Service with a Side of Flavor: The Best Restaurants Near Roseville Kia

Date: 02.27.26

Let’s be real for a second: nobody likes sitting in a waiting room for hours, even if we do have comfy chairs and free Wi-Fi here at Roseville Kia. Whether you’re dropping your car off for a quick oil change, coming in for our New Car Clinic, or you just finished the exhilarating process of signing for a brand-new 2026 Kia Carnival, there’s one thing that’s always on the mind: Where are we eating?

The Roseville Automall area is more than just a destination for great deals and the "Pay Less, Say Yes" attitude. It’s actually a hidden hotspot for some of the best food in the entire Sacramento region. From Michelin-recognized tacos to the legendary sushi rolls that put Roseville on the culinary map, you don’t have to settle for a lukewarm vending machine snack.

Grab your keys (or leave them with our service advisors) and let’s take a look at the best restaurants near Roseville Kia.

The Breakfast Hero: Four Sisters Cafe

If you’ve scheduled an early morning service appointment, you’re in luck. Located just a short hop from the dealership, Four Sisters Cafe is basically a Roseville institution. It’s the kind of place where you walk in and immediately feel like part of the family, which fits right in with how we do things here at the dealership.

Their breakfast menu is legendary. If you’re a fan of the classics, their scrambles and omelets are massive and always fresh. But if you want to treat yourself while you wait for your tire rotation, you have to try the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. They are fluffy, bright, and exactly what you need to start a productive day.

It’s a popular spot for locals, so it can get busy on the weekends, but the wait is always worth it. It’s the perfect place to sit back with a cup of coffee and browse our used inventory on your phone while you wait for that "your car is ready" text.

World-Class Flavor: Nixtaco

Did you know that one of the most critically acclaimed Mexican restaurants in the country is just minutes away from us? Nixtaco isn’t your average taco shop. They’ve received Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition, which is a very fancy way of saying the food is incredible and the prices are reasonable.

What makes them special is the "Nixtamalization" process, they make their own masa from scratch using non-GMO corn imported from Mexico. You can truly taste the difference in every tortilla. Whether you go for the octopus tacos, the classic carnitas, or their famous shrimp tacos, you’re getting a gourmet experience in a totally casual, laid-back environment.

It’s the perfect spot to visit after a test drive. There’s something about a world-class taco that makes saying "yes" to a new car feel even better. Plus, their craft beer selection is top-notch if you’ve already finished all your paperwork and want to celebrate your new ride!

The Local Legend: Mikuni Sushi

You can’t talk about eating in Roseville without mentioning Mikuni. For Sacramento locals, Mikuni is synonymous with a good time. If you’re looking for a vibrant atmosphere and sushi rolls that are as creative as they are delicious, this is your spot.

Located nearby on Eureka Road, it’s a great place to grab lunch or dinner. If it’s your first time, you have to order the "Fair Oaks Roll", it’s the one that started the obsession for many of us. The chefs here are like artists, and the energy in the building is always high.

If you’re waiting on a more extensive service job, like a multi-point inspection or a Polly Auto Insurance consultation, Mikuni offers a great "escape" from the ordinary. It’s upscale enough to feel like a treat, but casual enough that you’ll feel comfortable in your Saturday morning errands clothes.

Upscale Vibes: Fat’s Asia Bistro

Sometimes, buying a car is a big milestone that deserves a slightly more "grown-up" celebration. If you’ve just traded in your old vehicle using our trade-in tool and upgraded to a luxury-spec Sportage Hybrid, head over to Fat’s Asia Bistro.

The architecture alone is worth the visit, the big red dome and the stunning interior design make it feel special the moment you walk in. The menu is a fusion of Chinese, Japanese, and Thai flavors. Their honey-glazed walnut prawns are a local favorite, and the Frank Fat’s Banana Cream Pie is a legendary dessert that you simply cannot skip.

It’s a great spot for a business lunch or a celebratory dinner with the family after picking up your new keys.

The One-Stop Shop: The Fountains at Roseville

If you’re not quite sure what you’re in the mood for, or if you have a car full of kids with different tastes, head over to The Fountains at Roseville. It’s an outdoor shopping center that’s literally across the street from the Roseville Galleria, and it’s packed with fantastic dining options.

Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar: This is the ultimate "chill" spot. It’s dog-friendly (perfect if you brought your furry friend along for the ride in your Kia Seltos), and the menu is massive. From bison burgers to pot roasts, there’s something for everyone.
Yard House: If you’re looking for a huge selection of draft beers and classic American fare like sliders, nachos, and pizzas, Yard House is a winner. It’s also a great spot to catch a game on the big screens while we finish up your car’s EZ Qualify paperwork.
Zócalo: Another fantastic Mexican option with a beautiful patio and famous blackberry margaritas.
Burger Lounge: For those who want a high-quality, grass-fed burger that’s quick and satisfying.

The Fountains is also a great place to just walk around. If you’re waiting for a service appointment, you can browse the shops, enjoy the fountains (hence the name!), and kill time in the beautiful California sunshine.

A Taste of Chicago: Portillo’s

Looking for something fast, iconic, and absolutely delicious? Portillo’s brought a taste of Chicago to Roseville, and we couldn't be happier. If you’ve never had a real Chicago-style hot dog (dragged through the garden!) or a dipped Italian Beef sandwich, you are missing out.

It’s located very close to the dealership and is perfect for a quick bite. They even have a drive-thru if you’re heading home in your freshly serviced vehicle. Pro tip: Get the chocolate cake shake. It sounds like a lot, and it is, but it’s a life-changing experience.

Why We Love Our Neighborhood

At Roseville Kia, we know that being a great dealership is about more than just selling cars, it’s about being a part of the Roseville and Sacramento community. We love our neighbors, and we love the fact that we can point our customers toward some of the best food in Northern California.

So, next time you’re in the neighborhood, stop by and say hi to the staff. We’ll get your car taken care of, and we’ll probably give you a few more restaurant recommendations while we’re at it.
