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.

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.

My mom and I stumbled in while exploring the Jersey coast and left completely obsessed. We went all in on the menu: tuna salad (free starter for the table), clam chowder, a warm lobster roll, and two sushi rolls, the Wow Roll and the Out of Control Roll. The coconut shrimp in the Wow Roll was a standout moment. Light, crispy, and perfectly balanced. The warm lobster roll was generous and satisfying! Service was friendly and quick without feeling rushed. They have a connected indoor seating area and a covered outdoor space, the indoor space was packed.

We started with chowder, one Manhattan and one New England- both fantastic. Two appetizers- the fried clam strips and the tuna tartare sushi - another win/win! For the entrees we took one from the specials, a blackened Mahi Mahi with lemon mashed potatoes and green beans which was sublime. For the other we tried a lobster taco that came with a choice of salad or hand cut fries. We went the fry route. They were great. Notes: it's a small place, they do not take reservations so you will wait for a table, however, they will text you when it's ready. They do sell wine or byob - your choice. They have a fish market and their own fishing boats and are proud to serve their own caught fish. This seems to be a local favorite in the Point Pleasant area. It will be crowded- it will be worth the wait. Come comfortable, it's laid back and it's all about enjoying really good seafood!

The staff greeted me mid afternoon with smiles and warmth. I settled in and examined a very impressed menu choosing the sushi lunch special, which is priced just right.

The salad was simple but cold and crisp with the typical Japanese salad dressing coating the salad without being watery. My sushi rolls featured fresh fish whose taste satisfied.

The employees are terrific, great personalities and you can tell they love working there. Modern setup with an open kitchen and sushi bar. The food is excellent, portion sizes are on the larger side. Fantastic opportunity to over order and share with a group. My favorite items included: the 20oz lobster tail special with Walnut Shrimp. Fried perfectly and sauced nicely. The pork chops are a can't miss, fork tender! The Bacon Egg and Cheese fried rice was as good as I thought it would be, just get it. The sushi dinner plate was tremendous, the fish is sliced perfectly and extremely fresh. I will come back for another visit before summer.

This new venue is definitely smaller than the original, but maintains a clean minimalist aesthetic. The server could not have been more helpful or accommodating and had a very intimate knowledge of seemingly every item on the menu, including the extensive list of specials. We began with dumplings, calamari salad, and some tuna sushi rolls. The dumplings were perfectly satisfactory and hit the spot just right for when you're craving a dumpling. Dipping sauce complimented them well. Additionally, the sushi rolls had incredibly flavorful and fresh tasting tuna. Lastly, the calamari salad, being the most unique of the bunch, was definitely the star. It had a mild flavor, that was brought out and paired perfectly with their wonderful in-house sauce. My entree was the xo fat noodles and they were nothing short of fantastic. It had wonderful flavor, a good assortment of veggies and proteins, in a very generously sized portion. This may be my new go-to, as I will certainly be making a return visit.
