Creative Asian-Latin fusion with memorable signatures and polished service; tasting menu shines, but small portions, loud room, and service fees make value feel mixed.
Zitz Sum delivers exceptional food quality with inventive Asian-Latin fusion and standout dishes like tartare and wonton in brodo, supported by knowledgeable service that guides diners through each course. However, inconsistent execution on busy nights—including pacing hiccups and occasional oversalting—prevents grade A territory. The Bib Gourmand-recognized tasting menu appeals to adventurous diners seeking chef-driven creativity, though small portions and a 20% service charge warrant budget awareness.
Hidden behind office-lobby doors, the room feels warm and moody with a buzz that builds as the night goes on. Servers often narrate each course, and one guest said the staff "guided us dish by dish with care." Expect intimate seating and, at peak, a room that can turn lively. Do budget for the automatic service charge. The kitchen leans Asian-Latin fusion with confident ideas—think parmesan-kissed brodo for wontons, acevichado-style crudos, and a standout tartare. It is a chef-driven, creative experience where plating and flavors share the spotlight. That ambition means high highs (tartare, rice, French toast) and the occasional off night or pacing hiccup. If you enjoy adventurous combinations, the tasting menu is a fun ride; a la carte works well for curated picks. Families should note portions skew small and flavors can be bold. There is no kids menu, and familiar comfort items are limited to things like bing bread or a simply prepared salmon if available. For cautious eaters, consider starting with bread, dumplings, and dessert; otherwise, this is best for date nights and food-focused outings.
