      This place is 100% designed by a mad scientist who likes making mazes for rats. Even with the maps and signs for directions, you'll be confused where the exit is. This place is really expansive with 2 massive floors and will feel like an infinite loop if you don't pay attention. I'd recommend looking at what you want to buy online first and then try picking up in store since they supposedly save taxes if you buy in store.

      We stopped by this location before heading home to get a snack. The store was huge and had a similiar layout to other IKEAs. You can walk through the showroom or go straight to the restaurant or warehouse. We stopped by at the restaurant before visiting the showroom.

      The line to be served was empty and there were a few people eating. We ordered our food and the server gave my friends extra meatballs without them asking. We assumed because they were closing within the hour. When we went to pay, we noticed the cashier charged us for the extra meatballs even though we didn't ask for it.

      My friend enjoyed their cake and meatballs. I was a bit disappointed with the chicken tenders. The meat is now processed and had that spongy meat compound texture instead of the whole white meat option they used to have. The food was lukewarm but it was filling and affordable for the cost. I am disappointed that the quality of the chicken tenders has gone down because that was my favorite thing to get here.

      Im a big IKEA fan.. my house is full of IKEA stuff.. when we moved to NJ, the first shop we went was IKEA. really affordable pricing, and it looks great.. they also are easy to install, and there are guides to install all furnitutes.. Weekends are just a little crazy . it takes a longggggg time for billing.. service could be better..

      we love the marketplace and lighitng sections.. you can just pick up stuff from marketplace and bill them directly. There is also a AS-IS section with good discounts.. No returns on AS-IS.. They have a restaurant , but the food is average. not much tasty, but for the price its fine. Parking is crazy on weekends.. try going on weekday, and you will enjoy shopping.. Like this place overall..

      Best place for a budget conscious college kid (my daughter)
      She loves coming here, and it doesn't break the bank, and yet, it's trendy and stylish

      ikea You have a problem with bedbugs. I visited your location last Thursday. My partner sat in your chairs at the exhibition for a few minutes and was bitten by bedbugs.

      It's only in the last few years that I've discovered the joys of a trip to IKEA. I guess that's a sign of adulthood.

      I found this particular location to be a bit underwhelming. It has the signature pathway through the store that takes you from living room to bedroom to kitchen, etc. However, I found that the staged rooms were quite cramped and a bit messy. It felt inefficient to have to walk through every nook and cranny to see the full inventory. In general, I wasn't impressed with their selection of sectional couches and other seating. I will say, they do have a cool closet creation service. You can use the computers in store to fully customize what type of storage you want and then you can purchase your selections online or get a QR code texted to you to buy later.

      This store also has a great cafeteria. The food was better than expected. I had previously tried their veggie meatballs and they were just okay. This time around, I tried the plant balls with mac and cheese and cranberry sauce. Everything was very tasty. The mac and cheese looks like Kraft but it's way better with sharper cheese. I felt like I was eating my holiday dinner early. It was awesome that all the food was reasonably priced and they had a good selection of condiments.

      They also have a frozen food section. I bought some of the plant-based meat and made a really delicious bolognese sauce with it at home. I also got pre-mixed frozen fruit for smoothies.

      So overall, 3 stars for the furniture, 5 stars for the food. Ideally those ratings would be flipped!

      Haven't been here in years ever since they opened one in Brooklyn. They have self checkouts at this location. Everything seems to be more organized here. Only thing is they need to really update their prices because it's not accurate between the website and the store. Also kinda disappointed they don't have the lingonberry box drinks anymore or the cooler bags at the marketplace! Food court prices also went up.

      This location is pretty limited. Tons of things out of stock or oversold. The events aren't worth going out of the way for either. My friend says that the food isn't like the other locations either. After looking at the food, I personally knew I didn't want to try it. But my friend is a loyal Ikea Family Member. Literally everything he has ever owned as an adult is from Ikea.

      This place was his first Ikea disappointment. He told me that he will never be returning to this location and he expressed being bummed out that this location is even an Ikea.

      I personally wouldn't bother with this location either, except to check out the "As Is" section at the checkout area. Today they had a memory foam king mattress for $275 because the plastic covering ripped a bit.

      Still setting up 15 minutes after an event is scheduled to take place
      Don't waste your time going out of your way for an event at this location

      I've been to Ikea once in my life when I had no goals or end game. Now, that I am moving into my own place, I need a lot and needed inspiration. When coming to Ikea, be sure you have extra time, clear your whole day if you must.

      I would first like to say how I like how Ikea gives me inspiration and ideas of how I want to remodel my bedroom. There are so many room combos and color schemes that I had saw here to give me a light bulb above my head. Each bedroom had its own style and I appreciated it a lot coming from a person who can be super indecisive. Each section is labeled and there are multiple maps posted so you will know which area to go to and what's upcoming. So basically how it works is for the bigger items like whichever furniture you want to purchase, you must take a pic of the tag and go straight to #21 and look for the aisle and bin #. It might not be in the aisle so you would need to look on the middle floor to see if they have it displayed

      The only downside to Ikea is that it could get a little confusing because I was trying to find a certain aisle but it wasn't as clear on the maps as I would like it to be. Not only that, but I've noticed they are a bit short staffed when it came to their employers. I had to actually hunt down the first person I saw who had worked there. The employers I had met were pretty nice but it was just a hassle to flag one down.

      The one thing I cannot leave Ikea without having is their swedish meatballs. Be prepared to wait in a very long line in the cafeteria that brings me back to high school days. It gave me the vibes of how I only had 40 mins to eat until the bell rings for next period. The food here is priced fairly cheap and the MEATballs are delicious. I would skip on the plant based ones as they are much saltier than the regulars ones.

      Overall, my experience was good. I just got sucked in this store for HOURS -- this is not me being dramatic. I came back sweating and my back hurt a bit from the heavy lifting. This was my first time actually purchasing furniture from here so let's so how long it lasts!
