen setup ideas, trellis decor, or organization and saw a few things we'd do differently. The quality is "eh", but it is IKEA. You get what you pay for. I have a lovely red glass cabinet that was gifted to me years ago and a dresser that I still have. Depends what you get. The saving grace of IKEA just might be their cafeteria. I've tried the Swedish meatballs before, which are tasty with the lingonberry sauce. This time we opted for snacks and saw the sign for $1.79 almond cake and people purchasing fries. The giant sign with almond cake lured us. There was a small slice left in the display case (before they restocked). The almond cake was delicious! It's like a Symphony chocolate bar with almonds and toffee topped and layered with thin cake. I could eat 10 of these. Lol. Fries were good and crispy dipped in ranch or ketchup. If you're at IKEA, you must try the almond cake (unless you have nut allergies. Please don't.) Don't expect to find available furniture, probably cause of the crazy inflation post pandemic.

Purchased a mattress at Ikea on Saturday 11/2. Paid for delivery and pickup of the old mattress. Mattress delivered Tuesday, old mattress to be picked up today. Alas, contact customer service and they have no order for p/u. Gave them order # but still no. They did say that I paid for p/u but no order. C/S called local store but no one answered...striving for excellence is not their purpose. Allegedly pick up will be Friday. Still haven't slept on new mattress since we can't move the king size one. My apologies to Mattress Mack. Should have got to Gallery Furniture

It is what it is. Furniture that is practical and not expensive. We decided some years ago to stop buying particleboard. Since then we have been pleasantly surprised to learn that Ikea has a number of items made out of real wood, metal and tempered glass. For example, we enjoy a lovely dining table made out of acacia. Now we are on the lookout for some nice bookshelves By the way, the Swedish-style cafeteria is worth a visit. The menu is quite small, but the food is fresh and tasty. Children especially love it.

Thank you for having plant based options! The downstairs bistro has a good veggie dog! And the restaurant has good plant based meatballs! Great date night idea! It's like a Giant maze with so much to look at

When I need a quick fix of home furnishing, I turn to IKEA. Unfortunately, I'm here more often than I needed to. This is due to Covid-19 pandemic with shortage of labor and worldwide supply chains of wood. When I started working from home, I needed furniture but they closed majority of 2020. So, I wanted a picture frame in 2021. I attempted to order online, it said all sold out. I tried at 2 am, 10 am, 2 pm and forget it. At one point, there were few. But when it comes to opening time, all gone. WHO WANTS PICTURE FRAME THAT BAD? So, I bought a cheapo one at Target instead. I have been here for dozen times this year already. I just need to replace my bed and mattress. I found them online and been religiously following each item. When I got to the store, shelf was empty. Employee said, they had 4 in the inventory. But not they could be on someone's shopping cart. Uhhh... It's ok. I went home and tried to follow it again. As soon as Monday came, they got few dozens. So I bought it online. It didn't say when to pick up until I paid for it. Wait, I don't have time to pick up next day. So I rushed to the store to claim it from the shelves. Employee at pick up was nice to tell me the order was ready. I didn't have to wait. When I got home, I found something missing from the bed base box. I search online for SULTAN center leg. The closest one is in San Antonio. I asked my sister to try East Palo Alto. They told her their inventory system was wrong. She had to drive 2 hours to South Sacramento. FOR WHAT? IT'S ONLY $10 PART. Get some in your store already. My bed was raised with boards and books. As I was about to write a nasty gram on Reddit, I saw that item was available for shipping. I spent about $4 to get it shipped. Thank goodness I didn't need to drive to San Antonio for a $10 item. I couldn't return it because it was already built and it weighs over 90 pounds. I nearly broke my back to get it to my house. There are other furniture stores in Houston, you know. Get your online ordering system and inventory system updated!!!!! Employees are nicer than the systems. That's why I'm stuck with IKEA.

