Michelin-starred, James Beard Award-nominated gem helmed by Chef Michelle Bernstein protégé. Inventive dim sum and pan-Asian small plates — the crown jewel of Coral Gables dining.
Only you see this. What you ordered, what you'd order again, the table to ask for.
Chef Pablo Zitzmann, who is of Colombian and German-Mexican heritage, started Zitz Sum as an Instagram-driven dumpling and dim sum delivery business during the pandemic before opening the Coral Gables brick-and-mortar on May 4, 2021. He previously ran No Name Chinese in Miami from 2014 to 2019 and trained at Nobu under chef Thomas Buckley, with stints in Hong Kong, Japan and Hawaii.
The 30-seat restaurant runs an autobiographical menu built on Japanese technique filtered through Zitzmann's Latin American and Italian influences, known for dishes like lobster and shrimp har gow and pork belly potstickers alongside hand-rolled dim sum.
Zitz Sum has held a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand every year since 2022 (through the 2026 guide), was a James Beard Foundation semifinalist for Best New Restaurant in 2022, and was named to the New York Times' Best 50 Restaurants in America list in 2022.
It's a tiny room, 30 seats, so reservations through OpenTable are worth locking in ahead, especially on weekends. The restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday, with dinner service only from Tuesday through Saturday.
