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
Philippe
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. 😊
Mathias
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.

Bon Cocktail 5/5 Service Rapide au niveau des commandes Serveur amical & jovial mais pas très présent. Dumpling au crevette 3,5, belle texture mais manque de saveur. Burger Tao 4,5 généreuse portion de poulet sauce & condiment qui apportait du goût. Nouille au boeuf braisé 2,5, le boeuf braisé était presque inexistant & froid. Belle présentation. Lo Mein crevette 2,5. Nous avons commander ce plat à la base pour le homard, mais nous avons reçu celui au crevette en retard car la commande de ce plat ne c'était pas rendu en cuisine. Le bouillons était bon, les crevettes pas assaisonnées. Tous les employés que nous avons côtoyé étaient très gentil, les décorations étaient très belles aussi. Ce restaurant nous avais été conseillé par un couple d'ami mais malheureusement l'expérience culinaire n'a pas atteint nos anticipations!

[Update 2024-nov] downgraded 1 star (4 to 3). The portions got smaller & the prices higher. The wait time for food was really long even though we came at 17h30. The drinks are ok. Overall, it's still ok if you want fusion cantonese food & a great ambiance for a night out with a group = dj was great. [DINNER REVIEW] Came here for dinner with friends on a Saturday night. Reservation was made easy with OpenTable online, you get a confirmation & everything : we reserved for 7pm & we were seated right away. It's still new (opened in Dec 2021), the service was excellent & the waitress that we had was courteous & informative about the menu. Speaking of which, the menu was small, only a dozen items but I expect them to add more choice as time goes on when their business grows. The food was good : the Bang Bang chicken & its sauce were excellent as well as the salted egg carbonara. If you've never had jellyfish, you should try their jellyfish & chicken dish (presented like a cold salad). Nonetheless, we thought that some dishes could be better : the fried calamari were soggy & lacking, the sauce in the longevity noodles were overly sweet & the Peking duck a bit on the pricey side (35$+tx) for 10 slices of duck. The cocktails, although pretty & Instagram-worthy, were very expensive (16$+tx). Instead, we chose their Hong Kong Milk tea & Lemon tea to quench our thirst & we were satisfied with our choices. Overall, it is a nice restaurant for outings & casual high end fusion Cantonese food. I wouldn't mind coming back here with family, with a date or with friends to spend a fun foodie evening.
Q-
Atmosphère is young & well decorated. - Food is low quality & mediocre lobster nuggets are borderline edible, the fryed calamari is chewy but the sauce they put makes it ok, the fryed chicken is a normal fried chicken ressemble FU LAM buffet. They added an additional taxe which is dishonest & you need to contest to have remove, so check well your bill. + Drinks are well decorated & creative Conclusion: Food isn't worth the cost since is overall bad Just go for the drinks & check your bill so they don't take advantage.

Essayez la Poutine de Porc avec la sauce c est tres bon, le prix de l alcohol est un peu élevée mais ca passe, recommandation acheter les Calmars c est les meilleurs de Laval, une place tres cozy & ils ont un dj les weekend!

The restaurant is okay at best. Went for an early supper & it was evident that most staff starts past 6pm as service was none existent prior to that time. When the waiter first came, we ordered drinks & we kept looking at the food menu. 5 minutes later, waiter came back to take our food order. We ordered Ha Gao, Siu Mai, Calamari & the Lo Mein. Now the interesting part is that the 3 first dishes came before we even got our drinks which were ordered 5 minutes before we ordered the food. Both dumpings lacked flavour without the sauces that came with it. Calamari was the best from what we tried & once the lobster & toppings were eaten, the lo mein tasted like Lipton chicken noodle soup. On the plus side, the drinks that we received were delicious & the decoration is very nice. AC is a little too strong for the table along the windows. I'm glad I tried it, but won't be going back.

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.
Cassandra
Nous avons adoré ! Le service est EXTRÊMEMENT rapide. Par contre, notre serveur nous a appelé 《 guys 》tout le long. Je ne trouvais pas ça approprié, mais pas du tout. J'ai beaucoup aimé leur vaisselle. Elle est super belle & ça ajoute à l'ambiance. La sauce du burger au poulet est WOW. J'aurais apprécié qu'il vienne accompagné vu le prix par contre. Les nouilles au boeuf étaient tièdes, dommage. Nous aurions préféré les manger chaudes. Bref, j'aimerais y retourner pour essayer d'autres plats 😊
UNITY
Le service a été impeccable Ce restaurant a une réputation qui mérite le détour pour ses drinks délicieux. Le bar est vraiment cool & le barman est juste wow! L'endroit en général est vraiment très jolie & le décor est juste ludique. La nourriture c'était bien le bugger tao était superbe & magnifique présentation. Les ailes de poulet aurait pu être plus goûteuse. Les sauces d'accompagnement sont très bonnes Les calmars vraiment bien & frais tendre Dumpling aux crevettes superbe Tataki de boeuf vraiment bien La facture est un peu salée $$$ 5$ pour une liqueur c'est exagéré Les drinks sont aussi dispendieux Le menu est restreint niveau choix Certains item n'existent plus Ou non disponible Sinon superbe soirée
Sandrine
Très beau restaurant. La nourriture est excellente. J'ai adoré les calamars, les brocolis & les udons sauce carbonara. Le menu comporte 3 sections, de mini entrées, des tapas & des repas plus copieux. Nous avons tous partagés. Les repas arrivent vite, le service est impeccable. Nous avons eu un pépin pendant le repas & la serveuse a vite remédié à la situation & nous a offert une compensation. Je recommande à tous ce restaurant.

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 😋😍

The food is so good! I wasn't expecting that food quality & savory. The food is mostly tapas, & they are of different size. Each one is very good. The savory was insane. Their sauce is so good. Even there ong tong soup is better than usuall. If you go, tou most try the Ha Gao de fortune (with shrimp), it was delicious. They have a lot of mocketail option. & some vegan options (but not a lot) The restaurant is smaller thant its look like. But it's so pretty! You must go there for your birthday, they will give you a card & send it back to you next year. It's a must go!
David
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!

Gon Bui is one of the most beautifully designed restaurants I've been to. It was captivating no matter where you sat & just for that I recommend visiting this spot. The food was tasty, eye-catching & with generous portions that are shareable like the menu states. Even the sauces were unique & delicious! I would come back here solely for the battered cauliflower or the Chinese churros, which I highly recommend. I do have to give my impatient restaurant-goers a few warnings: even though they weren't busy & there was enough staff, it seemed that they didn't really know what they were doing. It took a while for the server to take our order after we were seated & the food was not delivered together. We weren't even given plates of utensils for a while after our first plates were delivered. Then to top it off, our server hadn't been to our table in a while, & it took three attempts with multiple servers to order dessert. Luckily we were not in a rush so this didn't ruin our experience, but I felt like it needed to be addressed.

🌟One of the best brunch restaurant in Laval!
📌Crevette Curry du Matin
We love this dish! The coconut curry comes in a richer flavour & creamier thicker texture. It's perfect blend with shrimps & cauliflowers.
📌Pain doré Sud-Est
The creamy hollandaise-Chinese sauce is the highlight of this dish. The breads are soaked into the rich & sweet buttery sauce. The saltiness from the pork balance out the taste so well.
📌Crêpes Boba
It's an interesting French Taiwanese fusion dish!
Black tea infused crepes with matcha whipped cream & tapioca pearls on top.
I love the fun creation & fusion!
📌Pain Panko Ubé
It's a food of ART!
The purple yam cream sauce matches so well with the breads from La Bête à Pain. The portion is huge so it would be better to share.
Fun facts:
