"It’s not easy to get quality sushi quickly, but the Grubbies has managed to be a FiDi beacon for a quick bite of sashimi or unagi, served out of a takeout window on Sacramento Street. Go for the mini chef’s choice if you’ve got your mind set on sashimi or the nigiri combo. Orders come with a side of miso soup, perfect for warming up as the temperatures cool down." - Dianne de Guzman

"The Grubbies is a window on Sacramento Street where you can buy sushi box lunches every day until they close or run out. It’s on the expensive side, but the mini chef’s choice ($15) comes with miso soup, five types of sashimi and salmon roe, a container of sushi rice, some pieces of nori, and a kale salad with citrus dressing. Get your food and find a sunny spot to sit down and eat. This is an especially good place to stop if you’re having a fashion emergency because your lunch will come wrapped in a colorful scarf. Yep, really." - Taylor Abrams, Jess Basser Sanders, Will Kamensky

Wow - probably one of the best sushi I have ever had in San Francisco... The fish was very fresh! I got “mini Omakase” (chef’s choice, small) for $15. The small box (3.5 in x 3.5 in x 2 in) does not look like a lot, but it comes with a small package of sushi rice, miso soup, and a package of aji-nori (Japanese flavored seaweed), wrapped in a small wrapping cloth. For me that was more than enough food, but if you have a big appetite, the regular omakase is $39. I will definitely go back there.

I checked out this place while I was browsing on Ritual for my dinner take-out food. Actually I think I've seen lines in front of this place so I decided to order ahead of time. I ordered Mini Omakase and it took less than 10 minutes for it to get ready for pickup. They have that really lovely wrapping. Everything is just so neat and detailed. Sashimi is just fine. But I would recommend it to those who would like some fast but well prepared food to go. They close early by the way.

More than just a beautiful package for lunch! I got the Chef's Special which was well worth the $39. Wrapped in a gorgeous cloth, the special included an assortment of salmon, otoro, uni, scallops, tuna, salon roe, and other fish on a bed of cabbage and packed with sushi grade seasoned rice, miso soup, dried seaweed, soy sauce (in a cute fish container), and of course wasabi and ginger. I got lucky on my first try going there because they were sold out after me! Definitely worth going back for seconds and more!

The $30 Omakase bento box: delicious but had small sashimi pieces which were cut very thinly. Given this is a takeout counter with no places to sit, it is pricey. We are not big eaters but we were quite hungry afterwards.

Very thoughtful packaging. Fish is fresh and price is fair for what you get. I ordered my line so I am suppose to skip the line for pick up. But since there is just one line people in the queue gave me dirty looks for not following the line. It would be better if they have a separate sign for pick up to avoid confusion.

I work in the financial district and have wanted to try this place forever - in the past I was hesitant because of the high prices but today I finally decided to give it a try! Unfortunately it was about the become the most expensive meal but also the worst meal I have had here. I got the miyazaki wagyu set, which was priced at $39 plus tax. The "wagyu" - I have had miyazaki wagyu before and the beef did NOT taste like wagyu. The outside was hard and the inside was chewy. The portion was nothing like the pictures and were mostly broken pieces. The pickled vegetables - 2 pieces of carrots, 2 sliced pickles, and 1 sliced mushroom. All of them were tiny. The rice - also tiny portions. Finished in maybe 6 bites. Lastly, the restaurant owner did not allow payment over credit card, saying their "systems have been down". Instead, he suggested payment over cash or to an individual Zelle account, which he included tax amount also. Will he be reporting this income? VERY suspicious.

Fish is SUPER fresh!!!! They're quick, my order was ready before I finished paying! The only reason I'm giving them 4 stars is, it's really pricy for lunch. $15 for the Mini Omakase, but boy was it delicious!

Very cool little hole-in-the-wall sushi / sashimi takeout serving superb food. I tried the Uni special, which came from Japan. The Uni was delicious, served on a bed of salmon roe. The rice and miso that accompanied were really great. Your takeout comes in a lovely bundle, wrapped in a decorated cloth you get to keep. The price makes it a bit of a treat (my meal was $35) but worth it because of the quality. Friendly and efficient service.
