Best tastes of India

various sauces. On the UFO Roll, the sauce was a creamy, unattractive sea surrounding little bay scallops, crab and avocado. It tasted much better than it looked. My gang of four also favored: the Smoked Dragon Roll, with tempura shrimp, crab and smoked salmon; Unagi Deluxe, roasted eel on top; Rose Roll, spicy tuna and avocado; Hamachi Deluxe, each with a piece of yellowtail on top, and the Lion King roll, although it was topped with chef’s sauce. The Spider Man is not a great venue for soft-shell crab, flabby rather than crispy. The misnamed Wild Pig Roll, however, is a nice counterpoint to all the seafood. It’s a tame combination of fried pork and cucumber. From the list of two-piece nigiri sushi, quail eggs come with three varieties of fish eggs. We liked the medium-size ikura. Sushi 85 is tucked into the elbow of the gangly Grant Road shopping center that holds Marshalls at one end and the Asian supermarket 99 Ranch at the other. Sushi 85 is at the 99 Ranch end. It is named for nearby Highway 85. I guess 82, the number for El Camino Real, which is even closer, was taken. Except for round lampshades and a few posters, Sushi 85 could be pizza place, with a largescreen TV for sports. Unlike many sports bars and All You Can Eat eateries, Sushi 85 is not a barn, but a room comfortably holding large parties and small families. A young couple brought their baby for date night. Sushi 85 stirs up a lot of combat on Yelp. Opinions run hot and heavy, loaded with ammo ranging from “Gluttony heaven!� to “We should have turned and ran for the hills.� We had a good time and left full but not sickened. The way I look at All You Can Eat places, it’s fun to think you’re betting against the house, but best to let the house win. V
