Customer Review Summary

Temptation House draws consistent praise for its authentic Chinese food, with several reviewers calling it the best they have had in the UK and highlighting dishes like Chicken Green Pepper & Black Bean Sauce, Special Spicy in Yellow Bean Sauce, and Salt & Pepper Chips. Diners frequently note the generous portions, reasonable prices, and the ability to tailor dishes with seafood for those avoiding pork. However, a recurring pattern of serious complaints runs through the reviews, with multiple long-time customers reporting a sharp decline in quality over the past year and a half, describing food as stone cold, greasy, or tasting reheated. Service failures also surface repeatedly, including a £40 no-show order blamed on a missing delivery driver, a wrong sauce sent after the order was read back, and a delivery driver described as rude when a customer raised a parking issue.

    Ive always loved the food from here and it is lovely! The owners and daughter have always been lovely. However customers and the delievery driver block access to a road that leads to our homes. Afyer blocking me from entering my own street with my disabled husband in the car I entered the takeaway to ask them to tell customers not to park there. Only to be met by a absolute rude woman who is a delievery driver for them. I will not be buying from them again due to the way I spoken to tonight in front of other customers too.

    Absolutely a waste of space no show with a £40 order then told a pack of lies about waiting for his delivery driver to come back. Then when tried to call the phone was picked up and could hear laughing if I could rate this take away a minus it would be a -10
