Lovely food, lovely service. Great place that do tasty dim sum and other nice dishes. No complaints.

I love the review for this place that simply summarised it as “quality of the dim sum of horrific… but it at least has the decency to be cheap”. I was more complimentary. I was content with my recent outing, we were out for a leaving lunch for one of the office. Dim T Charlotte Street is in a beautiful, modern setting. The al fresco seating would have been fantastic for the incoming afternoon rays. As a pan-Asian restaurant, nothing on the menu has much authenticity in taste, so you’d be forgiven if you thought these weren’t Asian dishes. Mine was the £9.25 claypot chicken. The less desirable chicken breast is the choice here, and inclusions of dates, mushrooms, veges in a oyster and soy sauce. Meant to be in a traditional clay pot, but not actually in a traditional clay pot, let alone a modern clay pot. Lol. Rice was separate, only slightly outrageous. I enjoyed the dish though, not so much for a traditional taste but as a competent stir fry. The use of chicken was too safe and would have preferred a thicker, multi-layered level of flavours in the sauce.
Delicious Dim Sum. Wandering along Charlotte Street after a spur-of-the moment decision to grab some food and Dim T was the busiest restaurant around at 7.30pm on a Tuesday evening. Only seats by the bar were left, they were comfortable - if a little cosy - but certainly allowed us to soak up the buzzy atmosphere.
The Dim Sum starters (Pork buns & Chicken, wasabi and mushroom parcels - sufficient for two) were packed with taste and would have made a delicious meal on their own. Fine crispy shredded chilli beef, as a main, was crunchy but not too sweet and the Prawn Thai Green Curry was creamy and full of subtle flavours.
Service was friendly & paced just right, despite all tables being taken for the duration of our meal.
