Great restaurant! Free parking! Prices higher than your typical meal, but reasonable for a nice sushi restaurant Service was great, atmosphere was clean, food was delicious, lo mein was tasty and the spider roll and coconut shrimp rolls were amazing. The spring rolls and dipping sauce was flavorful

Our waiter Mike was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. Mike and even the owner went above and beyond to make our dining experience memorable. We felt well taken care of. We’ve eaten here so many times (today it was for my cousin’s birthday), we always have a great experience here each time!!!

My daughter made reservations for Friday night dinner. Party of 4. We ran into friends at the bar! My daughter reminded me that we actually ordered take from the first week we moved to Toms River. What amazing feel good vibes from our Server Dave!! Dave was fantastic! He checked in on us, cleared the table, replenished our water and poured our wine. BYOB Can I request Dave be our server when we come back ?? Food was yummy! Love the ginger salad, spicy rock & tempura shrimp and the veggie Lo Mein. Parking on site. Constant flow of customers. Notice lots of take out orders too. Highly recommend.

The food was very good. Very loud place, a very hectic place. I would diffently come back. Tom Yom soup is excellent. Lettuce wraps excellent.

This was our first time eating at Xina, and both my wife and I were blown away at how good everything was. I can honestly say the sushi is the freshest, melt in your mouth sushi we have ever had (and we both eat sushi often). The "Out of Control" Roll was amazing. The baked class with bacon and Japanese bechemel sauce was also amazing. I took a chance ordering the hanger steak special which was cooked perfectly and had a great spicy pineapple habenaro sauce. The service was great as well. We will definitly be returning here (and often). Third time here and OMG, this place is just amazing. I ordered a special thst was lobster, shrimp and scallops served over fried rice soaked in essentially a thicker version of egg drop soup. One of my friends ordered the Pad Thai noodles with shrimp, and my wife and her friend ordered the lamb chops and the coconut shrimp special.... and of course the baked clams were amazing as well as the sushi and everything else.

I had an incredible experience at Xina in New Jersey! From the appetizers to dessert, everything was absolutely delicious—every bite felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service really stood out. A special mention goes to Archil, who made the evening even better with his attentiveness and warm personality. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves, which truly elevated the entire dining experience. Xina is definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone looking for amazing food and exceptional service. I’ll be coming back for sure!

Xina was a good experience. You get to choose between a lovely view of the sea or a seat at the sushi bar (watching the sushi chefs at work is mesmerizing). Either way, you get great atmosphere here. Service was a bit slow, but to be expected in a place as busy as this. The food was great but not perfect. The lobster was not as fresh as we had hoped it’d be. The filet mignon was a bit bland, but cooked to tender perfection. The pork fried rice was also on the blander side but still good. The fried chicken dumplings were amazing! Overall I’d definitely come back and try more items.
