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

Friendly, prompt service. My husband and I shared a 'Family Special B for 2' at 18.95 per person. It includes a choice of soup, a PoPo Platter, white rice, Mongolian beef, and a choice of sweet&sour or orange chicken. Everything was so delicious and large portions. Great value! Thank you!

Best American Chinese food I have ever had. They are consistently good and fast. Locally owned and operated. I HIGHLY recommend Mandarin House. P.S. After many more times frequenting Mandarin House I can say it is still the best American Chinese food I have ever had. Their General’s Chicken for me and Orange Chicken for my wife with a fried shrimp appetizer is now a standard fare at least twice a month. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself.

By far my favorite place for Chinese food!! They have the best crab Rangoon ever. I love that the food is always hot and fresh! We usually have to get multiple entrees because everyone knows Chinese food is even better the day after!! The owners are so friendly, and you get large portions, it's very affordable as well.

We enjoyed the combination fried rice. In fact, we are ordering here again tonight! Everything tasted fresh which I like.

We’re so lucky to have excellent Chinese food in Blair! The service is really great and the food always tastes delicious. We recommend trying the lemon chicken, sesame chicken, fried rice, and beef skewers! Pricing is good and when you dine in they give you large drinks.

The server was polite and friendly. My only real issue is the amount of time just to get our order placed. They weren't visually super busy so unless they were jammed up by phone orders, which shouldn't supercede a dine-in customer, they need to staff better.
