Diner Review №1

The food here is delicious! There's no greasy taste or heavy feeling to the food. The pad Thai tastes really bright and I was surprised that something as common as pad Thai would stand out. The cream cheese won tons are craveable and stayed crunchy after the drive home. We've also gotten the yellow curry a few times and it tastes fresh and warm, like it should. Highly recommend this spot!

After eating here a second time (to make sure it wasn’t a fluke) I can definitively say that this is the best Thai that I have had south of Portland. There is a wonderful attention to detail, the food is seasoned (like real food!) and spiced really perfectly. I enjoy spicy food and the medium is exactly as hot as I want it to be (I could withstand more but it would detract from the enjoyment). The We’ve had 6 items from their menu, and all were exceptional. I rarely enjoy take out this much. Red Curry with Beef and Tofu Pad Kemao were particular standouts, but nothing is disappointing. My only suggestion is that if you order curry, get some extra rice. I had a friend whose family ran a much beloved Thai restaurant in Portsmouth NH for about twenty years, and this food reminds me exactly of that food that I miss and loved so much. Lovingly prepared like Auntie Tim used to make.

Worth noting as well is that their kitchen is brightly lit, and clean as a whistle. I worked in hospitality for 21 years and that is a refreshing thing to see lately in the world of counter service.

Portions and pricing are exceptional. Really a great little gem.

This was delicious! My husband and oldest son got the Pho and loved it, my youngest son devoured the spring rolls, and I ate entirely too much red curry, but couldn’t stop because it was so yummy! The food was exceptional, everyone was super friendly - we will definitely be back!

Always fresh ingredients and quick and friendly service. My favorite place for Thai food!

Diner Review №8

Amazing Pad Thai

Update: some how even better? Very demure

Diner Review №9

Excellent well prepared and flavorful

Diner Review №10

Food is pretty good but the place is take-out only, which they don't really advertise all that well. Service is the best it can be with one person working the counter. Prices of everything is ok, maybe a little high but thats not entirely their fault. Overall would give it like a 3.5

Diner Review №11

The pork Bahn Mi sandwich is out of this world! I see many in my future!

Diner Review №12

Loved this place!!! We were in the area visiting, thought we’d check it out- so glad we did!!! You can’t go wrong here, people are really kind, and we loved the atmosphere.

Diner Review №13

We were passing through the area and chose this place because of the reviews- it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the crab Rangoon, which comes in egg roll form. The Thai iced tea really hit the spot, as well. The pad Thai had a great taste and was not too oily. And the spring rolls were delicious, as well. If I lived locally, I would be eating here all the time! Highly recommend.

I’ve been addicted to their chicken banh mi and their crab rangoons.

Diner Review №16

Great food, ready on time! We got the green curry, orange chicken, and spring rolls. Very good portion sizes. Thank you!

Diner Review №17

This place is a hidden gem. We came here after a tournament nearby, my athlete was starving, i wanted Asian food. The young lady at the counter is super friendly and nice. There menu offered a variety of Asian cuisines.

The portions are large and the flavors are excellent. My athlete who usually has no trouble finishing pad Thai needed a to-go box. The massaman curry was delicious and loaded with fresh vegetables.

Too bad we live a bit far (over an hour away) otherwise this would be a regular spot.

Diner Review №18

Just ordered their Lo Mein Teriyaki, crab rangoons and veggie crispy spring rolls, and everything was delicious. The Lo Mein had a very tasty broth and made the meal feel light. Couldn’t eat it all so awesome leftovers. Will definitely order again.

Diner Review №19

I have gotten their food several times before but they seem to have significantly cut back their portions and removed multiple toppings. I would recommend Que Hong if you are looking for Thai food in Biddeford

I got the Pho and Tofu App. In the past the Pho came with some herbs (basil / cilantro) and chilis. This time it only came with the rice noodles and a couple bean sprouts. Also the container that had the broth wasn't full so I was left with mostly rice noodle.

Diner Review №20

We tried this for the first time last night. I was VERY impressed. First, the chef came out of the kitchen to thank us for our order when we picked it up. Second, it was the BEST chicken pad Thai I’ve had in a long time! I got the crispy veggie rolls as well and they were amazing. I am a forever customer of Asian Combo. 10 out of 10 stars!

