Sammy6000September 28, 2014Although 90% of ikea is now computer generated, the hot dogs and 8rmb beer is still almost made out of barely edible and slightly recognisable atoms and molecules.Upvote5Downvote
Time Out ShanghaiNovember 13, 2012The Xujiahui cafeteria is a surprisingly great cheap brunch option. Try its salmon platter with dill dressing and a lemon wedge, pairing well with the organic mushroom and cheese stuffed crêpes. Read more

Dave McNovember 11, 2018The vans are a pretty good deal, if you buy some heavy stuff. ¥40 plus ¥10 for each item they lug up to your house for you. Ride with them though, they’re not very gentle.

Nicholas OlsonAugust 20, 2015Swedish meatballs in the cafeteria, yes! Walk around and see all the young couples taking a break on a bed or a sofa
UpvoteDownvote- Dave McNovember 11, 2018If you buy a lot of heavier stuff, you can hire one of these vans to lug all the stuff to your apartment for you. It’s better to ride with them though, they’re not very gentle.

UmutMarch 18, 2016Great place to shop! Very busy , especially on the weekends. But what do expected in Shanghai :)Upvote1Downvote
Finally, someone figured it out. A separate waiting area for taxi app users. One of the many signs of IKEA's genius.

Look for the extra seating area if you\'re having trouble finding a seat in the cafe. A little hard to find. Plenty of free tables, even on the weekend.UpvoteDownvote- Dave McSeptember 2, 2017I always wonder how many people buy something versus how many just use the showroom as a free activity for the day?Upvote1Downvote

UpvoteDownvote- Dave McNovember 11, 2018This is why it’s so hard to buy furniture at IKEA. A large number of people think it’s a free hotel! 🤷♂️

David Michail SutionoMarch 6, 2015This place is so big, almost all of house needs is here, and the food is not badUpvoteDownvote
The service department is quite helpful: the replaced a table top and a lamp screw free of charge even though I broke them!UpvoteDownvote
As an IKEA it's fine. But as a place it's a nightmare. Get beers at the cafe before you go shopping. It helps.UpvoteDownvote
Free beds and couches for any random stranger feeling like a nap. No need to buy anything. No questions asked!Upvote7Downvote
Francisco LopezMay 19, 2015Caoxi is the nearest metro station. Just across the street.UpvoteDownvote
It's always crowded, but if you must go, do it on a weekday morning. Definitely before 11:30!UpvoteDownvote
