    I've been wanting to come here for a while and we made a reservation to celebrate two of our friends birthdays. We seated right away after we checked in. It's a modern, coastal concept and very right and inviting once you're inside. It took a second for someone to come over to us, but after the initial interaction, the service was really good. We started off with the ginger salad, and the dressing was awesome, the rock shrimp, which I loved and surprisingly was not too spicy for me and the coconut shrimp roll, which was good. For dinner we got the general tsos chicken which I thought was just okay- it had a kick and the xo fat noodles which I loved. We added beef, which I wasn't crazy about, but the noodles and themselves were awesome, I've never had anything like that. They ended up bringing out dessert for the birthdays which was so nice and it was really good. It was a light and airy vanilla type of cake. The manager was great, we got along so well with him and he was also very attentive. Can't wait to come back!

    Swanky upscale spot that you need to go to. Perfect for date night. Or if you're like me, to grab a bite before the next meal. Had some small plates - oysters, scallop and shrimp toast, and lobster dumplings. Service was very friendly and I would love to go back there to try more.

    Waiting for a few months before we tried this new Xina we were very pleased with our recent dining experience. The food, service and ambience were all top notch. The only nit was their sushi bar looks like an after thought not being very large or functional. So if that is your thing stick with their original location in Toms River where their sushi bar rules. Otherwise all other aspects of their Bradley Beach operation are first rate including their excellent service delivery. Please see the attached photos for comments on the food. Bottom line: food (5) service (5) ambience (5) - Overall highly recommended!

    This place is new. Previously a 7-11 was here. It is small, so make a reservation especially in summer. The restaurant is open, modern, too bright. Tables for two are tiny and way too close to each other. Even half-full, the ambiance is noisy. So, why did I rate Xina 5 stars? First of all, it is a BYOB. Consider how much you will save compared to a restaurant serving alcohol - a $12 bottle of wine selling for $35 then add tax and tip and that wine cost you $45. Second, service by Lauren was very attentive, friendly and funny. Third, and most important the food is delicious. Last evening, we dined early (had a reservation). We started with a scallion pancake with a bowl of burrata, honey etc. Yummy. For entrees, we had Walnut Shrimp and Lamb Chops, sharing. Sooooo good! (See my photos) We will definitely be back.

    Chanced it on a Friday night without a reservation. They were fully booked, but as a party of two we only waited ~30 minutes (we would've been happy at the sushi bar, but luckily scored a table!). Portions were bigger than expected--plenty for sharing, and we couldn't finish everything. Here's what we tried: - Spice is Riight Roll (tuna, salmon, jalapeño, spicy tuna, deep-fried, wasabi + eel sauce): DELICIOUS! - XO Fat Noodles with Pork: Thick rolled noodles with veggies and XO sauce--also really good. - Spicy Chongqing Chili Chicken: Just okay for us; would've liked it saucier. Minus one star for service and atmosphere details--our server didn't mention the specials, forgot serving spoons even though we were clearly sharing (we noticed other tables got them), and the smoke from a neighboring table's Wagyu grill wasn't ideal. Still, overall a great spot for date night or smaller group with generous portions, flavorful rolls, and worth the visit if you're in the area!

    Spicy Crab and Cucumber Salad

    Described as a Sushi & Oyster Bar Chinese Bistro. XINA Bradley Beach is located at 415 Main Street. Not to be confused with the popular Toms River original location, this spot has similar offerings but it's own flair. Inside is clean and crisp, very minimalist. Service is great and the food is delicious. We enjoyed and recommend it all: ~Ginger salad ($8) - mixed greens, cucumber, tomato, ginger ~Spicy Crab & Cucumber Salad ($10) ~Pad Thai ($18) - add chicken to the rice noodles, celery, carrots, bean sprouts, smoked tofu, egg, Thai basil, peanuts ~General Tsos Chicken ($23) - breaded chicken breast, peppers, onions, chili spicy chongqing Dishes are served family style so fun to share. Plenty of food to even split but everything we had was amazing and we took the leftovers home.

    I think I got a head of myself with the ordering! Started with the scallion pancake just for myself because I know how good it is. Also ordered the angry dragon roll which was good but I didn't love the mango in it, my fault. They had a bulgogi fried rice special which I was unfortunately only able to have a few bites before being extremely full. However, it made for excellent leftovers! Small, intimate space that can get quite loud at times but enjoyable to share a meal with friends!

