Maison VIP

La Maison VIP has long been a go-to spot in Chinatown for Cantonese favourites that hit the spot every time. Known for its generous portions and wallet-friendly prices, this unassuming eatery serves up staples like General Tao chicken, Cantonese chow mein, and shrimp in lobster sauce. For something special, the ginger lobster is a standout—a splurge-worthy dish that’s worth every penny.

The cozy, unfussy atmosphere complements a menu that’s full of crowd-pleasers, from beef with bitter melon to garlic stir-fried snow peas. While it’s no longer open until the early hours, Maison VIP remains a solid choice for lunch, dinner, or a late evening meal. Service is straightforward, and the portions are big enough for leftovers.
