NP here. For clarification, these are on US-1 about 1 block north of Ikea, but you don't have to go out to US-1. From Ikea, go to the turning circle on the north side of the Ikea above-ground parking lot. The East side goes out to US-1. The north side (90 degrees past the East side) goes to a small side street that feeds the apartments. Take this and at the end, it bends back towards US-1. Just before you get back to US-1, you'll find the restaurants. Potbelly and Buffalo Wild Wings will be on your right in the strip mall, Sarku (japanese teriyaki, including a vegetarian option with tofu, a seaweed salad, and a salad with ginger dressing) and Einstein bagels will be on the left. They share a building.
For other alternatives, if you go a little further north on US-1 (towards Beltsville and Laurel), you will find a Sardi Pollo Peruvian chicken place on the right (just under a mile). If you go up just past the Costco to Powder Mill Road, on the north-west corner of Powder Mill and US-1 there is a little strip mall with a CVS. There is a great little Korean noodle house and Dunns River Caribbean cafe. Two other local, good ethnic cuisines.
