Wasn't impressed by this place. The cocktails were made from concentrate with no water, so extremely artificial and sweet. The steamed dim sum was delicious, but my main "healthy noodles with tofu" was really oily and extremely salty (I'm a salt lover but this was ridiculous). It had been flavoured with msg or similar so all in all tasted very unhealthy. Definitely wouldnt go back.

Have to agree with AA, went for a meal at Dim T with friends last night and it was dreadful. I always like to try the wonton noodle soup in a restaurant to see whether it's as good as my mum's (never is, I'm a glutton for punishment); the wontons were flavourless and looked like tiny, shrivelled testes; the soup was was over seasoned with pepper and the noodles were mush. Simply avoid.

Try using an iLiad instead of printing on paper. Carry all your books, documents, and newspapers on a handy lightweight device that uses eighty five times less energy to display a page as it takes to print it on a desktop printer. This does not take into account the power to make the paper, distribute it or to dispose of it. www.iliadreader.co.uk

We know AA Gill is sincere in his ecological views, but what therefore would he make of scientists Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen's assertion that:

'If you want to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide permanently, and not just cut short-term emissions, the best bet is to build up a big library at home, locking carbon into paper, or put plenty of asphlat on roads. These don't sound like green activities, but they are. You can cycle on the roads if it makes you feel better.'

Totally agree with Gill re the self righteous greens but I cannot help feeling that his dyslexia may explain his phobia about books.

The spinach dumplings are the best in London!

AA Gil, hilarious!!! Can't think of a time when I have laughed out loud so much. I loved your bit on the green movement but the section about the Lone Star - brilliant! Can't say I'm not a fan of dim sum (although I haven't tried the delights of this new place) but I will say I was a HUGE fan of The Lone Star. It is right across the road from my house in London (sadly I don't live there stil so don't get to the Lone Star any more - well I def can't now can I?) but I have had many many a wonderful evening there over the years. Right from the gorgeous salsa dip at the bar while you waited to the cheese laden nachos (never ever found nachos to match since) and HUGE racks of ribs. I've had everything from dates as a single Londoner to romantic (?) evenings with my husband there but never had the chance to take the kids there. What a shame - it was actually on our To Do list for our family trip to London this summer. May the Lone Star RIP - What a GREAT place it was.

For once Gill has gone over the top...clearly put out because someone had said no to the big man and wouldn't allow him to take a photo. I have always enjoyed my meals at Dim T. They are local cheap and cheerful nights out and on that note perhaps it would have been useful to mention that you can eat for £15 a head!!!

Lucy, London,

Well I can believe that anyone has had a bad experience at my newest favourite restaurant. I have nothing but good things to say about my now two great evenings at Dim T, I found the food to be top, compared with similar restaurants of it’s calibre.

Personally I am a stickler for good service, competent staff and pleasant surroundings when you are spending reasonable money, we felt Dim T total satisfied these needs and more.

I was recommended to dine at Dim T by friends who had told me of there impressive visits.

I found reading Gill’s review odd and feel that we can’t have eaten in the same restaurant. But will say I have always enjoyed his reviews and mostly agreed when comparing with my own thoughts.

I don't know what you're complaining about. You are in Britain, aren't you?

When the waiter took our laden plates away, surveyed our faces burkaed with napkins and asked if everything was all right, if I had been able to open my mouth with safety, I would have said: “You tell me.”

Yeah Gill, copped out again.

Given that books are primarily composed of carbon their production should serve to reduce atmospheric CO2 as long as trees are replanted after felling.

Hamilton, London,

I have to agree with Gill - went there a couple of weeks ago and was appalled by the food. The vegetables were dripping in grease, the texture of the dim sum was like regurgitated baby food and the main's were tasteless lumps of something. It was almost as bad as the noodles I had in Miami airport (which one could only describe as a mixture of soggy cardboard and grease) but at least I found a bit of meat in this portion. I get the sense that there was not one chinese person in the kitchen or at least one person familiar with cooking chinese food. I think the the "chef" was cooking by numbers but unfortunately couldn't count.

Adrian, London, UK

Brilliant!. Just brilliant. Prepare to be libelled on "SourceWatch" any minute now!

Andy Murphy, Blackheath, UK

Exactly right. I am now going to be really bad: buy a book, go the airport and eat a burger while waiting for the flight. No remorse.

strictly speaking, the state of the Aral Sea is the result of a Soviet agricultural legacy rather than a human induced change in climate. If anything, the Aral Sea situation is improving at the moment...

NC, London,

ahh Gill. How you amuse me.

Jim, Cranleigh, UK

oh dear, some of you british really behave like children (or a member of the bush adminstration). face it: you ar esooo behind the rest of europe in everything that has to do with ecology, and still you manage to be both ignorant and plain stupid. when will you wake up?

apicus, mainland europe,

Mr Gill, you are suppose to be a restaurant reviewer. You write 13 paragraph review. The first 9 paragraphs are unrelated and not very amusing twaddle (ZZZZzzzzz) and the remaining 4 paragraphs are the review. Are your reviews any good? No. Do I trust your opinion? No? Maybe you can learn a few things or too from your fellow colleague Mr Winner. He does write twaddle but at least it is amusing and even though I don't agree with some of his reviews, at least I find them informative and I do respect his opinion.

Sam, London,

I've eaten at DimT a few times & think they offer very tasty food. This review is dreadfully pompous!

I've eaten at Dim T many times. Very good, I reckon. This review is terribly pompous.
