My husband found this restaurant last year and it may be one of my favorite restaurants. I return multiple times a week when I can, because the soup is addicting. I order the Mala noodle soup with sliced beef. The Mala soup flavor is amazingly good and complex. I order the soup extra spicy which requires tissues and careful sipping so that I don't accidentally inhale the chili spice lol. The beef is tender and all of the other ingredients complement the soup well. The rice noodles are cooked nicely and are gluten-free, which makes it doable for me. I also order the brown sugar sticky rice, which is soft, sticky, and slightly sweet. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.
