Square Meal Review of Dim T Charlotte Street ?

A textbook example of style over substance, Dim T boasts stylish interiors, good-looking staff & a funky soundtrack. Where it doesn’t fare so well is in the kitchen, with the culinary bar at the level of a high-street takeaway. In spite of the name, dim sum only forms a small portion of the menu, which is a one-stop shop of South-East Asia’s greatest hits: aside from Chinese steamed dumplings – minced pork & prawn, say – you could have Thai red duck curry, a Malaysian seafood laksa or Japanese chicken katzu. Sadly, rather than mastering any one cuisine, the kitchen usually sends out half-hearted replicas of the originals, with verdicts such as ‘bland’ or ‘overcooked’ cropping up too frequently. Staff are well-meaning but get over-stretched at peak times, & drinks run to a handful of mainstream exotic cocktails, juices & teas.

    Food:
    Dim T has a great selection of main courses to choose from. The noodle bar offers you the flexibility to construct your own dish, you can choose from you favourite type of noodles, toppings and sauce which is a nice, personal touch (especially for fussy eaters like me). There is also a great selection of healthy dishes and teas for you to have if you are on a restricted diet, which is a lovely change considering that some of the sauces and toppings in the other main dishes can be quite heavy. They also have the traditional dishes such as Crispy Duck with pancakes or Thai green curry, which are good, not great btw. They have wonderful noodlesoup dishes they do taste great, but they are massive (almost American style massive). The Dim Sum, which I was under the impression was there forte considering they are called Dim T was disappointing and there wasn't enough of it. It was, frankly, over-cooked. This is another restaurant where the starters overshadow the main course. The starters are gorgeous, especially the Gyoza, it is beautiful and not greasy or dry just perfect. The Spicy Squid is delicious too and has a sauce that compliments it really well.

    Service
    Dim T in Charlotte Street is the best in regards to service, the staff are very friendly and even during times where the food takes longer than expected they are always trying hard to keep you happy.

    Atmosphere
    The deco inside is good considering they have such a small space, however the music was so-so, they didn't have enough tasteful music playing in the background. It would have been nice to hear, for instance, music of that culture. It's beautiful and compliments the food and enhances the surroundings

    Value for Money
    Certainly – the only thing I think is a bit of a rip-off is the Dim Sum as you don't get enough for what you pay.

    On the whole it is definately worth going to.