Diner Review №21

Wow! The eggplant basil stir fry I try was delicious! I was very impressed by the tasty sauce and freshness of the vegetables. Great meal for a great price. Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. 10/10 would recommend for takeout!

Best Banh Mi Ever. Very Authentic. It brought me back to childhood. ❤️

Diner Review №24

Very nice people working and the food is just as amazing. Definitely recommend if you love this kinda food!

Diner Review №25

Got take out here with friends. Prices were high but we gave it a chance because it’s new and we saw all the good reviews. We got a few of the Thai noodle dishes, curry, spring rolls and crab rangoon. Everything was bland—none of the complexity of flavor you would expect from Thai food at this price point. The crab rangoon was the worst offender and tasted store bought. On the positive side portions were big, it was hot, wasn’t greasy and they didn’t hold back on the carrots 🥕.

Diner Review №26

The Pho was delicious and generous. The steamed dumplings were great and presentation was so colorful, served on grated carrots and grated red cabbage. Highly recommend

Diner Review №27

I ordered soup it had way too much basil in it and whatever "BEEF" that was used was suspicious n weird the whole soup was funky and had a funky smell not even n 1 hr later I'm sick as heck throwing up and didn't slow down till the morning ...definately have food poisoning great service tho everyone was so nice

Super good food and barely no wait. Even nicer people! Their indoor space is actually very cute too. So excited to have them in Biddo.

Diner Review №32

Okay, I hate doing this. I've worked in restaurants. My family has owned a restaurant. It's super hard, especially when you first open, and I'll be back in a few more months on the hope I can update this review to be more positive. Seeing how overwhelmingly positive the other reviews are, I'm hopeful it was a fluke.

The food was terrible. We ordered the duck and bacon dumplings, the orange chicken, and pork pad see ew, takeout on a Thursday.

The dumplings were disappointing with the bacon being super unnecessary and overpowering the duck completely. The sauce also seemed pretty thoughtless, making the dumplings worse than without the sauce.

The orange chicken was soupy with a very thin and very mild sauce. Generally orange chicken is served with a thick, flavorful sauce that primarily coats the chicken, rather than soaking the chicken and still delivering minimal flavor.

The Pad See Ew used the wrong type of noodle and was also drastically under seasoned. Pad See Ew is served with wide chewy fresh rice noodles with a distinct texture, whereas these were overcooked thin dried rice noodles. There was nowhere near enough sauce with the noodles being white on inspection, and almost no flavor on any of the ingredients.

The meal for two was $50. We could have eaten better and cheaper Asian food at Yummy House.

I'll update with good news if the next time goes better.

Generous portions and great food

Diner Review №35

Finally ordered dinner here tonight: fresh garden rolls, pad see ew w/ tofu, and green curry w/tofu. Our order was reasonably priced, ready on time, and absolutely delicious! Even if it wasn’t such a short walk, we’d be glad to make this a regular spot.

Diner Review №37

So delicious! Definitely gonna be my go to spot now. The orange chicken and spring rolls are out of this world!

Diner Review №38

This place is genuinely a breath of fresh air, we’ve been several times and the foods been consistently good. The customer service is top tier. I’d give a higher rating if possible.

Diner Review №39

You could use a couple tables not just the bar along the wall

Diner Review №40

Really good just a little expensive

Diner Review №41

The owner took good care of me. Even with a special order.

Diner Review №42

I was driving by, noticed Grand Opening and turned around. I got the pork Bahn Mi and crab rangoon. Yummy and tasty. Can’t wait for my kids to visit so we can all have it :)

Update: came bae on 11/1/23 for the Pho. It was great too. Def check this gem out!

Diner Review №43

Have visited these lovely folks twice now and will become a regular!
The service is sweet and the cooking is fast!
The food is immaculate.

I've tried the Teriyaki Pork Chow Mein, and it's a perfect balance of everything you want in a chow mein. The vegetables in it are amazing!!

Also tried the Pad Thai, which was also great and so filling.

