Gon Bui is a new Chinese resto-bar inspired by the lost temples in China. Gon Bui means 'Cheers' in Cantonese. We create our own new-Asian tapas dishes, inspired from traditional with a playful twist.
Gon Bui Restaurant Bar delivers a stylish, welcoming atmosphere with moody lighting, chic decor and a fortune tree that adds a memorable touch for any occasion. The menu blends Chinese inspired flavors with contemporary twists and offers plenty of shareable plates that are flavorful, well presented and often praised for freshness. Cocktails are inventive and varied, with many options and some standout signatures that complement the bold flavors. The service is described as friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, helping guests navigate and enjoy their meals, though a few notes about busy times mention occasional delays. The vibe is lively and social, whether brunch, night out with friends or date night, with music and a vibrant yet comfortable environment. This Laval favorite is repeatedly cited for high quality food and drinks, warm hospitality and a decor that makes it a standout spot worth returning to.
50$ bill for a main course & a Mocktail. I had the hong kong curry & a duo mango mocktail, it was extremely average. Staff was okay, for such a price I'd expect more. It feels more like we're paying for the atmosphere which is truly unique. Rest could be recreated by an average joe. 5/10
Too sweet. It feels like eating syrup. 4ppl ordering 3'salés' & 1'sweet'. Even the salade or the curry has syrup on it! The sweet dishes are supposed to be sweet, but the'plats salés' really shouldn't be THIS SWEET! It's too sweet! Ahhhh Ugh....
Good vibe though.

First Timer
Decided to have a try after I saw the decor on Maps.
- Parking available
- We went without reservation & we were seated.
- Staffs were welcoming.
- Place is super cosy & clean.
As for food, we had the Fried Calamari which was very good & with not so usual flavours but still very good. & this heighten our expectations for the main course.
The waiter suggested the Lobster noodles & the Chicken Curry so we went ahead with that. However, I was personally I bit disappointed after having such good Calamari. The meals weren't bad but they were OK. My curry (marked as spicy), was more sugary for example.
Presentation-wise they are good but I personally feels they lack depth/flavours in the meals we were served. Not so value for money...
In terms of price, they are above average making a total of 98$ for one starter, & two meals. (tips starting at 18%)
Staff was friendly & helped newcomers (us) selecting food.
It is better to share food with at least one person.
Food was amazing (specifically the hong joy curry) except for one brocoli dish. We ate the curry before hand so it could have affected the taste of the brocoli.
FANTASTIC restaurant. The food, the drinks & the service were all spectacular. I ordered a lot & loved every single bite. The Hong Kong curry is an absolute must-have.
I will be coming back to try more cocktails. 😅😁😍
Absolutely loved the hostess (very warm & welcoming) & a big thank you to my waiter, Clark. The service was timely & efficient.
The vibe of this chinese restaurant is the best, they play good music & quick service.
The only thing that makes me remove a star is the fact that theres not that many gluten free options but as a celiac I really enjoyed their Hong Kong curry, it was delicious. Highly recommend!
Their drinks are also very good.

Cool place ! Came here Friday evening, group of 6 ppl. As you enter the atmosphere is really cool & DJ playing music. This is like a tapas place, I recommend to share & try different dishes. The got a bit of everything, my favorite was the fried squid & the chicken curry. Drinks were good as well.

Food was divine. The Hong Kong curry is delectable. However, the chicken in the burger was probably the driest I've ever encountered. Atmosphere would be waay better without a DJ blasting obnoxiously loud club music.

Original drinks, Wonton was right, Beef dumplings was fresh & the curry was tasty. Even if the service was divided between server I have nothing to say about it. Very affordable & various options ranging by portion. Overall, it was a nice discovery, I would recommend to try it, but for myself I would not go again, nothing made me go crazy.
J'ai aimé ma première expérience dans ce restaurant chinois avec le concept tapas. Mon coup de coeur a été le calmar frit servi sur un lit de laitue & arrosé d'une sauce épicée. La généreuse portion de cuisses de poulet "Hong Kong Curry" accompagnées de patates & servies dans une sauce curry était délicieuse. Le service était rapide & serveur courtois.
Très beau décor & excellente nourriture. On a particulièrement aimé la soupe wonton & le curry Hong Kong. Bien que le service était un peu long, le personnel était très sympathique.
Je suis allée deux fois au Gun Bui & j'ai adoré mes expériences! Le menu est DÉLICIEUX & hors du commun! Nous avons pris les plats à partager & j'ai goûté aux plats suivant: soupe wonton, dumplings, nouilles au boeuf, nouilles Udon sauce Alfredo (mon coup de coeur 😍), le curry, les brocolis chinois dont la sauce est TELLEMENT BONNE! Tous les plats se démarquent vraiment & il y a plusieurs styles de nourriture asiatique fusionnés ensemble! Il y a un beau choix de cocktails intéressants & de vin! Mon seul commentaire moins positif: lors d'une de mes visites, j'y suis allée & c'était beaucoup trop bruyant avec la présence du DJ. Autrement, tout était parfait & nous avons reçu un très bon service de la part de Clark. Je recommande fortement le Gon Bui pour une expérience culinaire 😋😍

La nourriture est excellente! Le Poulet Curry était la plus grande susprise pour nous. La sauce était très gouteuse. Les dumplings ne sont pas des dumplings traditionnels, mais valent vraiment la peine d'être essayés. Ils étaient, eux aussi, délicieux. Nous sommes allé un samedi soir, donc il y avait également un DJ sur place qui agrémentait l'ambiance. Définitivement un endroit ou je retournerais!
Great place for a cocktail & tapas. As an Asian, i dont think is the best place for dimsum snacks, but good to have a cocktail. Went for dinner & asked for the noodles & curry rice. The hagao was not that impressive as a regular dimsum place. Definately will go back for more cocktails but no main meal. The place has good vibes & staff are friendly
Nous y sommes allés le soir du nouvel an chinois (par hasard) alors c'était bondé (je ne sais pas si c'est comme ça en tout temps, lors de notre arrivée on nous a bien spécifié que nous avions la table pour un max de 2 heures mais ça nous convenait). La déco est vraiment incroyable. J'ai adoré le lieu. Notre serveuse était vraiment sympathique & elle a su nous guider parmi le menu. Nous avons pris le tataki de boeuf, le curry Hong Kong, les ailes de poulet, les nouilles de boeuf, les calmars (5 plats pour 3 & nous en avons eu suffisamment) & tout était très bon. Les cocktails étaient intéressants. Lorsque j'y suis retournée chercher ma voiture plus tard en soirée c'était le party !
Ate here for the first time tonight & it was an excellent time! Hostess was super warm & welcoming & service was friendly & helpful. We tried the hong kong curry, veggie udon, sesame wings & poutine. Every dish was delicious. For 2 ppl with average appetites, we were full with 4 shared dishes & dessert. The chinese churros & Mango Tango cocktail were delicious too. The atmosphere was buzzing & the decor is beautiful. Lots of attention to detail. We'll definitely be back with friends :)
