Xina

The two week reservation in the summer is justified, I suggest to keep that in mind. I’ve been here twice in two months, it’s now the fall of 2023. A small place just off of Seaside New Jersey. That has a nice size sushi bar. and probably 15 tables but the food is outstanding. It’s a BYOB place. My wife’s not a seafood eater and there’s several things on the menu that are delicious enough to keep her happy. I have ordered four different sushi rolls. All were great and unique and oyster appetizer, as well as spring rolls. All very good. I haven’t eaten at the sushi bar yet but it was full. Maybe holds 30 people. So it’s huge, but has a very nice view from across the toms River into the bay. Looking towards Seaside. Really nice vibe. New Jersey shore prices are like New York City prices you’re not getting out of here under $30-$50 if you have appetizers and a meal. The price might be faint of heart but with a BYOB policy it seems expensive but not for the area and not for the view those are both terrific

A wonderful experience with immensely tasteful food and incredibly attentive and friendly service. It’s BYOB too which is always a nice plus! Definitely worth the trip over the bridge if you’re staying in one of the nearby beach towns. We can’t wait to go back. Plenty of room for big parties and the portions are huge, we were stuffed.

Everything was amazing ! Crab salad was enough for two people but we still ate our own . Shrimp appetizer was great . Sushi rolls were fresh and it’s byob . We had the special collab with burger 25 and it was amazing ! I’d definitely consider keeping it as a special roll ! Wild drove 45 minutes and will definitely be back . I also think it’s a great value as all food was only 70 something.

Although I always thought the food was good, I haven’t been to Xina in years but we stopped in a few times this summer and it was outstanding! We were seated super quickly at the bar on a busy saturday and the service was great. Food was sooooo so good. Rock shrimp was perfectly crispy and saucy. Rolls were so fresh and delicious. Crispy rice spicy tuna was amazing! and the udon noodle special was so yummy. It is also byob! Can’t wait to come back!

As you can see from the overall star ratings, Xina knows its oysters and sushi. The discipline and gourmet knowledge to run both seafood categories almost create an international feeling when you enter. The ample seating space includes an extensive oyster bar and dozens of tables. I am a local to Tom's River and always see a whole house in the busy beach season and the off-season alike.

I’ve been coming here since the day they opened but since Covid really haven’t made too many trips down here. Well I’m kicking myself now for missing so many good meals because the food we just had was incredible. Local oysters are always winners, rock shrimp is so light and flavorful PERFECT appetizer, special rolls were so fresh, and the special entree of Seared tuna over udon noodles was to die for. Love the atmosphere too as it’s very refreshing and beachy vibes.

The food never disappoints! Appetizers are small, but perfect. As for the entrees, fried rice, and rolls are rather large and can be eaten the next day. Service of the wait staff is very different each time I go- nothing ever bad, but not consistent. The restaurant is very clean and organized and pretty spacious for the amount of tables they have.
