Great place for anything oysters. Award winning chef. Odd spot in downtown Shelton with limited on street parking. Open for dinners only. More

Some of the most creative and well prepared seafood I've ever had. Madam Xinh is a culinary wizzard. More

All their dishes look excellent. My favorites are the shellfish which they get same day fresh. Xinh is the owner and cook and was a champion oyster shucker. She's from Vietnam and includes their flavors and techniques in her cooking. I suggest you take a chance on one of the mixed dishes as I've also had great stuff at several... More

This restaurant is consistently fantastic. The geoduck steak is a must-try. I have never had a dish here that I didn't love. More

My wife and I and four friends visited this restaurant after hearing a number of great comments about the food. I can't deny it...the seafood dishes here are extremely well presented and very fresh and delicious. I had fresh local de-shelled mussels in a curry sauce prepared with coconut milk, lemongrass etc. Others at the table had various other seafood... More

It was OK for a seafood place. We have eaten there 5 times. Service was very slow several times and the food was OK. Several of my wife's meals were below average for her taste. Have taken several friends/family members there because they heard about the Xinh's and they came away with the same feeling the food was OK not... More

Xinh's is one of our all-time favorite Puget Sound-area restaurants. The service is good. The ambience is ok. The food is awesome. Xinh's signature dish is curried mussels and they are amazing. The wine list is somewhat limited but has some good selections. I particularly like the Walter Dacon Viognier. Even though Shelton is a long way for most people,... More

Since I was traveling through Shelton, WA I checked TripAdvisor to determine where to eat. This was the number one rated restaurant and, after eating here, I can confirm that this is a proper rating. Though it was midweek, the place was quite busy but I was seated quickly and service was attentive and friendly. In truth, I should have... More

We joined our neighbors for an evening out at their favorite seafood (Oysters!) restaurant & to say that we were thrilled is a huge understatement. This is definitely one of those places that you go to to savor the blend of ingredients and freshest seafood at a very relaxed pace. We wanted to try everything on the menu & will... More

I have eaten at Xinh's four times: once with a tour group for a private group luncheon buffet, once alone for dinner, twice with a girlfriend. The food is wonderful: fresh seafood, raw oysters that seem to be shucked to order and taste like the sea you read about in poems, interesting dishes (who knew curried mussels could be so... More
