Zitz Sum

Dinner here was an absolute delight! The restaurant is moody and elegant, and the ambiance is casual not overly loud. The server we got was really attentive, very good service. And the food was just delightful! The koshihikari rice was one of my favorite dishes, it was everything I’ve never expected but always wanted in rice! The bing bread was so good too! The scallops were delicate and delicious, the fish was exquisite and the wontons in brodo super flavorful yet delicate. Loved the crunch of the Japanese French toast too. The cocktails were amazing! I don’t remember what mine was called but I had like 4! So good! Def give this place a try

An amazing value. For $75 you will get a tasting dinner starred Michelin level restaurant with wine pairing. Every dish was excellent and presented the tremendous ability of the young chef PABLO ZITZMANN.

After a not-so-great first experience, we had the opportunity to revisit Zitz Sum and were truly impressed! On our initial visit, we hadn’t experienced what the other reviews had described, but our second time back was exceptional. From the moment we stepped inside, the team was warm, welcoming, and attentive. Our waiter Gabriel took amazing care of us, going above and beyond ensuring every detail was perfect. Each time a dish was brought out, the team would give thorough descriptions and suggestions on how to best enjoy it too, which just added to the experience. The food, of course, exceeded our expectations. Every dish was creative, beautifully presented, full of fresh ingredients, and delicious. We’ve now tried everything on the menu (which changes) and the chef’s tasting menu, both of which definitely had key items that we will be back for. Chef Pablo is definitely bringing something special to Miami with Zitz Sum. His dedication to quality and his guests is evident, which definitely makes for a memorable experience. Will definitely be back! **Our fav dishes were the Big Eye Tuna & Beets, the Wagyu Tapioca bites, the Roasted Halibut, and the Potato Dumplings

100/10 would recommend this place to everyone! Chef Pablo has done an incredible job blending together a diverse fusion of flavors and ambiance to deliver a one of a kind experience. We tried the entire menu with drink pairing and was one of the best experiences I have had the pleasure of indulging in. Each course is full of delicious mouth watering unique tastes to hit every pallet and sure to make any food lover crave more. Great for a date night, family gathering, celebration, appetite, and to have a special night of enjoyment. Do not miss out on this journey to food heaven!

High quality tasting menu, and filling enough! Simple, to the point, with passion. 20% automatic service charge included

Went during the week without a reservation and was seated outside. We were persuaded to try the tasting menu and it didn’t disappoint. The menu is constantly changing, so it’s definitely worth coming back to try their new offerings. Every dish was executed to perfection. The taste of each was unique and the presentation was beautiful. My only complaint was the dinner did take a while over 2 hours. But don’t let that impact your decision to come here

Definitely worth the hunt to find this place. What a nice experience. Really nice atmosphere great soft lighting, music a bit loud, service was excellent. All of our dishes were beautifully plated and were super yummy. Even though the wine list is incredibly small and not very well thought out or put together. I will go back for the food and the service and have a wine free night.

Flavors were well balanced and seasonal, and the team was knowledgeable about each course. The tasting menu was well paced, with every dish offering something distinct. As more parties arrived, the ambiance became a bit loud, and the seating could have been more comfortable. That said, the pricing felt fair for the quality and creativity. Overall, a very positive dining experience.

