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.
Yes, Gon Bui Restaurant Bar provides vegan options on their menu for plant-based dining. Feel free to ask your server or check their menu for details on available vegan items.
Gon Bui Restaurant Bar is widely praised for its stunning, unique decor and inviting atmosphere, making it a favorite spot for dates, birthdays, and group gatherings. Many diners are impressed by the original and creative fusion menu, frequently highlighting the exceptional quality of dishes like the calamari, various curries, and the brunch offerings, which stand out from typical options. The cocktail selection is consistently described as inventive, delicious, and beautifully presented, serving as a major draw for the experience. While experiences with service and portion sizes can occasionally vary, the staff is often noted for being friendly, attentive, and helpful in navigating the sharing-style menu, contributing to an overall memorable dining experience that keeps guests eager to return.
This distinguished establishment surpassed all anticipation. The intimate, elegant ambiance & flawless, gracious service, delivered by a most informed staff, were truly exceptional. The comprehensive menu, offered at commendable prices, features generously proportioned dishes of extraordinary flavor, such as the perfectly prepared salmon with soy sauce glaze, accompanied by tender bok choy cooked in a rich vegetable broth. The side of gingerbread rice offered a uniquely memorable & flavorful counterpoint to the meal. This renders the establishment a premier dining destination. We look forward with eagerness to our subsequent vis
Speechless. Truly. Hong Kong curry, fried calamari, so fresh, spiced like you've never had. Fortune Ha gao a must. The fried chicken wings with plum sauce… But what you have to try without fail are their cocktails. Exceptional. Lucas & Ryan, natural & attentive service, make it an experience worth coming to Laval for.
Nous avons choisi ce restaurant parce qu'il était le premier à sortir pour options végétaliennes. À notre arrivée, le serveur ne connaissait pas ces options. À son retour, il nous annonce qu'il n'y a que deux options dont l'une sera servie sans sauce, uniquement sel & poivre. Le repas s'est avéré, sans surprise, décevant.
Les banquettes étaient dures comme si nous étions assis directement sur le bois.
Nous avons fait des demandes à plusieurs reprises (une fourchette, un verre d'eau, emmener les entrées ensemble puis les repas principaux, …) mais le serveur ne venait pas nous les porter. Nous avons dû demander à un autre serveur.
La nourriture comme les dumplings aux crevettes était délicieuse mais le service a vraiment laissé à désirer.
Wow wow wow les sauces sont incroyables!
Le services est impeccables, efficaces & chaleureux.L'ambiance & le décor A1
Simplement que parfois les portions sont un peu petite pour le prix. Belle découverte, on va reveni
Personnel très accueillants, & chaleureux & décontracté.
Les Drinks sont excellents.
Certaines choses sont bonne mais sans plus.
Les nouilles Jiang Jiang ne sont que des nouilles Udon dans une sauce hoisin épaissi au Cornstach. Franchement là c'était honteux.
Les prix sont très élevé pour ce que vous recevez.
J'ai adoré la première fois que je suis allé dans les débuts, il y avait de la passion dans l'air mais ma dernière visite me dit que'vous n'allez pas me revoir'.
Je vous souhaites tout de même bonne chance en espérant que je suis seulement mal tombé.
Last Saturday night, my friend invited me out to Gon Bui in Laval for the first time-& wow, the vibes were on point. The space is gorgeous, with moody lighting, stylish decor, & a live DJ setting the perfect tone to slide into the weekend.
We came to check out their new summer menu & kicked things off with some bold starters:
• Fried calamari ($22) - Crispy, flavorful, & tossed with garlic, onions, & bell peppers. That sesame mayo dip? A total flavor booster.
• Scallops crudo ($24) - Light, bright, & beautifully plated. The coconut-coriander sauce with green apple made each bite feel like a tropical escape.
• Fried wings ($18) - Golden & crispy with a tangy tamarind-plum sauce on the side. On their own, I found them a bit under-seasoned-but that sauce definitely helped bring it together.
Then came the Coco Espresso Martini ($18)-& let me tell you, this was a moment. Made with Rhum Café Rosemont, vodka, crème de coco, & espresso, it was flambéed tableside with a crème brûlée-style topping. Bold, smooth, & a little dramatic in the best way.
For my main, I went with the soya salmon ($26)-cooked beautifully with a crispy top layer & served in a light veggie broth. The bok choy wasn't really for me, & the white rice leaned a bit too sticky/sushi-style for my taste. But the salmon itself? So good it made up for it.
Dessert time (yes, we got two-no regrets):
• Canto churros ($11) - A single soft & sweet Chinese doughnut paired with orange-blueberry jam & ube whipped cream. A fun little bite, but I wish there were more than one!
• Chai latte panna cotta ($13) - Delicate & creative, with layers of orange-chocolate cream & apricot confit. This one didn't quite hit the spot for me, but it was an interesting combo.
Gon Bui nailed the atmosphere & brought plenty of flavor. It's a solid pick for date night, girls' night, or anytime you want to treat yourself. I'd love to come back & try their brunch-curious to see what creative twists they bring to the morning menu.
Great experience at Gon Bui. The food was delicious. Jiang Jiang was good I would recommend thickening the sauce a bit more. The Siu Mai excellent. To die for Scallops Crudo. Definitely will be coming back soon. Clarke our server is a great asset to this establishment extremely happy abd polite. I loved watching the kids next to us the slurping their mocktails. 😊
Le restaurant est tres beau ainsi que le bar. Il y a une bonne vibe
Les mocktails etais tres bon & rafraîchissant.
La carte des cocktails est bien garni avec beaucoup de choix. Tout à l'air tres bon.
Les plats , j ai trouvé qu'il manqué un peu de punch , dans un endroit comme ca je m attendais a des gouts ,parfums ou association plus funky.
Petit commentaire pas assez de viande dans la poutine, il y a 5 minuscule morceau , un peu sec.
Les 2 dessert etais tres bon , la petite sauce lait de coco gingembre avec le fondant au chocolat etais délicieuse, c'est exactement à ce que je m attendais dans les plats principaux.
Le service etais bien.
Bonne continuation
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.
