Review of Dim T
30 Jan 08, 11:41
You'd be dim not to try it 
I love Dim T- to the point where I would actively choose to go to one of these rather than, say, a Wagamama. And that's saying quite a lot.
The Charlotte Street branch is cute, petite and funky, and every time I have been there I've been drawn to the dim sum, which are really good value and delicious! You only get three of each kind, which is annoying when you're sharing, but trust me, it's worth getting two baskets of the prawn and chive dumplings. Yum!
It's a great little date place- mind you, you can't go far wrong on Charlotte Street! Maybe I have such a good impression of Dim T because I went on a very successful date there almost a year ago...anyway, it's very good. Try it!

Review of Hare and Tortoise

Excellent Asian-Fusion Option
I really couldn't agree more with the other reviewers on here- I just went here for lunch and it was worth the (10 minute) wait to get in. You can see why this place is so busy at lunchtimes- it's quick, it's cheap, and the food is very tasty. The broad menu is also impressive- it dips into Chinese, Japanese, and Thai cuisine.
The vegetable lo mein stood out as particularly good, prawn and vegetable tempura was light and crispy, exactly the way it should be, and sushi was quick and fresh. The portions are all enormous and I would wager that hard-up students could even share servings!
I have heard less-than-glowing reviews about the Putney branch but this new sleek Brunswick Centre branch ticked all the right boxes for me. Definitely worth a lunchtime or pre- Renoir cinema visit.
