Located off Crystal Falls Parkway, Sky Asian Fusion can be found among Leander’s growing residential neighborhoods.

The backstory

Brother-and-sister duo Amy and John Chen opened the restaurant just two weeks before the coronavirus outbreak began in February 2020.

As a result of the restaurant’s early days, Amy said the business has built a strong to-go order community. She’s working to expand the restaurant’s dine-in appeal by enhancing its ambiance.

“It’s not your traditional Chinese restaurant that you walk in with the Chinese decoration. Ours is very modern,” Amy said. “It's a place you would like to stay forever. It's just a very nice, calm and relaxing atmosphere.”


A family affair

Amy is no stranger to the restaurant business. She said her parents owned a restaurant in Round Rock for 20 years and John owned another in Avery Ranch for over 10 years. Despite spending her childhood near the industry, Amy said she never thought owning a restaurant was in her future.

“There's a side where you're like you never want to do this because it's too much work and long hours,” Amy said. “But then you start, and for some reason, you're just attached to it.”

While her family’s previous restaurants have since closed, Amy said she takes pride in making Sky Asian Fusion a place where the Leander community can enjoy a variety of Asian dishes.


Must-try menu items

Amy said the restaurant stands out from other Asian restaurants in the area because its dishes offer a mix of Taiwanese, Japanese and Chinese cuisine.

She said the restaurant offers distinct entrees such as the golden ribeye, the honey-walnut shrimp with a cornstarch batter and the Taiwanese version of a bao slider.
