Krazian Fuzian in Sheboygan blends cultures, community, and cuisine
Official grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony will be held Thursday
SHEBOYGAN — A bold new restaurant is making waves in Sheboygan’s culinary scene with a uniquely flavorful blend of Asian and American traditions.
Krazian Fuzian, located at 906 South 15th Street, offers a vibrant and welcoming space where flavors, cultures, and community come together. The team has been fine-tuning operations since their soft opening in May, using the time to refine service, gather customer feedback, and prepare for a lasting debut in the community.
To celebrate the launch of this new culinary destination, Krazian Fuzian will host its official grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, August 1st at 3 PM. The public is warmly invited to attend, meet the owner, enjoy food and drink, and experience firsthand the flavors that make this restaurant stand out.
Founded by local entrepreneur Lao Yang, Krazian Fuzian was born from a passion for blending the bold, rich tastes of Eastern culinary traditions with the hearty, familiar comfort of Western fare. With a contemporary yet cozy ambiance, the restaurant offers a diverse menu and a thoughtfully curated selection of domestic and imported beverages. “Every dish we serve is a celebration of creativity,” said Yang. “We don’t just cook—we combine cultures, stories, and experiences.”
The restaurant isn’t just about the food, it’s about community. Yang takes pride in connecting with customers each day, posting daily specials to social media, engaging with diners face-to-face, and making the restaurant a hub for connection and conversation. “Whether someone stops in for a quick bite or a night out, we want them to feel like part of something special,” she said.
To bring her vision to life, Yang worked closely with the Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation (SCEDC), the Small Business Development Center at UW-Green Bay and the Hmong Wisconsin Chamber of Commerce. “Lao's effort on her business plan paid off,” said Ray York, Business Counselor for the SCEDC. “She was able to pull all the pieces together and work with great statewide and local organizations to make her idea a reality.”
Additional support came from Peng Moua, Regional Business Manager for the Hmong Wisconsin Chamber of Commerce, who helped Yang navigate financing options and business planning. Lindsey Wiesner, Business Relationship Manager at United One Credit Union, also played a key role in helping Yang secure SBA funding, further enabling the restaurant’s successful launch.
Looking ahead, Yang envisions Krazian Fuzian growing into a vibrant culinary destination, where adventurous food lovers gather to explore new flavors and experiences. “My long-term goal is for Krazian Fuzian to become a place where culinary creativity thrives and the community feels at home,” she said.
Before Krazian Fuzian opened in May, it had been home to Emmer’s and the Eagles Club. Wayne Emmer sold the 9,803-square-foot building for $345,400 in August 2024 to Yang. Renovations were completed earlier this year.
Emmer purchased the building in July 1995 for $70,000 from the Eagles Club. Sheboygan's Fraternal Order of Eagles was founded in 1902 and boasted Wisconsin's highest membership behind Milwaukee. The organization sold the building due to decreasing membership and increasing costs to operate the building. Before becoming a bar in 1968, the building was home to the G.W. Schmitt General Store and Steffen Funeral Chapel.