    Short Summary: Two weeks ago I visited Xina in Bradley Beach. In short, it was a great experience. The menu has some traditional Asian and sushi options but also offers adventurous twists. The sushi was outstanding--the fish was very fresh, clearly of high quality, and beautifully presented. You can tell the chefs take pride in what they serve. The servers were extremely welcoming and friendly, especially Sasha and Ana. I would definitely come back if I lived nearby, and next time I'm in Jersey, I'll be sure to stop by again. Detailed Review: My girlfriend and I came here on a Thursday night and were surprised at how busy it was. The quoted wait time was 45 minutes, but it ended up being a little shorter--keep in mind this was just for seats at the sushi bar. I would highly recommend a reservation ahead of time if possible. Right away, Sasha greeted us with a warm welcome. Before we were even seated, she walked us through the menu, shared her personal favorites, and gave recommendations. This was incredibly helpful and saved us a lot of time deciding what to order once we sat down. When we were seated at the sushi bar, our server Ana introduced herself and got us settled in. Throughout the evening, Sasha also came back to check on us, which made the experience feel very personal and attentive. One unique aspect here is that the restaurant doesn't sell alcohol but allows you to bring your own wine or beer. We saw several tables enjoying their own bottles, and it added to the lively, social vibe of the place. Scallion Pancake: Delicious. Scallion pancakes are a Chinese staple, and while simple, they paired them here with burrata, chili crisps, hot honey, and scallions. Normally, I'd call it a crime to eat scallion pancakes with anything other than a soy-based dipping sauce. Burrata sounded ridiculous...but somehow it worked. Surprisingly good, and one of the more creative dishes of the night. I would definitely order again. Scallop & Shrimp Toast: I love shrimp toast, so I was excited for this. Xina's version adds scallop and a sweet yuzu glaze. While I appreciate the creativity, I personally found it lacking in shrimp flavor--the star of the dish. On top of that, the yuzu was overly sweet, which threw the balance off. For me, this one missed the mark. I wouldn't order it again, but I respect the effort to put a new spin on a classic. Nigiri: The eel and aburi salmon nigiri were phenomenal. The eel was cooked perfectly, and the salmon was buttery and literally melted in my mouth. I could easily come here and just order nigiri all night. Truffle Toro Roll: This roll came recommended by Sasha and included tuna, toro, cucumber, shiso, truffle soy, and black tobiko. While it looked beautiful, the truffle flavor was overwhelming and drowned out the delicacy of the tuna and toro. After two pieces, it was tough to keep going. If you love truffle, this might be right up your alley, but for me, it was too much. Still, I respect that they're pushing boundaries and trying bold combinations. General Tso's: An absolute standout. The chicken was fried perfectly--juicy inside with a crisp exterior that held up even under the sauce. I loved the stir-fried peppers mixed in, which added a great texture. My only critique is that the sauce leaned a little too sweet. Dialing it back would make an already excellent dish even better. Overall: Xina is a gem in Bradley Beach. The atmosphere is energetic, the service is warm and attentive, and the food is a balance of tradition and bold experimentation. Not every dish landed for me, but the ones that did were unforgettable, and even the misses showed thought and creativity. I'd rate Xina a solid 4.5 stars, but since Yelp doesn't allow half-star ratings, I rounded up to 5 because it's definitely closer to 5 than 4. Between the quality sushi, unique menu, and top-notch hospitality, I would recommend Xina to anyone visiting the area. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Jersey.

    This spot was great. We went on one of its opening nights, so the menu was still soft launching. Everything I ate was so delicious--no complaints at all. I first had the scallion pancakes which were excellent. The chili burrata with hot honey truly made the dish. It was so unique, creamy, and yum. The wagyu was also awesome--we loved cooking the meat on the hot stone. It felt like an activity within the meal. Plus, it tasted great. The roasted duck in the bao buns were tender & delicious. All of the servers were friendly and helpful. I liked the atmosphere as well. I always dig an open kitchen. The vibe was simple--a crème/beigey color scheme furnished with stone/wood/clay decor. I think it looked clean & sleek. Overall, I recommend this restaurant. It's one of the best meals you can get in the area.

    I've never been to the Toms River location and this one recently opened up in Bradley Beach so I had to give it a try. The service was fairly quick and we stuck with sushi for the main meals , although the entrees and other options look great and a must try next time especially the Rice Rolls. Highly recommend the appetizers , didn't have a bad experience with any of them.

Inside, the decor is beautiful and polished with Vietnamese straw hats and taxi bikes. There's plenty of tables and only few customers. We were quickly greeted by two staff by the door and got seated with menus. I noticed the karaoke stand and stage, but there was no one singing at the time so they must have karaoke on certain occasions or time. We looked at the menu and it looked pretty impressive. When we were ready to order, no staff are around. Five minutes later, our waitress showed up and took our orders. For appetizers, we had the mini crepes and my entree, vermicelli special which included grilled pork and shrimps and a spring roll. The crepes were a bit undercooked and it's not as crispy as it should be. I was also a bit disappointed with my entree. The vermicelli noodles were overcooked so the noodles were broken into smaller strands. The fish sauce was pretty bland. I really wanted to like this place but sadly it was a letdown. I would rate this really 2.5 stars but our waitress was nice so feeling generous here with 3 stars. I'm not sure if we will ever come back. My husband was also disappointed with his entree. We have our fair share of Vietnamese food so we know good authentic cooks when we try a dish. I guess it was also a tale tell sign when the restaurant didn't have much customers on Valentine's Day.

    Taka is located on the corner of a busy street in Asbury Park and is deceptively huge restaurant…read more Lovely calming interior colors (wood and red tones) with simply appointed decor and intimate lighting. The sushi is fresh and tasty, we enjoyed the seared scallop appetizer. My sushi (Tiger roll) was magnificent. The Yuzu lobster roll could have had a bit less rice in the roll but was otherwise very enjoyable. The combination of fish in this roll paired very nicely together. Taka has a vast menu with many options from appetizers to specialty sushi options. They provide alcoholic and non alcoholic mocktails for those of us not interested in consuming liquor.....the mocktails are fantastic. The only thing that made me rate 4 instead of 5 stars was the staff needs a bit of work on serving. We ordered an appetizer and were also given two additional small plates since we were sharing this item. When we were done with the appetizer our specialty sushi plates were bought out and the same server left the three empty plates from the appetizers on the table instead of removing them. Dessert was absolutely decadent and moist (I omitted the whipped cream since I don't like it) but the shortcake was perfect without it. I look forward to returning to Taka and trying more items on the menu.
