Who did ownership bribe to earn top 5 restaurant in Placer County? Because a top 5 restaurant wouldn't have 2 people working the front of the house on a Friday night with a room full of customers. That is precisely what happened. We walked in on a Friday night and waited in the front for a good 5 minutes to be acknowledged. At that point, I had a funny feeling in my gut because I counted 7 tables with people. 3 of them still had their menus. After we were seated, we proceeded to wait another 15 minutes while 3 other sets of customers walked in. At that point, I knew this was futile. We ended up going to lahuacas and what do you know? We got seated and served drinks in less than 5 minutes. Now I know you're wondering. Shouldn't this rating be 1 star? I'm giving an additional star because the food that we DID see looked delicious. Oh well, we'll never know because Chicha's is more interested in getting paid rather than give customers a decent dining experience. read more

Tucked away like a hidden treasure filled with red diamonds, rare gems, and bricks of precious gold is the Chicha Peruvian Kitchen just off Sunrise Blvd. Our server educated us on the culture, their personal favorite dishes, and ensured that we felt like we were at home there. The bread is phenomenal and will surprise you with the favor and dense punch it packs for its stature. Whether you are craving seafood, fried food, or even something light and vegetarian you must experience the flavors and ambience of this beautiful cafe. I can not say enough about the food, ownership, staff, and vibe so I will end with the fact that I highly recommend you come in for yourself and bring your family, sit solo and absorb the atmosphere, or consider this cafe for an absolutely perfect date night! read more

I am a loyal customer and we went (a group of five people) to eat lunch at Chicha midtown. All of us were amply satisfied for the delicious Peruvian food. Thank you so much Chicha for the legendary gourmet of Peru! read more

The food was very flavorful and fresh and our waitress was very nice too. I would go back again and try a few more items!

Today was my first time ordering from here. Ordered the lomo saltado dish. It was real good and the to go portion was a good size. The waitress was very friendly. The restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated. The only complaint I have is the $5.00 charge for the to go soda. Too expensive compared to other restaurants around. I recommended this restaurant. read more

