We went to Plum Tree Restaurant for the first time today. The food was so delicious. The service was also great. I highly recommend it. I will definitely come here more often, as there are so many dishes to enjoy!
The service was very friendly. The location needs a makeover. The food was a bit overpriced for the quality. Food was just okay but not bad. I think this place might be better when the students are back and it’s busier. If you’re really craving Japanese food and in the area then stop over for a quick bite! Might be better for their lunch special!
Very average. Food is definitely overpriced and the quality is not there. I remember getting two sushi rolls and being hungry at the end of it because they were just so small. Only reason why this place still exists is because of sake bombing. It helps that they never ID too, so I actually recommend it for sake bombing (although four seasons is probably better).
Food was just okay, but overpriced for the quality of food. The raw fish over the sushi was very thin and not fresh, and rice was too dry and firm. We ordered a beef sukiyaki which was not authentic and much more like a beef udon. We 3 people, spent $165, very disappointed.

I’m on my deathbed from mercury poisoning because I couldn’t stop eating spicy tuna at plum tree. They always say that on your deathbed, you regret not spending enough time with your family. I regret not spending enough time with the plum tree staff. If I could do it again I would, but I can’t. I’ll be dead by morning.
If you have a hankering for Japanese bento (lunch box) food, Plum Tree is barely OK . It 's conveniently located just steps from Cornell University 's campus. Service was fast attentive. However, the bento box lunch was blander than at any other Japanese restaurant I have visited. For lunch, I had the Chicken Tonkatsu (chicken strips fried in panko crumb batter) w plum sauce delicious. But the accompaniments (cold under salted edamame; meh California roll; boring house salad dumplings) were all so flavorless. At $14.95, the price was a bit too high. Interior decor also needs help: The burgundy booth seats, crimson painted walls salmon colored floor tiles sorely assault the eyes do not match. Tone it down. So, one star for atmosphere.

I ordered the gyozas along with two sides of rice. The gyozas were absolutely delicious, although the sauce was a bit too sour for my taste. Fortunately, I had some dumpling sauce at home that I was able to use instead. The portions of rice were quite generous, so I could have easily gotten by with just one side. I'll definitely be returning, and I'll be sure to have my dumpling sauce ready, as these gyozas were among the best I've ever tasted!
The food is absolutely delicious! The portion size is quite generous, which left me feeling very satisfied!
