Sit down is not much better, as you're being serviced by kids. It's awesome to have summer jobs for locals, but when you have very few cooks and are being served by people who are going back to HS/University next month, it's really bad. If you really want sushi in Normandy, give yourself a few hours, otherwise go elsewhere.

Not sure why there are two separate listings for Blu Sushi on Yelp (one of them is a three star…read morerating and the other is a four star rating). It's also a little confusing that here on Yelp it is called Blu ,spelt "BLU" and the sign in front of the restaurant spells it "BLUE" Sushi. The dual listing and dual spelling are both are minor points but it may be indicative that this sushi restaurant is a little disorganized. The staff are lovely, smiley people, and their service is good. We chose to sit outside which has much better ambience in my opinion. The sushi is good, my only negative is that the pieces are rather small, especially given the high price. Still, it's the only sushi between Lavallette and Point Pleasant, so that may account for the appeal.

This place is quite the gem. I've been several times, and I've always been so pleased. Our latest…read morevisit was on a Sunday at the end of April as ten of us women celebrate the "End of Winter" each year, and we like to be near the coast and boardwalk even though we're from all parts of New Jersey. Xina is very special and has become our go-to for this annual event. For those who prefer hot entrees, their menu is creative and abundant, and everything is fresh as can be. I saw the salmon marinated in miso and served with black coconut sticky rice entree that looked incredibly enticing, and I heard that it was beyond delicious. For those of us who can't wait to savor their sushi and sashimi offerings, we wait all year for the freshest and the best! A few of us don't order the standard tuna, yellowtail, and salmon... we go for what's less of an American's choice, and this time around we SAVORED (amongst other things) the sweet shrimp (amaebi) which are cold-water northern prawns with a delicate, sweet flavor and creamy texture. Most people don't even know. The extra delight is that the top half/delicate shell and head of each shrimp is lightly deep fried and presented alongside the shrimp - a delicious accompaniment with a bit of umami flavor. Xina is the ruler against which I measure the goodness of every other sushi bar I visit during the year. The Best.

Good Enough We…read morevisited this restaurant in mid-September 2025. It is located on the Seaside Heights Boardwalk. We sat on the back deck, at a "rocking table," which was fun (although be careful you knock your drinks on yourself!). Service was pleasant and efficient. The food was OK - the nachos were basically some chips and dip, certainly nothing fancy. The portions of the entrees (such as quesadillas and tacos) were good and filling. The drinks were great - we especially loved the "buckets!" I'd rate this restaurant a 3.5...but since there are no "half-stars" and since it's on the Boardwalk (where pizza is considered a food group), I'll bump it up to 4. But that's a "4" on the Boardwalk - anywhere else, it's maybe a 3. Overall: If you're looking for a decent, family-friendly place to sit down and eat on the Boardwalk, this is a good choice. Thanks

Everything was really cute. There were three separate areas where you could get different food .I don't remember our bartender's name, but she was extremely nice.

The hostess sat us in the bar area, which was fine, but seemed an odd choice. Our waitress came over for a drink order before I had even picked up the menu. My wife quickly ordered the Ginger Minty Paloma and I had an Old Fashioned. Wifey's drink was amazing and tasted like 14 more. Mine was just ok, but when you drink them fairly regularly there's not much you can do to make them 'different.' We decided to just split our food. We ordered a Wedge Salad - they put a balsamic glaze on it and it was REALLY GOOD. This came very quickly. We split The Rocco Pizza - vodka sauce, cheese and pieces of fried chicken cutlet. Unfortunately, this was a miss for us. The taste was fine, but neither of us liked the crust and wasn't hot enough. Didn't seem like your normal 'brick oven pizza.' We also split a 'small plate' of linguini and clams. This was just ok as well. The fresh clams were great, but the others were pretty chewy. The whole plate also needed salt. Service was pleasant and fairly quick, but the food was overall just ok. The place itself looked like it would be pretty fun if I was in my 20s. There was a band setting up and I bet the place gets pretty loud.
