Absolutely a gem. Have been here a few times and the food never disappoint. Highly recommend the chili oil wonton, amazing mala flavor and perfect bite size pieces. Dan Dan noodle and any of the skewers are also a must. Parking may be hard especially around evening/weekends due to the restaurant sharing the same lot with a sports bar.
