Great sushi, fresh sashimi and amazing service every time
Perfect little casual spot, but over the top adorable Totoro chalk art, this is a new family favorite.
Best sushi in Santa Cruz :)

Sushi Totoro is a popular local spot with a fun and cozy atmosphere. Known for its incredible fresh sashimi and high-quality food, it offers beautifully decorated rolls like the pink Dragon and generous portions of varied fish such as escolar. The restaurant features a small, intimate dining room decorated with creative Studio Ghibli art and Polaroids of guests, although the original Polaroid wall has been replaced with new wall art that is equally beautiful. The friendly staff, including skilled chefs, prepare dishes with care, offering hand-rolled sushi, sashimi, nigiri, and chirashi sushi. The menu also includes non-sushi options such as tempura, katsu, and garlic spicy edamame. The restaurant is known for its funny roll names and affordable prices, making it a great choice for dates, special occasions, and families. Recent improvements by the new owners have enhanced the quality of the rolls, and small details like mini-games and fun art add to the welcoming environment. Located in a small mall corner, Sushi Totoro remains a beloved spot with a nostalgic charm and a menu that keeps customers coming back.
