Since 2007, Ian McDowell has worked in the most popular sushi establishments in the Reno/Tahoe region to hone his craft. After making traditional sushi items for years McDowell started tantalizing his regular customers with special off menu items that have created a buzz. In 2015 he acquired his own establishment in the Meadowood Mall, and now he serves a menu inspired by those sushi creations seven days a week.

The main item on Santa Cruz Sushi’s menu is premium sushi wraps that are inspired by California’s Sushirrito® craze. These giant sushi rolls consist of the freshest locally sourced ingredients that are hand rolled into a wrap that is the size of a burrito. They have become a favorite for local Reno foodies and include options such as Spicy Tuna, Rainbow, Crispy Shrimp, Veggie, and more!

Our menu also features sides like fish tacos, cream cheese wontons, a tempura platter, miso soup, and more. For your dipping pleasure you can also enjoy sauces like homemade teriyaki, homemade ponzu, homemade spicy mayo, and Sriracha.
