Another good choice and my second favorite would be Red Light although I guess they call themselves "Pan-Asian" or some such thing.

yes Red Light!, Chef Shen is now here. I posted about this place in this forum, a search will bring it up.
I has been iffy for me at Ben Pao, The satay bar is excellent and so is the duck w/Chinese buns. Other dishes have been less impressive. I will have to try the two you mention. In fact I'll post a gathering in Community on it.
