| - Went here looking for dim sum after reading some reviews for "Number 2 Restaurant" and found that the sign now says Ivan's. However, they still have the all day dim sum banner out front, so we went in. One table up front was leaving as we were coming in - otherwise the place was empty for Saturday lunch.
There is a full menu on the table, and the waiter brought us the paper dim sum menu. We ordered the har gow (shrimp dumplings), vegetable+shitake dumplings, cha siu bao (steamed bbq pork buns), zong zi (wrapped rice), luo bo gao (turnip cakes) [they had trad'l with pork and shrimp, and a vegetarian one with mushrooms], one of the steamed rice rolls and one other dish. We ordered too much for just two of us and had trouble finishing it all. The luobogao was good (not greasy like it can be at other places), as were the har gow and buns. My partner liked the spinach in the vegetable dumplings, but I was disappointed to not be able to taste the mushrooms in it.
Overall, the food was OK-to-good. Price (before tip) came to $22 for the 7 dishes we ordered.
