13 reviews for Dah Mee
Dah it to me!
Hard to not feel at home in Dah mee. The service is wonderfully casual and prompt. I feel like I was visiting my southern grandmother's kitchen more than a restaurant.
My bi bim bap (hot stone dish - lots of veggies, rice, an over easy egg and yummy red spicy sauce) was fantastic and stupid healthy. Great reminder that eating healthy doesn't have to leave you craving junk food. Loved the guidance from Mrs. Le (the owner I presume) "You've got to mix it all up girl, tastes more better."
I'd leave the spring rolls out of the order next time, but keep the Hawaiian salad which tasted like a deconstructed spicy tuna roll but with mixed greens and the soy sauce already mixed in for you. Hell ya.
Don't know why I didn't frequent Dah Mee when I was a Wellesley woman, but when I do make it back to Natick it will be my new hot spot for take out.
Dah Mee is very close to where I work, so it's a common lunch place for a lot of my co-workers. Today was our usual Friday lunch, where a couple of people pick-up takeout for anybody that wants to order. The choice of restaurants today was Dah Mee.
I decided a takeout lunch sounded good, so I ordered the Pad Thai Vegetable, vegetarian with tofu. It arrived back at the office right on time. I've had the same dish a few times before, and it was as good this time. There weren't many vegetables, but the sauce was very good and the tofu was nicely done. A very filling lunch.
In previous visits, when I've eaten at the restaurant, the wait staff has been good, not overly friendly, but very competent. The Pad Thai Vegetable usually has a lot of vegetables (today's takeout was not the norm). My co-workers rave over the stone pot bibimbob dishes.
I'm happy they're close enough to go back again and again.
I went there for the first time with two friends and decided to try Korean food for the first time. My friends were Asian foodies and loved the place, and suggested that I try out the bi bim bab for my 'starter' Korean dish, which I did.
The bi bim bab was pretty good. It's a salad-like dish with chicken, rice and hot sauce that you mix in separately according to your taste and spice tolerance. The half-raw fried egg threw me off, but since you were supposed to mix it up, it wasn't that bad.
Overall, the food was great and I'd definitely go back to try other dishes. The -1 star is for the lack of friendly service. I feel like I owed the waitress money or something by the way she was treating us. Smiling a bit wouldn't hurt.
Meh. That says it all. I had chicken dumplings with no filling and no taste to start. Even more strange was the fact that the same dumplings came floating in my friends wonton soup. I am 100 percent positive they are just frozen product they order and charge 7 bucks for. My entree was bibimbap which actually was really good. The service was awful. She was incredibly rude. They also need to learn to time a meal. I hate being with my friends and having each dish brought out 5 minutes apart. One persons sushi came so late that we had all finished eating and were trying to flag down the waitress when the owner plopped it on the table. No explanation given for why it took so long. We then waited for about 20 minutes for anyone to come back to the table as we sat surrounded by 3 courses of dirty dishes. It was cheap which is a redeeming factor but all around not worth a return visit.
Decent fare, just OK sushi, stick with the authentic spicy Korean dishes served in traditional cookware, they are done really well here. Wait staff can be rude at times, especially the woman who owns the place...but I have also had pleasant and attentive service, so it's a roll of the dice.
I know the family that owns this place, and they're great people. Now on to the food. The Korean food is excellent. I have nothing good to say about the Thai food. I would frequent this place more often if it wasn't for the price. For Korean food, it's reasonable I guess. But for the price, the quality of the food should be better.
As you may tell from my other recent posts, I've recently moved to Natick center and have been trying a few restaurants in the area. Dah Mee was actually my first dinner out in Natick and I enjoyed my food, the first time.
I went with my roomate and one of our friends b/c it was close and we were starving after a day of heavy moving. We found Dah Mee and thought it was very quaint and didn't look too busy. The waitress was terribly rude and short, and she's the reason that they lose another star. But the food made the experience much better. I had the Avacado salad to start and the veggie tempura. The avacado was orgasmic and my roomate and I had a moanfest we were loving it so much. We've gotten the salad a few times since on take out but it's not been nearly as good.
There are def better places in the area to go for Asian cuisine but this one shouldn't be discounted yet. Trying this place won't be a complete disaster.
Dah Mee really exceeded my expectations! We had an array of appetizers and all were fabulous. The presentation of the avocado salad was very impressive, and it tasted even better than it looked! Seaweed salad- super. Golden bags were AMAZING. Mandoo (dumplings) were soooo tasty. When half the group wanted steamed and half the group wanted fried, the waitress offered to make the order half and half. I didn't even think that would be an option. I enjoy a place that's willing to go through extra effort to please customers. The Siam fried rice is not to be missed. So glad to find a great Asian food restaurant in Natick Center and will surely be back!
Perhaps I'll change my review once I try the Korean food. But the Thai was eh. Bland. Hella bland (oh I'm sorry Boston, wicked bland). When I order thai red curry, and you put a little pepper next to it indicating it is hot, it should be hot. My chicken was not. And the beef, which was NOT thai red curry was smothered in the exact same bland sauce. It was edible and all but I was not impressed.
Love Dah Mee. Not sure if the other folks who have posted have eaten at the same place that my husband and I go to at least twice a month...Try the crazy noodles...you won't regret it!!
I've got serious issues with this place. The food itself is okay but it fills a need for Korean cuisine in the area (there's such little good Korean in metro Boston it makes me sad). What really takes it down a few notches are two things. 1) Korean restaurants that charge for kim chi should be illegal. That's just sacrilege. 2) Once I tried to order a few items for lunch on a weekend, took out a lunch menu from the counter, and proceeded to talk to the owner and placed my order. She then charges me DINNER prices for the items I ordered while she clearly saw I was holding the lunch menu and said they don't do lunch on weekends. That kind of bait and switch behavior should never be tolerated which is why I'll never go back.
This is a qualified four stars. There are better places in Metrowest to get Japanese and Thai food. But when I go to Dah Mee, I order the Korean entrees, because that's where this restaurant excels.
If you've never had Korean food, try to Ok Dol Bibim Bop--a combination of rice, vegetables and either beef, chicken or seafood (my favorite) served in a hot stone bowl with Korean flavorings and a spicy sauce on the side (you don't even need the sauce). It is a real treat, as are most of the Korean offerings.
I'm not a big fan of pan-Asian restaurants, normally. Sure, you can do Korean and Japanese food and not screw up too terribly. I'm a little leery of places that try to Southeast Asian and East Asian. In this case, Dah-Mee does Thai, Korean, and Japanese. The menu is extensive with most of a page alone to appetizers and a whole pages for the different ethnic dishes. I guess there is something for everyone, as there were several tables of large groups the night we went. I stuck to the Korean side of the menu, though others in our party tried the "Thai" side of the menu. It peeves me that places will offer fried rice, or other items that are ubiquitous in Chinese-American eateries, under their Thai dishes. Service was slow (too many large groups on a Saturday night) - I had to get up to ask for the check and ask for a container for a friend's take home. If I'm ever in the Natick area again, I'd give them another try to see if their Thai dishes satisfy (or not!). That being said, I rarely go to Natick.
