Plum Tree
I am a huge fan of most ethnic cuisine. I love Italian, Japanese, Cajun, and Caribbean foods but my favorite is probably Chinese food. From Mandarin to Schezuan I am a huge connoisseur of Chinese cooking. Not only do I love to make Chinese food at home for friends and family, I love to eat at a variety of Chinese restaurants.
In Knoxville, where I have lived on three separate occasions separated by several years, I love the Plum Tree restaurant. The Plum Tree is a medium sized place with all the traditional red and gold decorations of most independently owned Chinese restaurants. What you will not find are rude servers who are simply trying to rush through as many tables as possible to garner the most tips possible. The staff at Plum Tree treat you with courtesy and respect. As for the food, it is excellent! The in house sauces are as rich in their diverse flavors as any I have ever tasted. The vegetables are always fresh and prepared to perfection. As I am a vegetarian, I can only tell you that my dining companions have truly raved about everything from the seafood to the beef! If you are looking for an authentic Chinese restaurant in Knoxville, this is the place to go!
They are located at 7052 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN 37919 and can be reached via phone at 865-588-2002.
