We went to Q2 Bistro an Asian restaurant at Polaris for the first time last Friday. We wondered if Q2 Bistro had just been open a couple of months… business was not booming Friday night but it was about 8:00. Maybe Q2 Bistro had an early dinner crowd.

No grand opening signs… so we guessed Q2 Bistro had been open three months or more… I guess not according to the Columbus Dispatch,  Q2 had their first Anniversary in January 2008.  I read that in the Columbus Dispatch Cantonese cuisine an old-school treat” after eating at Q2.

Q1 is not all Cantonese. I like Cantonese although I started out eating just Hunan and Szechuan food, when I fell in love with Chinese food.   At Q2 Bistro I had Szechuan Shrimp.  It was tasty.  I wish I had paid more attention to the ingredients (vegtables) I might have gone with the Hunan version instead.  My dish was spicy.

The food was gorgeous, if I was a food blogger there’d be images here.  I think my plate was mostly clean before I remembered I could take a photo with my phone.  Duh.  Or maybe I was hungry.  The restaurant is gorgeous.  Very simple and contemporary.

How could I not know the restaurant was there almost two years now?  I don’t eat “Chinese” food much… and the stretch of Polaris Parkway east of Cleveland Avenue is a stretch I seldom travel. Q2 Asian Bistro is at 472 Polaris Parkway, Westerville, Ohio. Phone is 614-898-1988… in case you want to call ahead for a table… or for carry-out.  People came in for carry-out while we were there.
