About Mandarin House
The Mandarin House is ultimately the result of an improbable meeting of two young friends randomly meeting again after 5 years at an airport on the way to America.
John "Tat" Law and Bill " Wai Choi" Man were young teenagers growing up working and cooking in restaurants in Hong Kong in the 1960s. A chance meeting brought them back together and sent the pair on a journey from the East coast of America to beautiful San Diego over multiple years and working and cooking in multiple restaurants along the way.
But with a chance to finally do something of their own, the young chef's found an opportunity to transform an old diner into their dream and on April 21st 1977, The Mandarin House of La Jolla was born.
