Xina Chinese Bistro - Toms River

Xina always exceeds our expectations! The beef tataki, spicy crab salad, and lettuce wraps are our go-to dishes. The salmon is consistently delicious and the sushi is top-notch. There are always special rolls that are absolutely amazing. And don't forget, it's BYOB!

I went to this restaurant on a Friday evening without reservations and it was fully booked. However, they accommodated us at the bar, where we had a great view of the sushi chefs preparing our food. The staff were friendly and attentive. We started with vegetable tempura, which was delicious, and a dragon roll that was outstanding. The roll was packed with flavor and had a nice spicy kick to it. For our main dishes, the walnut shrimp was incredibly tasty, although a bit on the sweet side. The lobster Cantonese was a bit disappointing as the sauce was bland and slimy, not quite what I was expecting. However, the lobster itself was fresh and meaty. The lamb chops were cooked perfectly and the pepper steak, made with filet mignon, was tender and flavorful. For dessert, we tried the pecan pie without pecans, which was basically a sugary delight. Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend making reservations. The BYOB policy is a plus, so don't forget to bring your own drinks.

The food at Xina is absolutely fantastic! The popularity of the restaurant is evident by how busy they always are. Be sure to make a reservation in advance if you want to dine at Xina. We especially enjoy their sushi and noodles. We highly recommend this sushi restaurant!

The food here was so good. Great service. I would recomend making reservations ahead of time if you can. They were very accomodating and gave us the option to sit at the sushi bar, which was perfect. We loved everything especially the baked clams,the Lamb chops and all the sushi is very fresh and well prepared, all portions were very generous. Our server James was awesome.I honestly can't wait to go back next time I visit!

One of my favorites. Great service and great food. You can walk in for lunch, but make sure you call for a dinner reservation or get take out. Sushi is the best around, and the portions of everything else is enough for two meals. You cannot go wrong withanything on the menu.
