Sushi was ok. The rolls looked different and pretty, but all kinda tasted the same. I did kinda like the thinner sliced sizes, but it did make hard them to stay together. Staff was nice. Sake was way too hot to drink or pick up. I had not been here in years.

Delicious! I called ahead to see if they could accommodate a group of 7, when we arrived the tables were set and ready for us. Excellent service and the food was SO good. If I visit Santa Cruz again I will definitely make a stop at Sushi Totoro!

Food was decent but the service was terrible. Waited 45 mins after ordering for our appetizer to come out and then another 20 for our food. Felt like a slap in the face when people placing take out orders next to us were told it would be a ten minute wait for a similar order.

Can I rate this restaurant with more than 5 Stars? The whole experience for me was fantastic!!! From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted! We sat at the sushi bar and we were lucky enough to meet the owner Kenny! I also had the opportunity to experience awesome sushi by Josh! Our server Faith was also awesome as she stayed on top of our orders! I have been to many Sushi restaurants and boy let me tell you…this place is hands down the BEST I’ve had so far! We left most of our order up to the chef and everything he prepared was super delicious! My FAVE was the Sashimi! The next time I visit Santa Cruz, Sushi Totoro will be my first stop! The little hole in the wall with a HUGE heart!!!

Great sushi place with an adorable theme. Gets crowded pretty quickly and sometimes the staff takes awhile to get to you but I’m glad the place is so busy. The sushi is great and definitely one of the fav places EVER

I cannot believe it’s taken me so long to write a review for this place. THIS restaurant is the place to go for sushi in Santa Cruz. I’ve been going here for a little over two years now and it’s absolutely the only place I go anymore for sushi. Incredible service, fresh fish, and just the most delicious rolls you’ve ever had. The fish melts in your mouth and basically the whole menu is delicious. The only thing I’d say is the miso soup is a bit overly salty, but that’s never been a problem for me. Can’t recommend Sushi Totoro ENOUGH! GO HERE!!

This used to be my favorite spot for sushi. Their rolls were amazing. Lately service been terrible. I gave it 3 chances because maybe the waitress was having a bad day. But all 3 times were the same. They throw the food on the table. When you ask for anything they get annoyed (e.g. sharing plates that should already be given) they don’t check in at all. Been very rude lately. It’s terrible I hate that this sushi spot is ruined for me. And sushi rolls were not as good This time at all They tasted very different one of the rolls tasted so off like some ingredient was bad

The delivery went quick, but everything was nightmare. No utensils, bad food quality, less say sauce and all of those roll crushed. I should have just ordered poke house.
