It means:
“That’s actually impressive.”
“Okay, you’ve got skills.”
“There’s something special here.”
It’s a low-key way to show admiration without going over the top — kind of like saying “not bad” in English, but with a wink of real respect.
Example:
Nǐ kàn tā huà de huà le ma?
你看他画的画了吗?
Have you seen his drawing?
Yō, yǒu diǎn dōngxi a!
哟,有点东西啊!
Damn, that’s impressive!
