    General Tso's chicken

    Amazing service, seems like the inside has been updated some with Asian decor. The Hot and Sour soup was delicious, but the spring roll and General Tso's chicken was lacking in flavor/salt. I'll be ordering their Hot and Sour soup when I'm in the area!

    Plum Tree has been one of my go to spots since 2012. The food is average, the people are friendly, and the prices are reasonable (this was key when I was in school). The building is not the most elaborate structure, but it does have a homey feel inside. * I came here recently and ordered shrimp with lobster sauce, fried rice, and hot & sour soup. The soup is always good. It's not really hot (spicy) but it is good. The shrimp with lobster sauce is just average. The diced vegetables taste like they're from a frozen bag and the sauce is just ok. Not really sure that I can say it taste like lobster sauce. The fried rice was blah...but the taste was better with a little lobster sauce and a bit of soy sauce. * I'm probably a little bias and overrating the place since I ate it so much in school. I just have to stop by Plum Tree whenever i'm in Knoxville.

    It was not clean. The food quality has slipoed quite a bit. There are much better Chinese restaurants in the area.

    This restaurant is an overlooked gem. The Malaysian dishes are great and uncommon locally. Go for the food, not for the decor.

    I went out to dinner with my mom and some family friends this past Wed. There used to be a really…read moregood Chinese restaurant in Knoxville...honestly i don't remember its name or location but it doesn't exist anymore. My mom said Asia Kitchen is the best Chinese in the city now. Unfortunately if that is correct, then it makes me very sad. I have eaten at "Real" Chinese restaurants before and this is not close imo. I got Szechuan Beef...this is supposed to be a very spicy dish. My order was not spicy at all...not saying it was bland, but it didn't have the "kick" I was expecting. My mom shared a whole steamed fish with her friends. They did enjoy it, but it wasn't for me. I have decided to bump my rating up to four stars because of the wonton/egg drop soup. I didn't even realize this was a thing. We got one large serving and it was plenty for the table. Finally the reason i didn't give 5 stars was because of the table service. The others brought wine , but i ordered a Diet Coke when we were seated. Unfortunately it never arrived...our server acknowledged my order, but I guess she forgot during the dinner rush. I did have water so I didn't complain. Overall dinner was ok...it was very nice that we were allowed to take our time.

    A robust menu with a lot to choose from. All of the standards plus more traditional dishes…read more Food was great and service was personable. We will return next time in the area.

    It was time for my family to venture from our normal Chinese food place and try a new place. We…read moreheard good things about the food and pricing so we were excited to try! We ordered a LOT so we could sample things- it was about $74 and around $84 after tax's and fees. Ordered was (also note combos include egg roll and either a type of rice Pelli mein): -Beef and broccoli combo white rice -Chicken lomein combo chicken fried rice -Egg drop soup -Extra egg rolls -Pork egg foo young -And moo goo with no mushrooms The eggs rolls are AMAZING! Would totally eat 10. Egg foo young was good and the sauce was interesting. It didn't taste like traditional brown sauce and had more of an almost sweet flavor but very slight, and the color was like chicken gravy and not even brown. Lo mein was good and had decent flavor, but border line bland. The white rice was nice and fluffy and not hard. As for the chicken fried rice it was very bland and very dry-super disappointed in that. Beef and broccoli combo with white rice was good and had good flavor. Food portions are small. The combination platters are not shareable so just a heads up. I would say overall the food flavor was decent but my normal Chinese place, there is a lot more flavor so I don't think we will be back as it wasn't quite worth the almost 40 minute drive to and then 50+ back home with traffic. But if you're close and want some decent inexpensive Chinese food-this is your spot to try! Oh and note if you're doing take out- you have to order and pay $1 for sauces. We got no sauces with our egg rolls and I noticed after you have to purchase them in packs. UPDATE: I have never in my life experienced such bad bloating! My brother and I both got sick after eating! We both look 8 months pregnant and have never experienced anything like it! Changed my rating to 2 stars!
