Plum Tree Restaurant

We went to Plum Tree Restaurant today for the first time. The food was so delicious. The service was great as well. I highly recommend it. I will definitely come here more often as there are so many dishes to enjoy!

Absolutely delicious Japanese food. I had Yaki-Udon with chicken, which I loveedd and definitely recommend! I've heard that sake bombs here are worth the try too! I also ordered a miso soup, I personally am not a fan of those, but this was palatable. Sashimi platter was fresh it had 5 types of meat and I thought the quantity was decent. Definitely recommend the salmon here though.

Solid place. Fair prices, decent venue, and quick service.

The sushi and other entrees served here were great and inexpensive. The server was always attentive and kind.

Got lunch with a friend and they were very attentive. If you don’t know what to get, the lunch special w 2 rolls and miso soup is totally worth it and the takoyaki is also super tasty! Will definitely go again.

The food was very delicious and the waitress were very kind!! I recommend it :D

Great sushi, service, and atmosphere! The rolls here are delicious and the waiter was very kind, although he was very busy so it was hard to get his attention sometimes. Overall would definitely recommend!

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The chicken katsu was delicious. The raw fish was tasty (although the rice was a bit hard). The service was kind and patient. Given how far Ithaca is from an airport and Japan, my expectations were very low but Plum Tree surpassed them by miles.

The beef yakisoba I ordered was so tasty! The portion is big too. If I crave Japanese food, this is the restaurant I will choose in Ithaca.

Lived right next door for three years. Good selection, nice staff. Good sushi. Overall 4 stars because in my opinion, the tempura is a little lacking. But if you’re going for sushi, it’s reasonably priced and decent quality (especially being so far from the sea).

The sushi is pretty good, the specialty rolls are very creative. There are many different choices and they range in price from $10/roll to close to $22/roll. If you are dining in, they are very accommodating of big parties and sake bombing. This is a great place to celebrate birthdays or other occasions.

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!

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.

The tempura I ordered came in as a big set, very filling, but the tempura sauce tasted almost just like ordinary soy sauce, which made the meal a little bit dull. The avocado sushi roll was pretty good.

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.

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).

Had a terrible waiter, very inpatient and did not care about the customer. I don’t understand how can he even directly asked me to give him tips. The sushi is just fine, but not worth the price. This is a never-visit-twice place, perhaps you do not want to visit ever. It is sad that we have this kind of bad restaurant at Ithaca.