Placed a large order and paid for delivery, they keep rescheduling and not providing a reason. Called and talked to 6 different customer service reps who promise it's going to be delivered on a certain date and then the delivery is canceled the day of after taking time off. Happens more than 4 times. Customer service is non existent. No one to complain to.

I love coming to this location to get some quality furniture. I've perused other furniture stores, but none of them seem to impress me as well as Ikea. My complaint is that there is a mismatch in availability of an item between the website and the physical store. Ikea places tags saying "Temporarily unavailable" on their items that are currently out of stock. However, I tried looking for a floor lamp (the Ranarp), and it wasn't available in the marketplace despite not being labeled as temporarily unavailable in the showroom. Consequently, I had to get it from Amazon. It seems kinda pointless to have these tags anyway. If you're looking for an item, I highly recommend you look it up on Ikea's website to see if it's even in stock. That way, you don't waste a trip.

Well my order was shorted three items. After waiting on hold to talk to someone. Because there chat GPT is useless. I had to wait on hold for 1hr. then she still screwed my order up, second call on hold 40 mins. She screwed my order up even more. Plus, now i was charged for 4 items i don't need. third attempt on hold 40mins to get hung up on after he kept trying to over talk me. Now to make a formal complaint I have to guess what? wait on hold to talk to customer service. DO NOT BUY FROM IKEA!!!!! Who in this day and age does not do a call back when someone is available to talk?????

This review is in reference to the food available at Ikea. The soft-serve found downstairs might be tastier than McDonald's. The princess cakes are a magical combination of marzipan and other delights and can be bought individually or in multipacks frozen. Upstairs is where the magic happens... AKA the food. I will say that one star got deducted because they really downgraded their coffee. My dad used to be obsessed with it but they changed their machines, not sure about the beans. It's just not the same. They also discontinued the lox salad and open face for a while and instead have a lox wrap which doesn't seem as appealing. Prices have gone up likely due to the pandemic. But I will say that the lox itself is tasty as can be and reasonably priced compared to other spots. The breakfast was 99 cents and included potatoes, eggs (fake eggs) and meat item or replace with Swedish pancakes for an additional buck or two. The veggie cutlets pictured below are a pleasure. The atmosphere and seating is lovely in the morning when it's empty. The decor is swanky and cool and it's really a nice place to enjoy a solo breakfast and look out the window, or to spend some quality one-on-one time with a friend or family member. Clean up your own tray when you're finished and drop it off at the designated area!

Not to be confused with KIA (a car), IDEA (I don't have as many as I used to), and IKR (you know, right?). I first shopped here at the Milton Keynes location (UK), and hated it, but was able to get what I wanted (chairs for my UK tour). Since then I've been to many of them in many places, I find the food they serve to be bland fast food that has gone up in price significantly, and I find the traffic coming in and out of this location in particular to be a total nightmare. Having said that, it has its merits and it's great for Houston that they have one here. The nightmarish drivers got it reduced from 3 to 2. Share the road, IKEA customers.

If you are looking for low cost items for your home to help decorate , organize or brighten up this may be your place. If you are looking for Houstonians to wear a mask inside or remember to put mask over their nose , this definitely is not the place . Hopefully most are vaccinated since there seemed to be a mask challenge for most in store. I picked up a few items and left quickly .Will I return? Definitely not for awhile or at least until herd immunity occurs or the second they open and crowds are lessened . Positives : Very courteous employees that were helpful navigating around store. Huge selection of everything I was looking for and courteous cashier who didn't mind using hand sanitizer between customers.

- Very little customer service available - Extremely long checkout lines - no matter how much you spend they do not provide bags for you to carry your items out. You have to push them out the store in your basket and just placed them in your trunk. - You can easily get stuck walking in the store forever without ever knowing when the exit is coming. I got lost in here on a couple of occasions. If you see people who know their way around, don't be fooled. Those people are their everyday lol. - You're going to get hungry while you're here and the food that's available at they're restaurant is gross, trust me. - You need to invest in some tools to put everything together because some of the things don't even come with what is needed to install it or build it. - They have some decent stuff if you know how to put it together yourself.

Last weekend I was at Ikea looking for a mattress topper. on the way out, my niece came across a box of pillows on sale for $5.00. Across from the pillows, Gabriel was restaging a room, and had a many items to add to the box. He helped us look through the sale items for an ergonomic pillow. He found three, and warned to wait for price tags!!'. thank you Gabriel.

I know it's Ikea and their products are cheap junk. I get it...I wasn't there looking for a family heirloom. I just wanted to get an armchair for an old man and my only requirement was that it'd be under $300, have a cushion, and not wobble around. Somehow Ikea couldn't deliver on that. I saw the chair in the picture and thought it would work and even picked out a little pillow for it and the little foot rest but then saw it was unavailable. They had two of this color and like 4 of another color on display so when a manager type person was walking by with an employee, I asked if they could just sell me the display model at full price but she told me in a Swedish accent that they couldn't do that unless it was a discontinued model. They had one in Puke yellow however. This seemed to be the case chair after chair...If the damn thing is so popular, how can they not keep it in stock in the 4th largest city store? If they don't get enough in stock then why have a whole room full of display models? I don't know, it just seems like they want you in the store and then break you down and get you to buy something, anything just to get out of that god forsaken rat maze of a store. So that's what I did...The old guy couldn't wait another day so I bought one I didn't really like and then waited a half hour to pick it up. Maybe I'm just not an IKEA type of person.

IKEA is the perfect place to be inspired. With bold colors, creative layouts, and an abundance of furniture and decorative options, I always have a blast visiting. I appreciate how they change their displays often and have lots of room to walk around (as long as it's not the weekend). Their meatballs are a classic. You can never go wrong with ordering the world-renowned IKEA meatballs. They also have vegan meatballs and a vegetable platter for the health conscious or those on a special diet.

Rating the Ikea Food Court... Of the Entrees: 1) Classic Meatballs 2) Chicken Thigh 3) Plant-based Meatballs 4) Grilled Salmon Of the Sides: 1) Mac n' Cheese 2) Green Beans 3) Cauliflower Rice 4) Mashed Potatoes 5) Bell Pepper 6) Vegetable Medallion The soup was alright, and the garlic bread was very reminiscent of food court garlic bread.

Torte time..again...I have always have to have these to take home. I have a slice of torte and hubs had an entire meal...(lunch) . I enjoy going to IKEA even if so far from home..

Veggie Love! Lessgo! The Veggie Dog was so good; great price, fast, & tasty! We devoured: -Veggie Dog ($0.75 that day) - love it just the way it is. -Strawberry Soft Ice Cup -Pretzel Yummy! **You can purchase the Veggie Dogs frozen in bulk. 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, for delicious Vegan Options!

Whenever I hear people talk about IKEA, it's always these grand stories about how wonderful it is, how amazing the food court is (cheap and unbelievably good hotdogs, Swedish meatballs, etc.) how you wander around basically for hours and it's like Heaven on earth... Well, this was not the greatest experience for my FIRST EVER IKEA visit... but then again, this is during Covid times and everything seems to be a bit unusual right now. BUT, at least it was open, right? IKEA is open... not the food court or the kid area... I came with some seasoned IKEA shoppers on my maiden visit. Personally, I didn't come with a list of needed items, just figured if something jumped out at me, I could get it. I mean, I LOVE the "IKEA look." We walked around, took pics of the product tags of items we wanted. I found an awesome full length mirror for like $30 and some pillow covers for under $5 each. My friend found some floating shelves for a steal-of-a-price as well as a desk and couch she loved... Now for the kicker... this IKEA location was OUT OF EVERYTHING. The warehouse was EMPTY. Everything we wanted was OUT OF STOCK. No mirror, no desk, no shelves, no couch, no comforter which would have looked perfect in my daughter's newly painted room, no duck feather pillow inserts or the white and black pillow covers which I loved. I ended up only purchasing 2 plain black pillow covers and a plastic bag holder. Spent under $12. Hopefully this location will restock their merchandise and we can come back and have a REAL IKEA experience!!

