"I was driving through Blair to get some tools. I saw the Mandarin House. I hadn't been there in every bit of 20 years. I thought,I wonder if it is 1/2 as good as I remember? So I stopped in on my way going back the other way. I walked in, the place didn't have 2 people dining inside, a few people, I assume we're employees. I was a little concerned,am I going to get,hot, fresh food ? I'm the only person ordering food. The nice lady by the cash register says,what can I get you? As she hands me a menu. I asked her,do you have hot tea,she replied,yes. I look at the menu and see my old favorite Mongolian Beef. I ordered it as my main entree. I am hungry (I left that part out in the beginning). I also picked 1/2 an order of crab rangoon,and 1 egg roll. In a pretty quick time, she gets my total and I receive my food to go in a nice cardboard box. My plan was,eat and drive as I'm heading home. In my hungry state of mind I get into my van in the parking lot, I sit and grab the egg roll,oh my goodness,it is fresh and piping hot!! I am surprised! Next, I grabbed a crab rangoon, same thing and she gave me 2 hot n sour sauces. I am in food heaven!! I then opened my steamed rice and the Mongolian beef (if you love onions as much as I do order this). The rice was fluffy and wonderful,then I'd gotten a taste of the piping hot Mongolian beef,oh my goodness all over again I'm in the parking lot saying to myself,I have got to stay right here and enjoy this food, I cannot be driving and swerving all over the road. I finished everything. I then took the lid off of the tea that had been brewing, took a sip of it yep,SAME thing! Piping hot and tasty. It was time to get on the road,so I sipped the tea and dessert was a fortune cookie. I can't say enough good about this place. I know I will return as soon as I can and I will, sit inside and enjoy the same food all over again. Thank you Mandarin House for the experience i thought was long gone! I will return. Mark Mathews"
