Best Dishes at A-Pou's Taste
Braised Pork Over Rice
MainsClassic Taiwanese comfort food. Braised pork belly cooks in a rich soy-based sauce with preserved vegetables, served over white rice with a halved soft-boiled or hard-boiled egg. The meat is melt-in-your-mouth tender. A $6 lunch special when available.
Beef Noodle Soup
MainsA warming Taiwanese classic. Beef chuck is slow-cooked until tender in a fragrant broth, served with hand-pulled or thick noodles. The broth is deeply flavored from hours of cooking. Often cited as a cold-weather favorite.
Potstickers Over Lo Mein
