It’s without a doubt a super creative and delicious restaurant. Both the service and the food are spectacular, with a balanced and delicate fusion of ingredients. The place itself is calm and beautiful—truly a hidden gem in Miami with class and great taste.
You definitely need a reservation since it’s a small and popular spot.

Wow, just wow. The dishes so beautifully crafted, every single detail played beautifully with the next creating incredible harmony, dish after dish. I was here for my anniversary and it was the perfect choice. We couldn’t stop gushing over how good everything was. There was a subtlety to everything as well, nothing too loud or trying too hard, everything felt effortlessly natural. We ordered almost everything on the menu. One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to! ❤️

They should rename this place from “Zit sum” to “Skip sum.” This restaurant has been hyped to us so much, but I can say after dining and doing their nine course tasting menu with wine pairing. It is a scam. The food is very bland and the wine pairing they purposely choose the cheapest wine that doesn't even match the food. I’m talking from places I didn’t even know made wine. The dumpling was pure mush, 0 flavor. The rice is mostly beans which is not Asian in the slightest. Fish was soOoooo bland not even the “foam” sauce could save it. The scallop dish was inspired but unsuccessful (the banana was weird). The French toast dessert was just pure peanut butter flavor nothing else and was cold in the center and they paired it with a sake which made zero sense but again I guess it's cheap? The idea they have anything remotely Michelin shocks me to my core. One of the wine pairings was undrinkable, and I was very amazed by the fact that the staff just ignored the fact that I had a full glass of wine through most of the meal no one came to check and ask how we were feeling I think because they knew that wine was crap. Even my borderline alcoholic husband left that wine.
Also it’s in a random bank building??? And the chairs are patio chairs that are WAY too low for the table.

Not sure what is the hype about. Overall experience was okay, there was one fish dish that was pretty good but the rest of the food is pretty mediocre. I've had the worst and laziest scallop dish I've ever had in my life with banana and cucumber. Not a good combo and the presentation was just laughable, 20 dollars for a one scallop it's a bit too much. Also now I see pictures of other scallop dishes that people post and I think that the chef probably just got lazy by the end of the day and decided to serve whatever.. Shame

please save your time and your money and do not eat at this restaurant. i have no idea how they are michelin affiliated but they definitely do not deserve this. the service was horredous, the ac didn’t work, nor did the hvac in the kitchen so the place was smokey the entire time we were eating. it also took 15 minutes to sit us down even though we had a reservation and there were tables available for us to sit at. we kept on making eye contact with staff and they refused to acknowledge that we were there. it took 2 hours for our steak to come out and on top of that they made it well done when we had asked for medium rare. our server then decided to give us attitude and tell us that she refused to comp the dinner and proceeded to ignore us the rest of the dinner. please save your money and eat somewhere else.

The magic begins when you enter Zitz Sum. You are transformed into an environment of subtle and comfortable elegance. The food is sublime and so well executed. The flavors and use of exceptional products are evident and profound with every bite. Mitchel, our server, is the embodiment of exceptional hospitality. Her ability to take us on a journey of culinary excellence was truly outstanding. She and her team were seamless in their service and made our evening one of the best dining experiences I have had in a very long time. The culinary team is focused, and their execution of this creative and playful menu exemplifies their dedication to being such stunning culinarians. Bravo to the entire team at Zitz Sum!

Well prepared dishes that are prepared beautifully with complex flavors. Wontons are a staple on the menu and when you try them you will understand why. Delicate and savory goodness. The other two dishes we ordered were just okay (potato dumplings and cauliflower). I’m sure some of the other items were super yummy but our stomachs could only handle a light dinner (had a super late lunch). The service was very knowledgeable and polite. Please keep in mind they do not alter their menu items so those who have dietary concerns should call ahead since they change their menu often. The ambiance was just okay. It’s located inside a Citibank building on the ground floor. Lighting could be better and perhaps an upgrade on seating and tables. Totally doable but a bit dated. All in all a lovely experience.
I don’t know where to start. Imagine you are having a Michelin star level menu, with top of the line ingredients, flavors, and service. Now imagine paying a fraction of what that should cost, actually feeling full, and not having to sit around a pretentious crowd. Zitz sum is a world class dining experience that hugs you like a dumpling.

First things first the ac wasn’t working, service was so slow and the food took about 30 minutes in between plates to arrive. It was so so sooo smoky inside that my contacts felt like they were going to pop out. We didn’t want to pay for the steak cause it simply took too long. Our reservation was at 8:30pm we didn’t get a chance to eat our entree cause it was 10:45pm. The server gave us an attitude and was being passive aggressive after we wanted the check. The dumplings were good but everything was overpriced and to be honest it was kinda mid. There was no manager around to speak to. Like who’s running this place ???

From the moment I stepped into this restaurant, I was transported to a serene, beautifully designed space. The atmosphere was incredibly warm and inviting, with elegant decor that blends traditional elements with a modern twist, almost zen-like environment. The food was absolutely incredible—seasonal, fresh, and full of flavor, the drinks were outstanding as well.
This is the kind of place that gets everything right: ambiance, flavor, and experience. Highly recommended.

Zitz Sum is a hidden gem in Coral Gables. We tried the tasting menu and were blown away by the unexpected yet perfectly balanced flavors. Every dish offered a creative mix of ingredients that surprised and delighted us. The space, located inside a beautiful historic building, adds to the charm. Highly recommend for anyone looking for something truly unique and full of flavor.
