While most people associate every town in Maine with fresh seafood, there's actually another style of cuisine that you'll find scattered across the state.

That would be Asian cuisine. Whether it's a small neighborhood Chinese restaurant or a corner spot serving up homemade Thai recipes, Asian cuisine really is a standard in Maine.

Because Asian cuisine has become a large part of the dining experience in Vacationland, you rarely see them go out of business.

But that's exactly what is happening to one recognizable Asian restaurant in the heart of Biddeford, Maine.
