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.

She looks like such a sweet & genuine 'ah po' serving comfort food at 'street' food prices. Bless her :)
"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
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!
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
The backbone of this country.
The Taiwanese backbone of NYC, USA.
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!
It isn't just comfort food, it's a comfort video now as well 😊
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.
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
That’s phenomenal work by her! Wishing her even more years of success in her restaurant!
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
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
I love her! She's got such a great positive and friendly vibe, I'm not surprised that they have so many regulars!
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.
Exactly right regarding melting pot soup vs salad. A perfect analogy.
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 🤣
The food looks delicious, her employees seem to love her, and she has THE best laugh.
I love her laugh. It's literally HAHAHAHA 😄
She started talking and i felt like I was being hugged and was talking to my favorite granma.
what a genuine she looks so strong and positive.
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!

She's one of a kind... A master in disguise
I could watch an entire season just watching her work
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.
Every boss, ceo, manager, etc. need to spend one day with her!!!
The hard work combined with passion and driven with lots of strength. Wishing her many more years of those "Ha ha ha" 😊
This gotta be Top 5 guests that Eater ever made a video on. What a whirlwind of a personality.
