I think Xinzhuang IKEA is the best store to visit in Taipei. The store is large and has many floors. It has a rich mix of real-life scenes in the city and a full range of ready-made furniture. It is not like other stores that often lack something. I also like the atmosphere of the Xinzhuang store very much in the restaurant. There is a large floor-to-ceiling window, and you can overlook the river to the opposite panel bridge. It is really comfortable. However, there are really many people during the holiday dining time. It is recommended to queue up at 11:00 to prepare for entry (lunch period starts at 11:00), so as not to be like us, after 11:30 We just came in, and it took 20 minutes just to line up to order, and another 20 minutes to get seated and find a seat, and the food was cold by the time we got it (no wonder IKEA has a microwave to heat it up?)

✨ Must-eat recommended meals

Crispy chicken wings $55/2 pieces
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
I believe everyone must have tasted IKEA's divine chicken wings. They are really super delicious. Even if they are cold, they will not dry out and become unpalatable. You can fully enjoy the crispy and fried skin of thin-skinned chicken wings after being coated in flour and deep-fried. The chicken juice inside is locked inside, and you can taste the aroma of the chicken wings when you rub it, which is unparalleled deliciousness. I saw that many people were not polite when picking up chicken wings. They picked up several at a time and ate them.

Vegetable potato cake $59/2 pieces
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
This is also placed in the same area as the chicken wings and is available for self-service. This meal is also ranked in the top two of my favorite dishes. I must eat the vegetable potato pancakes every time I come here. It contains cauliflower, leeks, onions and cheese. In addition, the mashed potatoes are fried into round hash browns. It tastes a lot like hash browns but with more vegetable flavor in it, and it is not as oily as ordinary hash browns. I personally like this texture very much. It can be enjoyed as a staple food on its own instead of rice or noodles!

Swedish Chicken Meatballs $149/10 pieces
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
The meatballs that are a must-try at IKEA need no introduction. They are topped with meatball milk sauce. The delicious chicken meatballs will make people keep stuffing them in their mouths unconsciously, and soon 10 of them will be gone. And I especially like the mashed potatoes and 🔥lingonberry jam🔥 that come with it. It tastes a bit like strawberry jam, but the highlight is that it goes great with chicken meatballs and mashed potatoes! The sweet, salty and salty taste really shocked the taste buds. I never thought that jam and meatballs could be so wonderfully combined. In the end, I directly dipped the jam into it until not a drop was left.

Salmon and Asparagus Soup $35
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
I personally like it very much and must order it every time I go. The soup is moderately salty, thick and has a lot of ingredients. I like the aroma of asparagus paired with salmon seafood.

🫢 It’s okay/you can skip it

Curry grilled half chicken $280
🌕🌘🌑🌑🌑
The whole plate contains curry grilled half chicken, Japanese fried rice and two-color cauliflower. To be honest, I don’t think this meal is very delicious.
The biggest shortcoming is the Japanese-style fried rice. Although it is fried rice, it is actually a bit like the cold risotto you would find on an airplane meal. It does not have the flavor that fried rice should have. It does not taste fragrant, and it is too heavy for the stomach. A bit redundant. Next is the curry-flavored half chicken. I don’t know much about eating it, but I just felt it was very greasy after chewing it, and the chicken was a little dry. But in terms of portion size, it’s definitely enough!

IKEA chips $40
🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑
Although the French fries are the kind I like. They are battered and deep-fried. They are orange in color and thick. But when I ate it, it had gone cold and became very unpalatable and greasy. Moreover, fries are very filling, so it is recommended that multiple people order one to eat together (or if the main course comes with fries, there is no need to order separately).

😍 An unexpected discovery

Bear-shaped bun "Xiong Bao Bao" $35
🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
It's IKEA's best-selling teddy bear doll, made into a bun. It seems to have been sold during the special period, from 4/24 to 5/12, so it should be gone now.
The filling inside is mashed taro, and the skin part has a faint brown sugar steamed bun flavor. It's actually quite delicious, but his face feels very funny and painful XDD

⋯⋯⋯⋯

In general
The restaurant environment of IKEA Xinzhuang store is not bad and there are many seats. However, it is still very full during dining hours. It is recommended to arrive early or avoid rush hours.
The meals are generally delicious and not too expensive, costing about 500 yuan per person!
The restaurant is located on the 3rd floor, so you can finish your meal and then stroll down to the 1st floor to check out. The traffic flow is quite smooth.

It cost almost 1,000 yuan for two people to order this, but they were super filling!
