La Crosse, Wisconsin, is home to some of the finest restaurants. You can find good food in just about every style, including Asian. If you love Asian cuisine and you're looking for a new place to try, check out one of these four Asian restaurants considered the best in the region.

1. HuHot Mongolian Grill

HuHot Mongolian Grill is not a Chinese buffet but a unique market-style spread of sauces and ingredients that allow you to create your own stir-fry masterpiece. You select everything from your raw proteins to toppings and ingredients and deliver them to the chefs. They then work their magic to pull your idea into a dish that is as beautiful and delicious as it is distinctly yours.

Order from a variety of tasty a la carte appetizers separately from your stir-fry creation. Krab rangoons are your classic wonton wrapper stuffed with imitation crab and cream cheese, then deep-fried. You might also enjoy delicious Asian potstickers stuffed with chicken and vegetables. If you can't decide, order the Taste of the Bounty appetizer sampler to get egg rolls, krab rangoons, and potstickers to share.

HuHot has more than 140 recipes you can draw inspiration from. You can stick to the ingredients and let the chefs cook the dish, or you can add and subtract ingredients to create your own version of classic Asian recipes. You can also go completely off-book and come up with your own ideas. The possibilities are nearly endless.

2. Shogun Sushi and Hibachi

Up the road in nearby Onalaska, you'll find the delicious and entertaining Shogun. Enjoy fresh hand-rolled sushi, or sit down for a fun hibachi dining experience. Hibachi chefs will entertain you while you watch them cook your preselected ingredients. Volcano onions, flying shrimp, and smiles are all on the menu. Of course, you'll love the fresh-cut filet mignon, jumbo gulf shrimp, and more cooked to perfection before your eyes.

3. New Taste of India

While not classically associated with Asian cuisine, Indian food is unique and flavorful and will satisfy your Asian cravings. New Taste of India captures all the exotic spices you know and love. 

Start your meal with a samosa, which is a fried pastry shell stuffed with potatoes and vegetables. Order the handmade hummus with warm naan for dipping, or go for the famous Mulligatawny soup of lentils, fresh herbs, and Indian spices. Entrees impress with savory options such as tandoori chicken, lamb tikka, and shrimp biryani. The restaurant also has an extensive selection of tandoori bread to enjoy.

4. Yang's Oriental Market

This oriental market gets a mention here for its spectacular Soua's Deli. Order hot food to go, and enjoy some of the best pad thai and curry dishes around. You'll find all your favorites made fresh daily and served with a smile.

Asian food is an exotic adventure for the palate. Thankfully, you can find great Asian restaurants right here in La Crosse. The next time you're craving the unique taste of Asia, check out these four restaurants for an amazing dining experience.
