The Chinese version of Shake Shack is coming to America.

Uncle Sam's, which is based in Beijing, plans to open a restaurant on May 18 near the Empire State Building in New York City, reports Katie Little at CNBC.

The menu was "crafted by a consulting team led by a James Beard Award-winning chef," Little writes.

The chain intends to compete with Shake Shack, The Real Deal reports.

Uncle Sam's has two highly popular locations in Beijing.

Here are some of the sandwiches it will offer.