Houston IKEA is Terrible. Not the experience I've had with other IKEA locations. I made a sizable order on their website. Received a text from IKEA that one item was not on the sales floor but would be shipped from the distribution center and be available for pickup the next day. Never heard anything back. I called the 888 number and couldn't get a straight answer then was hung up on. Called back. The new person proceeds to tell me she can't give me an update and there's nothing she can do about it. I now don't have my items and don't even know when they're going to be available for pickup. The store is 1-1/2 hours from my house. So I can't just skip up there. I asked if there was someone I could talk to higher up, and the rep said "I could try but it won't do any good. Call back in 4 or 5 hours" Shameful and disappointing.

I always get lost here, it's very easy to get distracted with all their decor. Prices are great, staff is friendly and fast at check out .

IKEA is an EXPERIENCE! Love shopping here. Love just looking around in here. Love getting lost in here. Love the cafe in here. They have EVERYTHING. I do really get lost in here every time lol

Central location near Spring Branch/Heights. Huge parking lot and a tourist attraction as much as a furniture store. Huge footprint downstairs and upstairs. Fun to walk around and buy random household stuff once in a while but I'm not a fan of their cheaply made faux modern aesthetic for anything but a college dorm. You can definitely find some household stuff on the cheap that looks good enough but for the most part, you pay for what you get/don't get.

I love IKEA there is nothing like using your brain while building these furniture pieces at home, its a giant puzzle with instructions. over the years I have owned numerous pieces and still own some rare discontinued furniture. walking thru these displays the living rooms, bedrooms, restrooms, kitchens etc. is amazing its set up for you to image your self in them sometimes I like to roleplay in these set ups haha! a lot of imagination when coming here and I'm constantly always changing my living space as I try to make my place look like these set ups but fail to do so and never comes out like it but its very good inspiration. the prices are affordable for furniture, household items etc. but in my opinion the furniture tends to be on the cheap side sometimes can easily brake depending how you treat your furniture but sometimes some have good quality. you have a 365 return policy if your not happy read your fine print on the receipt. the IKEA restaurant on the other hand Is a whole other department and its probably my favorite, you cant get enough of those Swedish meatballs and sweet sauce to complement it huh?. IKEA even sells them frozen to take home. over time I have eaten the Swedish meatballs, salmon balls, veggie balls, chicken balls and they are all delicious. the vegetables and other sides they serve are really good and go well, and the desserts are always good. come hungry and come wearing your walking shoes here.

Poorly organized. A lot of sold out items still being advertised on shelves. The flatbeds are "supposed to be" on aisle 7 the employee told my sister in law yesterday (after she chewed him out for a violation of ADA since we are both disabled) and they make you walk all the way to the front of where the bins are to get a flatbed. The bins have the wrong product where your product is supposed to be. And the big kicker that really P me off is the downstairs cafe. It's like a cattle call. Don't people have any sense to know that there is a cafeteria upstairs ?! Why do they all have to flock like bees to a hive at the downstairs cafe ? There are FOUR self checkout tall computers, the staff won't ring you up which is idiotic! Like clockwork (I was here yesterday and today ) there are people that seem to be stuck on stupid putting their order in for hots dogs or pizza or whatever they're ordering at snails pace. At this point I think they're using the order/ checkout tall computers as a video game because they are clearly playing on them. Meanwhile, the lines are to the checkout which is unacceptable! I have for 2 days tried to buy some frozen food and Swedish grocery items for my kids and CANT! Because these people chose to be hogs and play on the computers and waste everyone's time! Staff need to start ringing people up. Yesterday evening 2 of these self ordering stations were CLOSED and about a dozen ppl were waiting at the 2 open computers. This ikea has gone downhill ! It's also hard to find staff to help and the customers walk backwards on purpose in the walking lanes / aisles and it's very difficult and dangerous. Why don't they see the arrows on the ground ? It's idiot proof but clearly some can't understand!
