CITRUS HEIGHTS, CA (MPG) - O Tasty Mongolian BBQ, a nail salon and spa, and a gourmet donut bakery are three new business which will be opening soon in the Copperwood Square shopping Plaza at 7056 Sunrise Blvd.

Representatives of the O Tasty Mongolian BBQ, which is now under construction in one of three suites in the strip retail building say they are looking towards a March 2026 opening date.

Exterior marquee signage featuring the word “tasty” in large prominent black letters, and a pair of chopsticks placed on top of a circular bowl-shaped letter “O” was recently installed over the restaurant’s front entrance.

Inside the 3,200-square foot restaurant space, construction crews were busy tending to the completion of kitchen fixtures and equipment.

Nearby, construction work continued inside the new Citrus Heights location of Folson-based Gateway Nails & Spa which will be opening their newest salon at 7056 Sunrise Blvd. in Suite C. A company representative did not respond to a request for comment.

The Copperwood Square Shopping Plaza is located at the northeast corner of Sunrise Boulevard and Woodmore Oaks Drive, is anchored by the retail grocer FoodMaxx, Planet Fitness and Dollar Tree.

O Tasty Mongolian BBQ had previously operated in the Westfield Galleria at Roseville for more than 10 years prior to its closure last year, according to the Sacramento Business Journal.

Prior customers described O Tasty Mongolian BBQ in their reviews as a “tasty and affordable dining experience” in the Roseville Galleria. Service was described in Yelp reviews as “quick and efficient,” where customers enjoyed watching the entertainment of watching their food being cooked on the large circular griddle.

In addition to the O Tasty Mongolian BBQ and Gateway Nails & Spa, both actively under construction, there’s something decidedly “BAD” which is coming soon to Citrus Heights, said Andy Jonsson of the ROME Real Estate Group in Sacramento, who represented the landlord in the multiple lease deal signed last fall.

Just next door to Starbucks, BAD Bakers, a locally based bakery, will open their third area location in a 1,100-square-foot space featuring a menu of gourmet cake doughnuts, kronuts and raised doughnuts all with an eclectic assortment of toppings, in addition to various breads all baked fresh daily, according to its website.

BAD Bakers have additional locations in Folsom, Elk Grove and on Exposition Drive, near Cal Expo.

A local representative for the Folsom franchise location of BAD Bakers could not respond to a request for comment about likely opening date of the new Citrus Heights location which is listed on the corporate website as “coming soon.”
