Xina was on point yesterday for dinner. We’ve been here many times before and are always taken care of. I love introducing this restaurant to people who haven’t dined here before. Our server was the best and the food was so delicious. We ordered a mix of cooked meals and sushi. Our reservation was set for 5pm. It was a great crowd and atmosphere. You can just tell everyone was in a good mood because of the warm weather we’ve been having.

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).

Based on the reviews, I was very excited to try out this location. The taste of the food is pretty solid, except the Pork Chop Dish, which I do not recommend. The broth of the Pho was good, the Vermicelli was delicious as well, but the portions of everything were extremely small in comparison to the price. Our server was very friendly, but he wasn't very good at his job. He would slam the menus on the table and unfortunately, the same approach was given when our cups of water were set on our table, which naturally led to spilled water all over our table. He also got multiple orders incorrect, and I thought it was only our table, but every takeout customer that came in also dealt with the same issue. It's a decent spot if you're hungry for Pho, but I wouldn't recommend it as a first choice.

We have dined at this restaurant and recently ordered take-out as well. The pho has a rich depth of spices and herbs, achieved through long cooking hours, which is well executed at this establishment. Additionally, there is a generous portion of the selected meats.

The sushi quality was fresh, but there were definitely some things left to be desired... First, we were seated at a small round table when they were much larger more comfortable tables available and no one will seated after us, so it should be clear that we're not taking a table for four for two people. There were plenty of tables available but they stuck us in a small table because it was more convenient for them not to make up a new table. Second, the sushi combo prices were definitely on the high side for Toms River. I was a little shocked to be honest. Worse, the sushi dinner was lacking in several ways. First, many sushi dinners usually include a salad or miso soup or both. This was strictly à la carte. Second, instead of a nice assortment of sushi like the traditional sushi dinner would provide, it was a limited number repeated. The other issue with the sushi is that the nigiri rice was packed very loose and easily fell apart when I picked it up. I made sushi myself many times or parties and events, so I know a little bit what I'm talking about. The rice should have been more compact. In all fairness to this restaurant, mini sushi places already have gone to this same model of offering only a few different pieces as variety. More traditional Japanese restaurants will still serve the larger assortment. Now comes the mistake... I specifically ask before I was served how many pieces and what's the difference between small medium and large which was priced at $35, $70 and up. I was told it's based on how many people are dining. No discounts for larger quantities. I was told I would get nine pieces of sushi and a spicy tuna roll. For $35 that's the minimum I would expect. However, when the dish was served it was only six pieces. I mentioned the oversight and there was some discussion, they blamed it on a new sushi chef and gave me three more of the same pieces I had already eaten. I mentioned that since they made a mistake maybe they could slip me one piece that I'd really like, the waitress said she'd talk to someone and never responded after that. I guess the answer was no and she didn't want to deliver the bad news. In terms of the waitress, that was the highlight of the day. She was perky, pleasant, and it wasn't her fault that only six sushi pieces showed up. It would have been nice to get my water glass filled from time to time during the dinner, but she was working the room by herself so don't fault her for that. Overall it was a nice dinner, the sushi quality was very good and very fresh. Top quality. The venue is good, very spacious with lots of meeting area. Big generous bar that was still open when we left. I like the place and I may go again, but it's definitely a splurge for what you're getting in my opinion. If you feel the pleasant waitress and the beautiful setting is worth it, then go!

Went for dinner there last night. Everything was exceptional from service to food. As a matter of fact, we will be back on Sunday. I can't say enough about the quality and taste of the food! Appetizer was steamed dumplings and dinners were Beef and Broccoli & Curry Chicken! Excellent!!!

I recently had the pleasure of dining in at the new Honeygrow location in Toms River, and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt clean, modern, and inviting for a perfect for a casual meal that still feels thoughtfully prepared. The ordering process was smooth and convenient with their touchscreen kiosks, offering a wide range of stir-fry, salad, and honeybar options. I went with the Seasonel Stir-Fry, and it was absolutely delicious. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the vegetables were fresh and crisp, and the sauce had just the right amount of heat and depth of flavor. You can tell they use quality ingredients and take pride in offering healthier, wholesome options. What really stood out was how quickly everything was prepared and served, even with a steady flow of customers. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure the dining area stayed spotless. If you’re looking for a spot that balances fast service with great-tasting, customizable meals, Honeygrow is a fantastic choice. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu!

