The food here is fresh and tasty. Unfortunately, the customer service is not good. The manager is always unpleasant and rude. She barely smiles or feels welcoming and we have dined in multiple times.

The food was decent but the servers were so rude. You ask them a question about a dish and she snapped at us. Never came back to ask how the food was. The most unpleasant atmosphere. Learn some manners!

Portion size is huge. They have the best Pad See Ewe I’ve ever had in my life (and I’ve had a lot). Great service, super attentive. I just wish their spot was bigger!

Just another Chinese restaurant. Egg rolls overcooked and burned. Martinis as short as the owners height and attitude. Restaurant small and overpriced. Its in a strip mall next to the Goodwill. Thithis of Evergreen and Siam of Tinley much better food and ambiance.

Friday, May 23 2024 my friends and I visited Q Restaurant. The owner is so incredibly rude, no customer service for our party of 6. The food was absolutely atrocious and the service was worse. My friend wrote a review because the whole experience was absolutely shocking. The owner replied to her review with a terrible nasty comment like she has to everyone else’s negative one star reviews which are ALL ABOUT HER! You’d think if she cared about her business she would see these negative reviews and realize SHE IS THE PROBLEM! Not only that, she’s a liar! She replied that we came in with outside drinks and we insisted on drinking them and kept drinking them which is a complete LIE. We did come in with two sparkling waters and she came to the table and started to take them away and I said no we want those so I immediately took them back to the car. Then two people at the table ordered Pad Thai the owner said do you want it mild? Which was odd since Pad Thai is a very common Thai dish and it never comes spicy unless you may want to add chile to it. The pad Thai came out and it was literally shredded raw carrots, shredded raw red cabbage, and boiled noodles NO SAUCE! We asked why the Pad Thai had no sauce and the owner replied “you order mild!!!” She was very nasty and dismissive so when our $177 bill came out and no one ate those disgusting plain boiled noodles, I asked her to take them off the bill. She refused and said “no! You order mild!!!” I said that’s not mild that’s no sauce no flavor. She continued to make nasty comments and when replying to my friend’s review she said we changed the Pad Thai order and wanted to not pay. Of course we didn’t want to pay for that slop. I’ve read all of the negative comments and she is the problem. She obviously thinks the customers are the nasty ones and she’s in the right. Please look at the one star reviews and you will see for yourself!

This restaurant is truly phenomenal! The only downside is the high prices. The dishes are very much worth the price, but just not a place I would be able to dine at regularly. But I wish I could. The flavors in the dishes are outstanding and you will not be disappointed. And everything is so fresh!
I wish they would offer some weekly lunch specials on their thai dishes. I would be there more often!

Terrible Service and a Disappointing Experience at Q Restaurant, Lemont
We visited Q Restaurant in Lemont on 5/24/25 hoping for a nice Thai dinner, but unfortunately, our experience was defined by one of the rudest and most unprofessional server/owner I’ve ever encountered.
From the moment we arrived, the waitress seemed annoyed and impatient. She made no effort to be welcoming, and every question or request was met with visible frustration, as if we were inconveniencing her by dining there.
The food was hit or miss — the Avocado Lover appetizer was good, and the Thai Cashew and Red Curry were decent. However, both Pad Thai dishes we ordered were a disaster. One of them was for my daughter, who simply asked for it without onions or egg — a request that’s never been an issue at any other Thai restaurant. The waitress asked whether we wanted it mild or spicy, which was odd since Pad Thai isn’t typically spicy in the first place, but we chose mild, assuming they add chili by default.
What arrived was shocking — completely pale, flavorless noodles that tasted only of vegetable oil, with no trace of sauce or seasoning. It was inedible. My daughter took one bite and pushed it aside. We mentioned this calmly when the waitress checked on us, expecting at least some acknowledgment or an offer to remedy the situation.
Instead, she became immediately defensive, blaming us for ordering it mild. According to her, the lack of flavor was our fault — apparently, the chili is what gives it taste. Not only is that inaccurate (Pad Thai gets its flavor from tamarind, fish sauce, palm sugar, etc.), but her tone was dismissive and condescending. When we explained that we order Pad Thai regularly and have never had this issue, she doubled down and even criticized us for asking for no onions — again, as if our basic preferences somehow invalidated the poor quality of the dish.
When we received the bill, we were shocked to see we’d been charged for both Pad Thai dishes — despite the fact that one was barely touched. We asked, respectfully, if anything could be done about that, and she flat-out refused. To add insult to injury, she then loudly called across the restaurant to another table of women, “How was the Pad Thai, ladies? It was great, right?” in what was clearly a deliberate attempt to make us feel embarrassed or isolated.
I’ve never experienced such hostility from restaurant staff, especially over something so minor and easily remedied. This wasn’t a case of a simple mistake — it was a case of being treated with open disdain by someone who clearly should not be working in customer service.
We will absolutely not be returning, and I would strongly caution anyone who values respectful service and a decent dining experience to avoid this place.
Edit, after writing this review I was not surprised to see all the negative comments about the owner, it looks like she’s a very rude person and definitely should not be in the service industry, avoid this place like the plague if you want to be treated decently!

Q is an upscale restaurant with a fantastic martini menu. This is not typical grab and go Thai food but hand crafted, fresh ingredients, high quality dining experience. I’ve tried multiple things on their menu for years and it’s always been exceptional. Their chef takes true pride in her work. This should be a top rated restaurant in Lemont for sure!
Always prepared and plated to perfection, Delicious, and clever martinis and cocktails for pairing.
