Zitz Sum

A trolley-cart dim sum house that trades stodgy banquet rooms for a bright, art-deco-adjacent room and a cocktail list as sharp as the kitchen.

The carts still roll past your table here, but what lands is sharper than tradition demands: XO clams, a duck bun glazed to lacquer, dumplings that arrive with a wink toward Miami's more decadent instincts. It gets loud and bright by 8pm, servers moving fast between packed four-tops, and the bar pours a mean five-spice old fashioned that somehow makes sense next to the soup dumplings.

Best for: Lively group dinners and weekend dim sum carts with a cocktail in hand
