Dim T: Not In Any Way Nice But Dim 5th June 2009

No... sorry... I realise these two reviews are a couple of years old... but I thought this place was awful.

I went with a few friends and we were given a table up in a room away from the main part of the restaurant - which was actually great for us to catch up but it meant I can't really comment on the atmosphere of the place. The waitress was pretty efficient for having to come up two flights of stairs to serve three tables, but the food was truly dreadful. We tried three different dim sum from a very small and unexciting selection - I'd read that Dim T was THE place to eat it? - and this was only about three weeks ago but I've already forgotten what they were which speaks volumes: I can tell you exactly what I ate in Ping Pong two months ago and I had a go on eight different plates there! Whatever these dim sum were though, they were pretty flavourless, soggy and salty. My Singapore noodles were a huge, sticky, tasteless mound of vermincelli with a couple of dry slices of chicken in and I think I may have seen a prawn too. Absolutely not going back, and thank god we were doing a 2-for-1.

not so dim that sum 10th May 2007

I ordered the dim sum (chicken and mushroom bun, chicken and cashew dumpling and prawn and corriander) and my friend ordered the thai green curry. The food was good but not outstanding amazing. Also there seems to be a new thing in london restaurants - non understandable waitresses who then get rude when you dont understand what they are saying! She improved at the end but i think it was due to the possibility of us tipping.

It was cheap so that is one plus for it and charlotte st is a cool area. But i have to disagree with Lucyw...ping pong was far tastier and the dim sum was warmer.

Go for the spicy beef! 30th April 2007

I love Charlotte Street. I'm slowly working my way around all the fine places but there's one place I just can't keep away from... Dim T. Not only do I keep going back but I always order the same thing, the dim sum. There's a whole other menu there which looks delicious but I just can't seem to get past those little parcels. Despite not eating fish I have no trouble finding ones I like - the spicy beef ones are something to behold! And it's all so reasonable too.

One day I will get onto the rest of the menu but in the meantime this is the place to go for cheap dim sum - forget Ping Pong, this place beats it hands down
