Family, Food, & Fortitude

Navigate the restaurant industry from the Chen siblings’ childhood to ownership of Sky Asian Fusion

Brother-sister duo John and Amy Chen were immersed in the restaurant business from an early age. Their father, once a cook in the Taiwan Navy, came to the United States with a dream of sharing his culinary talents. That dream took shape in Round Rock, where he opened a restaurant that became the family’s cornerstone for two decades. John and Amy spent their after-school hours helping out, learning the intricacies of the trade.

After graduating from the University of Texas, Amy gained experience as a server and cocktail waitress in Las Vegas. It wasn’t until her brother launched his latest culinary venture—a sushi restaurant—that she returned home to support.

John went on to take a bold leap after selling two restaurants, purchasing a mattress store with the vision of transforming it into Sky Asian Fusion. But this endeavor faced abrupt challenges when the pandemic struck just weeks after their opening.

“I was actually working here 365 days. In the end, it was a rewarding experience to see how one’s potential can get you through the hard times,” says Amy. “We were able to push through and stay in business. I’m blessed that we’ve made it this far and we’re still going.”

Sky Asian Fusion’s menu reflects a blend of tradition and creativity, featuring dishes from classic Chinese-American favorites to innovative twists inspired by various cities. Each meal is crafted with fresh ingredients and in-house preparations for sauces, showcasing their commitment to quality.

“The staff has a really good customer service background. They make people feel welcome and know how to explain the food items to provide the best recommendations for first-timers,” says Amy. “Our goal is to make a great first impression, and our food and service tell it all.”