If you dine in Miami, you know the difficulties there are when deciding on a place to eat. The many (many) options to choose from. Is it actually good, or is it just overhyped? Are the plates Instagram worthy, but not tastebud worthy? However, once you sift through these questions and the array of restaurants you can reserve a table at, you’ll start to find the gems. The places that do good food, good service, and good vibes. Zitz Sum is one of those places. Not surprising of course, given their bib gourmand status. But it’s another thing to actually try the plates that earned this recognition, which you totally should. To start things off, the ambience in the place was great and our waiter was fantastic. He was super knowledgeable about the menu, filled us in on what dishes are new/seasonal (check out my pic of the menu) and which are mainstays, and gave us his recommendations. Lucky for us, nearly everything we were thinking about ordering was similar to the plates he was ready to suggest. We got the bing bread, steak tartar, wahoo crudo, wonton in brodo, and charred cabbage. The bing bread was served hot and soft and the sweet Florida honey butter it came with was divine. The steak tartar was my favorite dish of the night and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. The beef was tender and seasoned well, and the ramen egg it sat in was perfectly chewy and salty. This is a steak tartar like you’ve never had before. The wahoo crudo was unique and I was hesitant at first about the thin banana slice its topped with (I’m not a fan of bananas), but I trusted the process and chef and all the flavors really came together and paired well with each other. The wonton in brodo was my second favorite dish of the night. The broth was flavorful and cozy, I was literally sipping it after all the wontons were eaten. And the wontons itself? Soft and packed with tasty chicken. Finally, the charred cabbage. Don’t sleep on this dish! It was more fulfilling and flavorful than you ever thought a cabbage could be, and the char on it gave it a nice punch of heat. At the end of our meal, we talked other Miami spots with our waiter, exchanged restaurant recommendations, and learned about Zitz Sums’ sister izakaya restaurant (called Dojo, which we will definitely be trying). Zitz Sum is subtle, yet glamorous. It makes you remember how special dining in Miami can (and should) be.

Our server Gabriel was awesome, and the hostess was super friendly and helpful. We did the tasting menu; very fun experience! The bell pepper cocktail is superrrrrr delicious, I’d go back just to have it. The portions were on the smaller side but still very filling and tasty ♡. Had a great experience for our anniversary, the entire service throughout the night was wonderful.

my wife and i went. we got 'the tasting menu' -> japanese scallops w/ thai sauce, seductive beef tartar on mozzerella bread, and more! the servers were really great during the experience too.

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.

Paulo Ovidio Guimaraes

It is one of my favorite places for food in Coral Gables. It is a small almost hidden awesome place. Everything is so delicious. The Denver steak and the rice are perfect!

Shirin Razdan

Truly surprising flavor combinations. A culinary delight. Confusing to find (in the FIFA office building), but otherwise a sanctuary of sumptuous food and courteous service. Thank you, Maynor, for your kindness! Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but do check out the flatbread, which was unexpected and unforgettable.

Juan Camargo

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.

Came on a Tuesday night. Cozy restaurant inside an office building. Beef tartare is amazing, very unique taste; the bread appetizer is also unique, love the baking style, also very Asian. Seabass is okay.

I went to Zitz Sum on a date with my girlfriend last night. I believe our waitress’s name was Michelle, and she was so wonderful. Special shout out to all the staff at this restaurant for being really amazing. We had the tasting menu and a lot of the courses were very good. The wontons in particular were amazing. I wish the portions were a bit bigger since the food is so good, but I understand a lot of it is for presentation which is really amazing. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a really quiet and unique dinning experience in Coral Gables. Very good restaurant which is propelled by the excellent staff. Oh and the French Toast was a pretty excellent dessert.

An interesting fusion on Asian & Latin cuisines offering bold, intense and original flavors. My favorite was the Darkened Cod in a Sofrito sauce. The restaurant sits few people making the experience quite personal. Recommended!

We came here for a date night. The service was great and the ambiance of the restaurant was really intimate and quiet. Overall, the food was delicious and we enjoyed it but it wasn’t stellar. For the price point, I expected more. Regardless, it was enjoyable just not sure if memorable. Except the dessert and the winter salad - they were incredible!

While the service and atmosphere were pleasant and the food was good, it didn’t quite live to our expectations. The beef tartare was definitely our favorite dish.

While each dish was ambitious, none of them came together. The Scallops were taken away from by the other ingredients, the cabbage was hard, one of the chickens was ok, the other way over salted. The dumplings were below average while the sauce was decent, the truffle dumplings were good though way overpriced as was everything, like the $16 breads. The rock shrimp curry rice was not good. The steak tartar was ok. The cucumber dish was ok though tiny. Was excited coming in, left feeling we hit an off night. Every dish needed a serving utensil, had to ask for one to be brought almost every time a dish was dropped off. The restaurant was hard to find. Just under $100 pp. Probably won’t ever come back
