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.
We truly enjoyed trying this restaurant for the first time. Food was very good, drinks were good & the ambiance & decor were very different & very nice asian feel.
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 & 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%)
We went here on a Friday evening & the ambiance was very nice, perfect for a girls night out. Food was good, there is a large variety of drinks & service was very friendly.
Le Staff très gentil rien à redire. Le resto est cute. C'est un endroit où tu y vas pour prendre un verre à 15-18$ manger un peu mais ta facture va vite monter si tu bois plus & si tu as trop faim. La soupe est petite, bonne somme toute mais elle était tiède & c'est moche une soupe tiède surtout en janvier. Le serveur m'a dit que j'aurais dû le dire mais y'a rien de plus poche que de renvoyer un plat pendant que l'autre mange en face de toi. Le Tataki de boeuf est coupé trop épais, trop cuit, viande trop coriace avec trop de vinaigrette. Le plat manque de délicatesse. N'en vaut pas la peine. Par contre le burger est vraiment bon mais 19$ servi avec 4 tranches de mini laitue. C'est trop cher pour ce que c'est. La portion est bonne mais tu regardes l'assiette c'est ordinaire. J'ai trouvé que les plats en général manquaient d'équilibre. L'expérience culinaire n'est pas assez extra pour que j'aille le goût d'y retourner. Mais mes fils aiment bien l'endroit.

One of the best dates i've had ! The ambiance is amazing, the service is great, the cocktails/mocktails are good & the food is better that I expected ! I soooo recommend !
Nous étions deux couples lors de notre passage en restaurant. Nous avons apprécier notre souper. Une DJ était sur place, la musique était bonne. Pour ce qui est des mets, ils étaient tous goûteux. À l'exception du tataki de boeuf, tranche épaisse, très difficile à mastiquer, très coriace. Pour les deux plats qui nous on été servis. Les plat de pâtes étaient un vrai délice.
Brunch: belle presentation mais c'est beaucoup trop sucré, que ce soit les pains doré ou le general tao. D'ailleurs je me serais attendu a un meilleur equilibre sucré salé pour une gauffre au poulet, mais c'est juste du sucré. Dommage.
Been a few times now, portions & flavors are not good enough to reflect the prices. Cool concept, the Oolong iced tea cocktail is phenomenal but there's too many better value options next door.
