China's Inner Mongolia Little Sheep Catering Co has cooked up a storm to win three top awards for Chinese cuisine in the United States.

The Chinese hot pot chain competed against 43,000 Chinese restaurants from 50 US states to win the crown as one of the US's top 100 Chinese Local Delicacy, Chinese Healthy Cuisine, and New Restaurants, the company said in a statement yesterday.

The annual competition among leading Chinese restaurants in the US is opened only to Chinese catering companies which have a sales revenue of more than US$17.5 billion every year.