Honey Garlic Wings- these were so goooood, hit the right spot! *I had a little bit of spillage issue with the container it came in, so just a note to the owner that you might need to secure it better*

Bubble Tea- The best in biddeford, would love to see some milk tea options in the future!

Will be back again soon!

Diner Review №46

Let me preface this review by stating I usually never review restaurants or anything really but I absolutely have to give Asian Combo 5 stars in a blatantly selfish attempt to help them stick around. That’s even at the risk they get so popular they’re food is hard to get , which I can easily imagine happening. Wow, this is the best Thai/Asian food I’ve tried in Biddeford after moving down from Portland 7 years ago. I am a big fan of Thai/Asian food and Portland has many good choices and I put Asian Combo up there with the best of them. This past Saturday we got a large takeout order and everything was was gone by lunch the following day. We ordered fried pork wontons, crab rangoon, chicken wings, pad Thai chicken, yellow curry chicken and orange chicken. All the flavors were on point and ingredients fresh. My biggest complaint with other Asian restaurants in the area is that the chicken has the consistency of rubber like it’s been precooked and sitting around for too long. This is not the case with this place. The orange chicken, which is what we get for our kids, was pan seared without a lot breading which was very delicious. The curry was very flavorful and well seasoned which can be tricky. Both apps were crispy and freshly prepared. The chicken wings were up there with some of the best around; big, crispy fried drumettes tossed in honey and garlic. My only criticism is that the pad Thai noodles were over sauced for my taste but my family had no problems. Again, if you’re looking for some freshly prepared Thai/Asian cuisine please give it a try and spread the word that Asian Combo is the real deal!

Diner Review №47

My husband and I ordered for pick-up and the process was fast and easy through the website provided. I ordered the Thai iced boba tea, it was so delicious I finished it on the walk home! As for food, we ordered veggie spring rolls, orange chicken and pho. Best orange chicken I’ve ever had! Tender and juicy, the vegetable were perfect - mushroom, purple cabbage, green beans, onion, carrots, and broccoli. I’ve never had a pho I liked until now. Perfect flavor. Everything was packed well and was still hot when we got home. This place appears to be family owned which is always a plus! Stop by Asian Combo for a hot and delicious meal!

Diner Review №52

This place is soo good, it has so many vegitarian/vegan food. The people were very nice and the food came out at a very reasonable speed.

Diner Review №53

Diner Review №54

Their boba tea was delicious! I enjoyed the Thai iced tea with black pearl boba and the mango tea with black pearl boba and mango jelly. Banh mi was also fabulous — ham is my favorite but you can’t go wrong with the pork.

Diner Review №55

Our first time!!! Absolutely delicious!
We will return frequently

Diner Review №56

We ordered our food online, and it was ready when we got there. In our order, they included a free order of Brussel sprouts, which were amazing. The only reason I gave four stars for food is the chicken was dry, but the flavors were fabulous with all our dishes. I had the chicken and basil leaves with no spice at all, and they nailed it. The balance of vegetables was so nice, because in the past with other restaurants there has been an over abundance of onions, but this was perfect. My husband had the chicken pad Thai with little spice and again it was excellent except for the chicken being dry. I will definitely be back. I understand it’s the first week and there’s kinks that have to be worked out.

New restaurant in town and it didn’t disappoint. Look at these dishes, they were all really good. Very tasty and portion sizes were perfect! Food was ready on time. Friendly staff. Can’t wait to go back and try some more things on the menu.

Diner Review №59

Stopped on a whim for a takeout lunch and will definitely be back. We got Massaman curry, Pad Thai, Scallion Cakes and Fresh Garden Rolls with Shrimp. Delicious, fresh ingredients, and big portions. Enough food for four who all agreed on how good it was. Welcome to the neighborhood!!

Diner Review №60

Great Sunday night football meal . Sandwiches are great ! Delicious fried rice !

Diner Review №61

I went on their soft open the day before the grand opening, and the Banh Mi I ordered was great! Super tasty and reasonably priced for a good sized sandwich. The menu is really varied, so I’m excited to try more over future visits. The staff was friendly too. Excited to have a new promising option in Biddeford!
