"On multiple occasions, we have left Zitz Sum convinced we’d just eaten the best dish Miami has ever produced. And then we’ve never seen it on the menu again. This happens. But even though the frequency of edits on this menu requires a printer with a Ferrari engine, they get away with it by making miracles more than mistakes. Zitz Sum is an “Asian-inspired” restaurant with a bit of an Italian thing going on. But the dumplings, bao, and pasta you’ll encounter here actually do deliver on the seemingly impossible promise to put half a world’s worth of flavors on a single plate. This is not a safe dinner option. This is the reservation to make when you need a meal full of unpredictable excitement." - team infatuation

"Zitz Sum is one of the absolute best restaurants in Miami, and also the reservation you should make when you’re going to scream if you see one more grilled octopus on a menu. The food here is unlike anything else in the city. Rotating dishes are influenced by Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Lao, and other Asian cultures. But you’ll always find dumplings and a bao that made us forget everything we learned in kindergarten about sharing. And because the menu changes constantly, dinner here is still exciting even if you come on a weekly basis. Zitz Sum has not only managed to breathe fresh air into Coral Gables, but all of Miami-Dade County. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve.

"It’s a Coral Gables restaurant serving Asian food influenced by Italian and French techniques, cooked by a Colombian chef. This is the kind of dizzying ingenuity that produces the creative dishes you’ll find at Zitz Sum. The menu changes often, but there’s always some Miami throughline with entrees featuring guava hoisin and a coconut ginger sorbet with flan for dessert. Zitz is the first of its kind. And yet, it works here because if we can merge six lanes in 10 seconds for the 4B exit on I-95, who are we to draw the line at an aligot-filled donut with caviar?

"Zitz Sum, a small, 30-seat spot in Coral Gables, has seamlessly transitioned from a pandemic-era social media sensation to an established brick-and-mortar destination. The menu changes daily, featuring “Asian-ish” dishes like bing bread with Florida honey butter, wagyu beef tartare with gochujang, and Japanese-style egg salad. Dumplings are a highlight, including wonton in brodo — Berkshire pork in Parmigiano broth — and potato dumplings with shrimp and Calabrian butter. Other standouts include Koshihikari rice with truffle butter and Iberico pork chop with ginger-Fresno chile agrodolce. For dessert, try the Hong Kong-style French toast. Can’t decide? The tasting menu is always a solid choice at $125." - Allison Ramirez
