What is Lobster Cantonese, just curious?
I'm assuming Chinatown would be your best bet. Any good restaurant in Chinatown will serve Lobster prepared a number of ways.

Lobster Cantonese is a classic Chinese-American dish of lobster in a sauce made with fermented black beans and ground pork. Sometimes you'll see "shrimp in lobster sauce" on old-school menus, and that's shrimp in the sauce that would otherwise be used for lobster. You're going to be most likely to find it at somewhat old-fashioned restaurants -- the ones that feature egg rolls and lo mein rather than soup dumplings and cold sesame noodles.

Hmm...I went and looked up Lobster Cantonese...and the description at first reminded me of a dish commonly served in Cantonese restaurants across Chinatown...cut up, shell-on lobster is very light battered and stir fried with a light soy-based sauce with scallions (sometimes thickened with corn starch).
No black beans or ground pork as far as I can recall...but you're probably right about it only showing up in Chinese-American restaurants.
And lobster sauce...isn't that that cornstarchy white sauce with the wisps of egg white in it?

Monday night I had great lobster Cantonese at Chan's Dragon Inn on Broad Ave in Ridgefield NJ. It's about a ten-fifteen minute drive once you get over GW bridge. They make all the old fashioned Cantonese and polynesian dishes including ribs, pu pu's, subgum wonton, dark fried rice and great mai tais and zombies. It's a real throwback and we love it. Ask for david the owner and tell him Scott sent you.

Take a walk through Chinatown and look at menus posted outside. You'll probably find what you're looking for within three blocks, and all that menu-reading will serve as a very effective appetizer.
Or if you like planning ahead, check out this
menupages search I just did for you.
Please let us know if you find what you're craving!