Chicha Peruvian Kitchen - Peruvian Near Me - Roseville, California

Are you in the mood for a different taste sensation, very delicious, that will take your taste buds WAY south of the border, WAY south of Mexico? Have you ever enjoyed authentic Peruvian cuisine, prepared by natives, who grew up in Lima, the capitol city of Peru? Chicha Peruvian Kitchen and Cafe is the newest Peruvian restaurant in Roseville, and this is an amazing restaurant! Chicha is one of the newer restaurants in Roseville, after opening their doors a couple months ago, on October 15th. As you enter the dining room, you'll be greeted by a friendly staff member who will seat you, and give you a menu. You'll feel comfortable in the inviting dining room, as it's large, very clean, with plenty of space between the tables. The decor is pleasant, with a few photos on the wall, and little of Peru here and there. At the rear of the dining room there is a desert case, along with a counter, which in previous days served as a buffet counter. The dining room features polished wood floors, pastel painted walls, and the matching furniture is all tables and chairs, as there are no booths. The atmosphere is very modern and inviting. From the "Lunch Menu," I went with "Pollo Saltado," and I went with an appetizer of "Corn Aguadito." Rolls and garlic butter are served with every lunch selection. My appetizer arrived in a medium bowl - about eight ounces - of what the menu describes as a "Lunch-Sized Appetizer." Today was my first time EVER to enjoy "Corn Aguadito" and was I ever in for a surprise, as this soup was simply amazing! Actually, the soup was more like a chowder, as the base was a thick, rich green, which resembled split pea soup. Added to this amazing base of chowder was kernels of fresh corn, diced red bell pepper, chopped green onion, along with diced cilantro. "Corn Aguadito" was not like anything that I've enjoyed before, and a new taste adventure! Simply saying, the soup reminded me of meatless split pea soup, with corn, bell pepper, green onion, and exotic seasoning, for a wonderful, new taste. Such a great bowl of soup! My lunch entree of "Pollo Saltado" arrived next. The menu describes it as, "Stir-fried chicken with onion, tomato, cilantro and soy sauce, served with French fries and garlic rice." The menu advertises the chicken as stir fried, but it seemed grilled to me, as it had a nice "coating' on the outside, and was tender and juicy inside. The chicken was marinated in soy sauce - Asian fusion - lightly seasoned, sprinkled with fresh cilantro and was bursting with flavor with every bite. "Stir fry" brings up the connotation of shredded or chopped chicken, which wasn't the case, as each piece of chicken was bite sized. Along with the chicken were strips of onion and tomato, which seemed to be grilled, rather than stir-fried. The chicken, along with the veggies were placed on a bed of French fries, drizzled with soy sauce, and sprinkled with diced, fresh cilantro. The menu states "Garlic Rice," but my lunch arrived with a large scoop of steamed rice. The marinated chicken was juicy, tender and very flavorful and worked well together with the grilled - stir fried? - onion, tomato and cilantro. Each bite was simply amazing! The rice was great with the soy sauce, and to enjoy with bits of the chicken and veggies. As you know, Peru is located in South America, and is a "Latin American" country, but Peruvian cuisine is a fusion of Asian, and European, which is in stark contrast to Mexican cuisine, which many people think of when it comes to dining south of the border. The cuisine of Peru is simply amazing, and the knowledge, expertise and loving care the staff at Chicha Peruvian Kitchen put into their food shows... and everything combines to make for a great dining experience! After enjoying my amazing lunch, the owners of the restaurant - who are also the chefs - came out of the kitchen to greet me. The owners are a couple who grew up in Lima, Peru, and have extensive culinary experience, as they owned and operated several restaurants in Lima before migrating to the greater Sacramento area, to be with family who live in the area. The owners are nice people and are very friendly, and welcomed me to their fine restaurant. The cuisine is delicious and is authentic Peruvian, lovingly and skillfully prepared for a Peruvian taste sensation. You'll love the food, along with the fast, friendly service, and the comfortable dining. For a true South American taste adventure, plan your next visit to Chicha Peruvian Kitchen and Cafe, located on Sunrise Ave., in Roseville, CA. read more

Food: 5/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Overall: 3.5/5 The food is delicious, very authentic. Classic flavors served in a no-frill fashion. The downside was the service. The waitresses are friendly and inviting, but it was incredibly slow. We were one of three parties at the tail end of the night, there was no reason it should have taken so long to be sat, order, get our food, and checkout. We had to look around trying to make eye contact every step of the way in a mostly empty restaurant. The food is great, so we might just stick to take out if our next experience is similar. read more

Really good food from the complimentary bread. A bit pricey. Serving was huge, me and hubby shared the lomo saltado with egg and ordered an appetizer - beef skewers (forgot the name).

The waitress was patient with us. She explained the various dishes and how they're prepared. Everything was delicious. read more

Best Peruvian restaurant in the area by far. I've moved from Bay Area to Roseville in 2018 and have been looking for a go to Peruvian place. Most in the area do not have the special kick of Peruvian taste. My husband and I went for lunch after a friend recommended it to us. My husband ordered Seco de Pollo, the chicken was very tender, and the cilantro based sauce was absolutely delicious. I had the arroz chaufa with chicken, similar to a fried rice but very unique taste that was also delicious! The restaurant itself was very clean, when first coming in the outside was okay but once you open the doors it has a completely different atmosphere. We were quickly sat down by the host who explained the menu. The food came out quickly. Lastly the owners are amazing as we were leaving one of the owners came to greet us. She was very friendly, and can tell she has put a lot of heart into her restaurant. Highly recommend this new Peruvian restaurant. read more

