Enjoy it while you can. NOOOOOO!!! That's terrible news. The Mandarin House is an institution -- very much an old-school Chinese restaurant. And yes, the tropical drinks are tasty, potent, and served in tiki mugs. The owner, Martin, is a great guy too -- talk to him once and you've got a friend for life. And all this is going to be flattened just to throw up another cheaply-built faux-Tuscan monstrosity full of $500,000 condos??? I'm distraught. By all means, if you're in San Diego, go there and enjoy it while you still can.