I knew from the moment I walked in that I was about to have a great meal. You order what you want from a kiosk (you can ask for a recipe if needed). Everything you order can be customized to your liking. There are plenty of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. I ordered the Sweet Soy Five Spice with chicken instead of turkey meatballs and then added additional veggies. My meal was delicious! There was a bit too much sauce for my liking but I can easily just ask for less sauce or to have the sauce on the side next time (there will definitely be a next time). The serving size was perfect! Plenty of food to fill me up but not too much where I feel wasteful throwing what’s leftover out. There are plenty of seating options and they are laptop friendly with charging ports at the bench seats. There are also gender neutral bathrooms that were clean, which is always nice to see. The employees were all very friendly as well. I plan to come back in the VERY near future to try their Honeybar (dessert) selection.

P The food is certainly not authentic Japanese and the sushi is maybe like imitation at best. It is not fresh. It is not actually that good at all in any way shape or form of quality and they are certainly not Japanese. It's Chinese run and it was extremely expensive by far the most expensive sushi restaurant in Ocean and Monmouth county. I highly would never recommend anyone going here. It is horrible. I threw up multiple times. I tried to get a refund and they didn't give me one and it was just not a good experience at all. I will never be returning here. They will never be getting my business.

I would like to start off by saying I have eaten there many times. Unfortunately today was the worst. As we sat down we were given a menu. We ordered Filet Minion hibachi dinner. The soup and salad came immediately. We didn’t get a chance to finish the soup and salad when the chef came and started cooking. He went through the whole “show” in such a rush it was like he had a train to catch. The noodles were undercooked and tasteless. The Filet Minion was tasteless. The meal itself was so rushed. The waitress brought to go containers while we were still eating and took our ice cream order while we were still in the middle of our meal. I spoke to a manager who was very nice and agreed with everything we said. He saw exactly what was happening and he apologized for the bad meal. We get our check and he did nothing to accommodate us. I said something to him and he said he told the waitress to give us a reduction. He came back with the 20% reduction. This was a terrible meal and I was a very unsatisfied customer. He said he would call the boss to see what could be done. After a few minutes he came back and told us that is all he could do. This is the reason why many small restaurants fail. They don’t own up to and fix their problems. Unfortunately Ichiban is a terrible value for your money and has terrible customer service.

Always a fantastic dinner at Ginza. We aim to try a new menu item each time we come, and this week it was the Tuna Pizza. Wow! So delicious and will become a regular staple for us. Also pictured are the Kami Kazi Roll and Mickey Mouse roll which were fantastic.

We had a sushi lunch here today. We started with the peppered tuna mango appetizer, with sauce on the side. It was delicious! Then we shared the lunch special, which includes miso soup, ginger salad and 3 rolls for $15! Awesome! And why not a bit of green tea and red bean ice cream for dessert. Service was exceptional.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chili’s Grill & Bar is always a great choice for a delicious and satisfying meal! The menu has something for everyone, from sizzling fajitas and juicy burgers to their famous baby back ribs that are absolutely mouthwatering. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The service is always friendly and attentive, making sure your dining experience is enjoyable. The atmosphere is fun and inviting, whether you’re there for a casual family dinner, a night out with friends, or just grabbing a quick bite. Plus, their margaritas are some of the best around—perfectly mixed and refreshing! With great food, great drinks, and great service, Chili’s never disappoints. Highly recommend for a fun and tasty meal!

Me and my friends go here often and it's always a great experience. Their food hasn't disappointed me, and the vibes inside are very chill with great service.

We usually go to the Fischer location when we're in the area and it's always 5 stars, great pizza and salad. We decided to get take out from this location because it's closer to home. The pizza was completely different and the cardboard box literally stunk like dirt. Also forgot our salad dressing

We frequently dine in and order from the Manchester location. In restaurant we always have a great experience. Good food and friendly service. When we order, we have never had an issue and usually delivery arrives early.

Delicious authentic Filipino food! We ordered Dinuguan, Pork Sisig, Kare Kare with a size of shrimp paste and Papaitan with garlic rice. Everything was so good! The staff is nice and the food is a great price. The store beside the restaurant is a plus too! They’ve got good authentic Filipino snacks and groceries!

