Gon Bui Restaurant Bar

Not your typical Chinese restaurant. From the decor to the serveware, everything is well thought, beautiful! The service was okay, could be better. We asked the waiter what he suggests we order, he said they have a new menu so they are testing it out. So he wasn't sure what to suggest. However what we ordered (for 2) was very good & tasty. We ordered the shrimp dumpling, 4pcs for $16 a bit pricy but the dumplings are filled with shrimp & you can actually taste the shrimp. We also ordered the squid, which was lightly panéed & grilled which added a beautiful taste. However, the squid was a bit chewy. For main dish we ordered the Lo Mein Lobster & it was really good. Overall, we had a good time & enjoyed the food, the only downfall was the music. Why is a Chinese restaurant playing loud R&B music? It contradicts the restaurant's personality! That is why they lose some points on the atmosphere. But I will go back & try other dishes for sure.

Going to Gon Bui is always a pleasure. The dishes are well presented & so delicious. I'm so glad we have a great asian restaurant in Laval!

Asian fusion restaurant with upscale dinning around the fortune tree. Absolutely amazing cocktails & the food is great. The dishes are well thought out aesthetically pleasing. Flavours are great & complex. Perfect for brunch or date nights. Menu changes with the seasons.

The restaurant combines traditional Chinese cuisine & western bistro style. The decoration & the bar with music provides a popular ambience. If you are looking for a freestyle place & meet with colleagues & friends, that’s the one. However, you can’t find any evocative food here. Few choices, most of the dishes are spicy or cold served, which is not friendly for children (check what I’ve said above). Dishes portion is tiny (pictures shown are for 2 adults & 1 kid). Pickled food is easy to tell & you won’t feel confortable with it. Anyway, I think it’s only on the cusp of acceptability, I’m not really recommending.

Everything was perfect! We took many dishes to share for our group of 6 & we loved every single one. They came quickly. The calamari were especially interesting, quite different from what we’re used to. Very nice attention to detail in the decor of the place & in the presentation of each plate. & the waitress was bubbly & attentive. She brought bottles of water a few times in the evening without us asking. Great service!

Ordered several dishes to try & everything was good.

Cocktails were also delicious & unique but felt like it was lacking some alcohol.

This place is super aesthetic! The red envelope tree is super pretty & the food is really tasty. The only thing I would say is that some dishes have small portions & the prices can then seem pretty high.

I heard about this restaurant a long time ago from social media. Finally got the chance to go.
The restaurant is very pretty with lots of ambiance. The Chinese good fortune red tree is spectacular. The design of the restaurant is in between modern & ancient Asian designs. I was very amazed by the decoration.
The cocktails were all on point. I would definitely to come back to try other cocktails on the menu. They were all well made with a little touch of the Asian flavor. I really enjoyed there cocktails.

The food on the other hand was okay. Nothing really amazing but they were all very well presented & good. But I would say you could definitely get these dishes in Chinatown or other Chinese restaurants in cheaper price (& more tastier). There wasn't anything that I would say I would come back for the food.

I would highly recommend for people who love cocktails.
