Vickie's Swansea Chinese Restaurant

To piggyback on a previous review...General Tso's chicken not the same. It was overcooked and tough. Crab Rangoon no filling. I wish they had better quality food to keep customers coming back.

I’ll start off by saying this was my absolute favorite Chinese restaurant. I have never been disappointed with the food here and last night I was. I recently found out it was sold (is this wrong info?) and this explains what I will say next. I have ordered the same thing from here for the past 10 years and it has always been the same great quality, except for last night. I get home and open my containers and instantly know something is wrong. The general tsao’s chicken was not fresh. It was dry and hard. The rice had an odd taste to it and the “crab” rangoons had NO crab meat at all. In fact, there was barely any filling in the whatsoever. Probably a nickels worth of filling. How do you take over an award winning business and change everything that was good about the food? If it was not bought out, then what happened? I’ll probably give it one more chance because maybe it was just an off night?? We will see. Hopefully it was and the next time will be better. Fingers crossed.

Order included a Lunch entree and a pu pu platter. Service was efficient. Quantity of chicken meat and quality of dishes was below average for an American Chinese restaurant. Pork fried rice was provided but really wanted white rice (I wish this was better described)

Very disappointing. It seems there are different owners and the quality of the food has diminished. Fried rice was dark brown and looked like it had been reheated. The wonton soup was tasteless and and the dumplings were undercooked. Will not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

This place was spectacular for many many years and then it went right down the toilet. I'm sorry to say but it's true

Best Chinese food in the area.

I thought I found a place that had great food and I wasn’t disappointed. The only thing is the cheat you on the food, I order chicken and broccoli. My wife came home with the order and I went to place it on my plate only to find the container half full, that's stealing from clients. I even had to ask my wife if it was a small order and she said no. So angry as it’s so hard to find a good Chinese restaurant around here, I refuse to be stole from, you should be ashamed of yourself!!!!

I guess Vickie is or has sold the business. Food sucks and the people taking orders can't understand English well. Sorry will be looking for another place good luck

The food was so good, I started speaking Chinese! ? I was very happy that they were open late (they closed at 10:30 on this Friday). I had General Tsao's Chicken and I can vouch for it. It is certainly the good kind. I went in 10 minutes before closing and they prepared the order no problem. I study Mandarin in my spare time so I figured it was a good time to test out my chops. They understood what I said. A miracle. And they said my Mandarin was pretty good and it upped my confidence in my speaking ability, so I had to give them a honest review: 太好吃了 ? Too good!

And very friendly staff not upset at all at my late ordering, but happy I ordered. I appreciate you for being open this late. I hadn't eaten all day.

Should also mention the atmosphere. Very nice with plenty of tables for a sit-in meal with your family and friends. Colorful. Comfortable. Very very clean.

Parking: The place is located in a large shopping plaza. It is on the leftmost side of the plaza (looking towards the shops from the road). To be clear, it's on the opposite end from the movie theater. It's right near the big department store. I think the store is Big Lots.

I don't really order from here, but my grandmother swears by it and prefers Vickies & Vickies only for the best local chinese food.

First time here, wasn't aware that it was CASH only most chinese take cares where I'm from. I walked in the American young man was working very friendly.I ordered my food and then he sees I pull a card and I'm thinking nothings posted about cash ans Miss Vickie is standing there she said we take this time as emergency but next time please bring cash I'm like ok.Ordervwas fixed pretty quickly order Haply family,soup and crab raggons and I've eat Chinese all over the country (Over the road ruck driver)this was ok and good but it wasn't the greatest I've ate.I saw awards hanging for voted top 100 Chinese but you would think if it's top 100 they would take cards. I'm little disappointed that the food wasn't better than what it was the crab raggons was very hard the center was great but the edges was was to crispy
