Came here to celebrate my birthday with my family. The decor inside the restaurant is truly stunning, my family & I took a lot of pictures throughout the night. We ordered several dishes to share & my honest review is that the food was just alright. The tartare was definitely the best dish, but the mains weren't anything special; my family didn't fully enjoy them. Something to note was that the curry potatoes weren't fully cooked through. Overall, the restaurant is gorgeous & I would come back to explore the interesting drink menu.
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.
Fantastic dinner at Gon Bui! Delicious, beautifully presented dishes with plenty of vegetarian & pescatarian options. Our waiter, Kyle, was welcoming & gave excellent recommendations. The dishes are perfect for sharing & exploring flavors. Lovely ambience & impeccable service-even with a last-minute reservation on a busy Friday night. Dessert was on the house. Truly enjoyed this dinner experience & can't wait to come back-next stop, breakfast!

Been to brunch a few times in the past few years & enjoyed it very much. The diner experience was not comparable. Expensive, way too simple dishes, such a disconnect from their brunch menu.
Really great spot for drinks & food! Some dishes were sadly mid, others were delicious. Stand outs were the mapo tofu, bang bang cauliflower, & shrimp dumplings. The salmon tartare left much to be desired.
Overall I'd recommend this place. Beautiful decor & atmosphere. Very unique menu, & a broad drink menu.
It's been a while since i wanted to try this restaurant, & it didn't disappoint. It is more of a tapas sharing type place, which is perfect for trying different dishes. We ordered 6 dishes for 3 people, & every dish was filled with flavored. The drinks were great as well. Monday's there are deals on their sangrias.
The only negative part was that we wanted to order more, but the restaurant became busy, & they seemed overwhelmed. But when definitely give it a second try.
Gon Bui has a really cool atmosphere - the décor is modern & trendy, with that signature fortune tree adding a unique touch. It's definitely a place made for Instagram. The service was friendly, though a bit slow at times. The food looked great but portions were smaller than expected for the price, & while some dishes were flavorful, others felt underwhelming. Cocktails were creative but not all of them hit the mark. Music was fun but got too loud, making conversation hard. Overall, it's a decent spot for a night out with friends, but not quite worth the hype or the higher price tag.
We visited because this place is viral on TikTok & for a good reason! We ordered:
*The coco pandan cappuccino - which honestly tasted like a regular cappuccino but it was really good quality so it was worth it
* The cosmo-litchi smash - their take on a Cosmopolitan. It was amazing!
* The Bede Sud-Est: English muffin served with soya braised pork belly, poached egg hollandaise- chinese sauce & cress - This was perfectly portioned, the yolk was runny & the pork was very flavourful
* The Pain Panko Ubé: 2 french toasts coated with coconut-ube coulis, pacan, asian pear compote & fresh fruits - This was buttery & not overly sweet. The portion was large & I believe this is one of their most popular brunch dishes.
Jules was our server. He is incredibly warm, polite & charismatic. The DJ was playing great music that made the atmosphere feel light & dynamic. The music volume was adequate & allowed us to have a good conversation without having to yell.
This experience was 10/10 for us & now we want to come back for lunch/dinner next time we're in time.
If you're considering coming here, make sure you book a table. Don't think twice, you won't regret it.
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.