An absolute disgrace. It’s Christmas Eve and after waiting an hour an a half on line they told us they didn’t have our food and to come back. They had the ticket but not the food. No offer to fix the problem just come back. Terrible business

3.5* is more accurate, I want to put 4* so bad but I'm pissed they shrinkflation'd their mozzarella sticks. They might as well be using frozen ones. They used to be so good like true boardwalk mozzarella sticks Anyway, for the good stuff - Insanely good fries and garlic ranch dip - My favorite mint chocolate chip shake (the thin mint one) - Their peanut butter shakes are also really good - One of their burgers of the month (Nov?) was the Tailgater and my absolute favorite burger of all time. It was weirdly not too much. Patty, onion bun, chili, Fritos, and chipotle mayo. I wish it was still on the menu - Prices still reasonable for me, plus insane fries portion - Cookie dough balls I wish their bacon was actually extremely crispy (think of Jersey Mike's bacon) I've seen a lot of people mention their quality went down since they expanded. I have been with Burger 25 since before COVID started and at their og location, and it was definitely better then, but by no means bad now as long as they keep their fries the way they are and don't go crazy on prices

We had a nice experience at Burger 25! We ordered the Classic Cheeseburger with onion rings and the Mushroom Swiss Burger with fries—both were delicious. The service was quick and friendly, and everything came out fresh and hot. We were too full to try the milkshakes this time, but they looked amazing, so we’ll definitely be back for them.

We absolutely love KPot! The quality of the food and service is always great, and we visit about once a week. Our 4-year-old enjoys it just as much as we do! We’ve been to multiple locations, but the Toms River location is by far our favorite. The service is always excellent, and the food comes out in a timely manner. I do have two small complaints. 1. We dined in on Valentine’s Day and were charged the holiday dinner price, which is understandable. However, if we’re being charged dinner pricing for a holiday, I believe the hot food selection should reflect that. That day, the only hot food options were sesame seed balls, egg rolls, and fries. I would have expected shrimp and chicken to be available as they are during regular dinner service. (We came in at noon 2/14/25) 2. We ordered teas to go, and my husband, who is sensitive to cold drinks, requested a Thai tea with no ice. When the drinks arrived, his was noticeably not full. I didn’t mention it at the time since it wasn’t the waiter who made the drink, but I feel like drinks should be filled to the top regardless of ice. Many other places we’ve ordered from still provide a full cup even without ice. I’ve included a picture to show what we received.( 6:00 pm 2/21/25) Aside from these two issues, everything else was fantastic! KPot is a great place to bring family and friends, and we’ll definitely continue coming back.

Editing to add pics! I wish I had pictures to share...but we were too excited to eat. We did the all you can eat BBQ and hot pot for lunch. We got there when they opened to avoid the crowd...great idea! We did mostly the spicy beef BBQ with some of the vegetables....definitely spicy! Get some daikon to mellow it out! For the hot pot we chose the Tom Yum broth with pho noodles which was spicy and a little sour. We also did a combo of beef and lots of green vegetables like bok choy and cabbage for the soup along with different mushrooms. Definitely get the ginger oil at the appetizer bar to add! The best $29 all you can eat lunch I've had in awhile...we left very full and satisfied. Good service... Kailee was great! We will be back! Recommend if you are a foodie and like Asian cuisine and soup!

Was sooo good!! Before I left for colorado long time ago I came here often. It is still very good allways fresh. The lamb Tikka was soo tender and full of flavor.Naan is sooo light and crispy some of best ever had..The chicken was great a lip bit dry today but still good..Come and try this great food if you get a chance!!!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Aamantran Indian Cuisine located at 1594 Lakewood Rd, Toms River, NJ 08755, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. This restaurant truly stands out for its remarkable hospitality and delicious food. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and outstanding service. The owner and the staff were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to ensure we had a fantastic dining experience. One of the first things I noticed was the ample parking, which made our visit hassle-free right from the start. One of the key highlights for me and my family was that Aamantran offers halal food. This is very important to us, and we were thrilled to find such a great restaurant that caters to our dietary needs. The menu had a wide variety of dishes, all of which were flavorful and delicious. Every bite was a testament to the skill and passion of the kitchen staff. What truly made our visit memorable was the personal touch from the owner. The father and son duo were tremendous, sharing fascinating stories about the history of the location. It was wonderful to see such a humble and passionate family running the restaurant. The owner’s ability to speak multiple languages was impressive and added to the welcoming atmosphere. It felt like we were guests in their home rather than just customers. The servers and staff were just amazing. They were attentive, courteous, and ensured that we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Their service was impeccable, making us feel valued and well taken care of. In addition to the fantastic food and service, the ambiance of Aamantran Indian Cuisine is warm and inviting. The decor reflects a rich cultural heritage, enhancing the overall dining experience. The restaurant is clean, well-maintained, and exudes a comfortable and welcoming vibe. I am already looking forward to my next visit to South Jersey so I can dine at Aamantran Indian Cuisine again. This restaurant has left a lasting impression on me and my family, and we are grateful for the wonderful experience. Thank you to the owners and the entire team for making our visit so enjoyable.