Don't be detured by the outside. It's in the corner of a shopping center and the curb appeal doesn't exactly draw you in but the moment you walk it you can see how nice this restaurant really is. Flat out, there's zero excuses for this restaurant to be quiet and slow at lunch time even on a Thursday. The food was exceptional. The staff was welcoming quick and very friendly. The ceviche was perfection; got the medium which had a nice zing to it but I think I'd go with spicy next time. The breaded fried fish was the crispiest perfection. My only critique is that the sauce with the fish was drenched across the fish so it lost its crispness and I didn't get to enjoy it as much as I would have liked. If the fish were set on top of the dish and sauce last there would be zero to complain about. The food was clearly fresh and made to order prepared with exceptional technique and so tasty. There should be a line around the corner at all times. I don't know what more I can say. No doubt we will be back read more

Wow so glad this resturant is 5 min away From us!! We were seated right away. No one else was inside except maybe owner and friends.i guess it's so new,no one knows how delicious they are.

She made me feel comfortable and the food came out on time!! We ordered Aji deGallina (pulled chicken cooked in Ahia Amarillo and peanut sauce served with garlic rice boiled egg slices and Peruvian olive),Corn Soup,pollo saltado(chicken stirfried with onions tomatoes and soy sauce served all over garlic rice, and french fries ) we also ordered beef hearts Anticuchos- traditional Peruvian street food two small skewers of beef hearts marinated in Aji panca served with grilled sliced potato and corn. My husband or my favorite Leche de Tigre chicha Carrerillera it's a Peruvian seafood cocktail with lime juice calamari octopus shrimp fish Peruvian chilies onion corn and fried calamari on top so delicious.

Many restaurants have tried this location and all have failed. It's a tuff little corner area to see, so I'm sure it's overlooked by most. But don't let that be you! Don't let this small place apparence from the outside fool you. It's actually very spacious and super clean inside and for those nice warm days, there's a cute patio dinning area to be enjoyed. This place is all but small, it's super BIG on taste! I've had three different dishes here and they've all been a hit!! I just finished Pascado A Lo Macho wow, you've gotta have this mouth watering deliciousness. Also, for those of you that like to enjoy a glass or bottle wine with dinner, they got you covered. So bring your appetite and friends because this is the new hidden gem that you will quickly fall in love with. read more

The very first time I had the buffet at this place, I really enjoyed everything I tried. Today, all the food was a ok, the seafood rice, didn't have seafood lol, and they were rushing us to pay the check, because I didn't know that they give you two hours only. And I always like to eat savoring the food and to chat with friends with whom I need to catch up about our busy lives. Weekends are when I don't like to be pushed around, specially when I'm eating. Not sure if I'll go back to this place. read more

Disappointing. I dont know how this place has such good reviews for the food. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing? We love Peruvian food. Just moving from the Bay Area we were on the hunt for something different and decided to eat here based on the reviews. We usually get Lomo Saltado so we stuck to the familiar since it was our first visit. I even got the pisco sour to keep it as close to my "usual" as I could get. My takeaways: Bland. Over priced. Server was super friendly. The place appeared clean and well loved by many - and I am glad so that this small restaurant can stay in business. We probably won't be back though. Good luck! read more

I didn't realize this gem was in this part of Roseville. It's more so on the edge of Roseville down Sunrise close to Citrus Heights. I've seen others review it in my feed so I had it bookmarked for a while. I came here with a friend and we shared beef empanadas, chicken antichuchos, arroz con mariscos, and leche de tigre ceviche. The chicken antichuchos were so tasty, juicy, and had a great flavor along with being grilled, they were delicious. The beef empanadas were sooo good, the dough they were in was great too. I believe you could order them individually so we ordered 2, they were medium sized and not the mini empanadas. The arroz con mariscos is like a Peruvian paella, it was yummy. They weren't chintzy on the seafood and the rice had a good flavor, the rice wasn't mushy either. Now the ceviche the waiter recommended, it was a mix of seafood shrimp, squid, and fish. It comes in a pretty big serving of a glass, we couldn't finish it along with the food we shared. It was so tasty and had plenty of seafood. All of our food was so good but my 2 favorites were the leche de tigre ceviche and the beef empanadas. I'll need to try their buffet next. read more
