Plum Blossom

685 Hoosick Road Troy, NY 12180
phone: (518) 272-0036

Jess adds: "I actually would advise against Plum Blossom - or else proceed with extreme caution. Most commercially available soy sauce contains wheat, making Chinese cuisine very tricky since most of it contains at least a little soy sauce. It can be done but to be honest, I just think it usually requires way too much effort."
