Yeh Chi Yao named her business after the Taiwanese word "a pou," meaning "old lady," sharing her belief that more life experience makes for better, tastier food. Since introducing Taiwanese street food to the scene 15 years ago, A-Pou's Taste hasn't slowed down, producing over 1,000 pot stickers every day.

She looks like such a sweet & genuine 'ah po' serving comfort food at 'street' food prices. Bless her :)
As a musician and a loyal customer for two years who rehearses at a studio nearby, this is a go-to cafeteria for all of us, and a-pou remembers all of our names every time. She is the real deal!
"You don't know my power. Do not judge me." Is such a great quote. She needs to put that on a placard or something
The backbone of this country.
The Taiwanese backbone of NYC, USA.
as a customer she really is the real deal, an inspirational character who i’ll never forget
What a beautiful lady. I pre-ordered my lunch for today 😊
Not really
Omg she shops at my old job .she has such a sweet soul and funny personality. always brings candy or a snack to share with everyone I have her # some where in my phone. she even use to drive me to the train after work god bless her and protect her 🤲🏽 and mind you ima big 6ft 280lb black man!
love this addded context. thanks for sharing it. this video was awesome, she's a legend, we need more people like her, and you, in this universe.
god bless "ah-po" and you
I love her energy and outlook on life. "You don't know my power, so don't judge me."
Agreed.
She is one heck of a jolly lady to grow old with... really envy her old man.
This is the cutest video I've watched in a loooong time, love her energy
She reminds me so much of my own Taiwanese grandma before she passed on. Miss you A-MA!
Pot stickers are one of the best food dishes ever to be invented.
I love pot stickers too! AND Egg Rolls.
Someone just decided to fry dumplings and now we have this delicious and crunchy piece of food.
It isn't just comfort food, it's a comfort video now as well 😊
That’s phenomenal work by her! Wishing her even more years of success in her restaurant!
Dang I visited a couple times since I moved to NYC. So glad she got a special about her spot cus she really deserves it, she is such a kind and sweet person when you visit
I think the smile and laughter they have are exactly what workers who work in big corporations need. like pure positive energy
That's exactly why that type of worker isn't in large corporations. Large corporations squash joy from their workers. They don't want them too happy or too angry.
As someone who is working in a big corporation, we don't need smile and laughter, we just need a pay rise
Hard to do when you have a big corporation crushing the soul out of you
@@blackandyellowfreak8facts lol. I’m happy enough outside of work, just give me a bigger paycheck and that’s all I need
I love her! She's got such a great positive and friendly vibe, I'm not surprised that they have so many regulars!
There's something about this business purveyor i really like. And the random guy named Balde. They've been working together for decades and I respect that also
The food looks delicious, her employees seem to love her, and she has THE best laugh.
Love Doris! She fed me well during my time working around the corner from there. Her food and kindness are like warm hugs.
I think all bosses and CEOs need to have a training seminar with her on how to be positive and treat everyone with kindness
I briefly worked as a carpenter around the corner from here, and they were always so welcoming and the food always incredible. I'm on the other end of the borough now but will certainly make a trip back!
I love her laugh. It's literally HAHAHAHA 😄
She has such a great sense of humor! and the fact that they had to corner Balde at the freezer to get him to compliment her 🤣
It's her positivity that brought the team together.
Making pot sticking as business is no joke and she's doing a splendid job running it.
She must be a very kind person, no way people would work for you as long as 20 years otherwise.
Her positive energy is so contagious haha.
She is a strong lady! Keep on doing what you're doing...food is great and you're happy!
wow her passion and happiness towards life is truly inspiring
what a genuine she looks so strong and positive.
"Don't underestimate my power"
-Doris
This lady is awesome if there is heaven she has a membership lol
she's gorgeous and so lovely , what a spirit ! I bet other staff all stay a long time
Her laughter is infectious!!! She is truly an Amazing Woman!!!
She started talking and i felt like I was being hugged and was talking to my favorite granma.
i’ve eaten at her restaurant and she really is the kindest person. it shows in the care she takes serving her food and greeting you when you come in-she makes everyone feel like they’re at home.
More stories like these please!
She's one of a kind... A master in disguise
Comfort food, comfort lady, comfort video. Nailed it, Eater. More please. 🥰
I love this lady shows her passion for
food and very compassionate to people
What an adorable old lady
One day I will make it to Brooklyn to eat those potstickers! Reminds me of my mothers 🇹🇼
Thank you grandma for bring love and energy ☺️
i love grandma, its such happy and sweet
This is the content I come to watch. I haven't watched eater in months because BBQ, pizza and rotisserie chicken.
The hard work combined with passion and driven with lots of strength. Wishing her many more years of those "Ha ha ha" 😊
Absolutely love her! What a delightful lady - her story and culture are what make New York, New York. More wonderful videos like this please @Eater!
at first i was confused "dahell is a pot sticker..." and then the lovely 婆婆 said 鍋貼 (guotie) and then i was like "aaaaaaah". she does reminded me of my late grandma (婆婆). same energy, same determination.
such a beautiful soul and story! She and people like here are the reason America is a beautiful country
Thank you guys for another lovely video of an amazing person as you portraits in free video ! :)
This was wholesome AF.
“You don’t know my power, so don’t judge me” ICONIC
Every boss, ceo, manager, etc. need to spend one day with her!!!
Now this is what America is supposed to be about. Nice to see the dream still lives on somewhere.
This gotta be Top 5 guests that Eater ever made a video on. What a whirlwind of a personality.
Huge respect for this lady
Wow! She is lovely. Thank you #Eater for always sharing the best of best people out there. #PotStickers
Thanks for watching!
Her energy her laugh is so contagious
What an incredible woman with a beautiful outlook on life. Hope I can visit her restaurant some day!
Her story is literally what America is all about.
She immigrated to America in the 80's, saw that there was a lack of something different to eat, so she decided to share what she knows with America.
America is not a melting pot, it's a salad. In a melting pot, all the flavors meld together and the whole bowl tastes the same without uniqueness. But, in a salad you can taste each individual ingredient and when you get a bite of everything, the flavors together make something unique
If you're a foreigner living in America, I hope you have as much joy sharing your culture with everyone you meet as this lady does.
what a lovely lady, God bless her.
This episode was beautiful. Really cut through to the soul. Will have to try if I’m ever in the area !!
Beautiful soul still full of energy
Love this type mama and papa shop. Just around the corner, nothing fancy but got the job done lol

“I’m getting too young” 😂 I love her spirit
You just have to love this lady. I would dine there daily too if I lived in New York, what a sweet lady.!!!
Yum! Pork is love. Pork is life.
Her braised pork belly with rice is also soooo goood!!!!
Usually when I see videos like this they have bad Yelp reviews and are overpriced so I don't trust what I see on camera. But this place looks like the real deal, affordable food made with love.
4.5 in Yelp.
@@Sakja That's what I mean, local working people actually like this place.
I would like to work for her too, what a fantastic work ethic.
Jesus, if I was there working, it would be hard, but so fun. And I would probably roll home after a week or two. It looks delicious comfort food.
More success to her
had to flex real quick with the antique leather
Immigrants that made the backbone of this country
Mis respetos ah esa ruquita
I am so jealous of her patrons
😭🥰👏🏾👍🏾🔥💖 I so love her energy, wisdom, and spirit. Such an inspiration, I just want to hug her she's so cute. What a lovely soul to be around.
Ugh! 😫 I wish I lived in NY to try her yummy looking food. 😋
I missed the pot stickers so much!!! I live in Japan now, the dumplings here are not the same.
yo this grandma is so cool she's even using bone conduction headphones
