Welcome to the "New York Minute", a neighborhood favorite for Chinese-American; Carry-Out, Catering, & Delivery. Kim started her career in the 1960's at the famed "Chin Tiki" restaurant in downtown Detroit. That's right, she was a "Chin Tiki Girl" as referenced by Eminem in the movie 8-mile's rap battle location and song. Kim worked her way up to management at Chin-Tiki, later moving on to manage
the VIP Japanese restaurant in the Southfield Town-Center, before becoming the catering director at the Pontiac Sheraton Hotel. Kim had the realization, that if her cooking could appease the hungriest of appetites, i.e. The Detroit Lions Players and their opponents...that she could undoubtedly satisfy an army of hungry kids and parents too. Kim started off on her own and founded the "New York Minute" in 2007. For the past 10 years she has applied her lifelong restaurant experience to create her unique versions of traditional Chinese-American cuisine. Her creativity with flavoring has earned her the well deserved customer distinction...
"Hands down...the best Chinese food in Oakland County"
When you arrive at the New York Minute, the first thing that's obvious is the store does not share the traditional "cliche" appearance of every other Chinese restaurant. This is by design, when you're a small business owner, you start out with a choice...spend your money on the looks, or spend your money on the highest quality products...
Sure, our profit margins are a little smaller...but so's the mortgage...and our sales speak for themselves! Combining secret sauces, dedicated cooks, and the highest quality meats with a relentless pursuit of perfection has made the "New York Minute" a "Hidden Gem" Northern Oakland county. All meats and vegetable are prepared fresh, Ms. Kim knows you expect the highest quality and does not cut corners for her own profit, and her food will NEVER hide behind a fried taste! This is not an "overly-breaded buffet". This is really REALLY good Chinese-American food...
