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.
Beautiful decor & very friendly staff. The ube toast was really good though I have mixed feelings about the instant noodles in their East to Nest dish. My mouth had a great time but my conscience is quite upset.
It pains me to write this review because I really (really wanted) to love this place & was excited to try it. I always hope for new food experiences in Laval. I heard that they had just changed the menu when we went. However, I was quite disappointed with the overall experience. Pros : really cool music (my 90s 2000s vibe !) & ambiance as the restaurant is very pretty, our waiter was kind. Cons: very slow service (note that it was however a pretty busy night during the holidays) , we were there for about an hour & only had received one appetizer, food was very average, missing " finesse " & felt like basic street food trying to be closer to upper end, nothing special in the ingredients or execution to elevate the dishes. Unfortunately, the only thing we really liked food wise was the shrimp dumplings, which were very good. Sadly I can't really recommend unless they improve their menu & service time.
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.
On y a organisé un party d'anniversaire de 30 personnes. Très, très bonne collaboration de leur part, avec accomodations pour que ça nous convienne très bien, & surtout pour la fêtée. Un évènement des plus réussi notamment à cause d'eux. Merci encore!
What a great restaurant! Came here with a group of women. The food was delicious, staff was sweet & friendly & the decor was beautiful. We had such a great time & can't wait to return. Thanks for being awesome!
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.
Absolutely fantastic dining experience. We got the sesame chicken wings, shrimp tacos & grilled salmon. Everything was cooked to perfection ( personal favorite were the shrimp tacos). I found the prices to be very reasonable. Service was great & very attentive to us. I dropped my chopsticks twice & the noticed & brought me new ones every time. The decorations in the restaurant are also super impressive, makes the whole visit worth it. Even the bathrooms are gorgeous. Strongly recommend if you like asian flavours & great cozy ambiance.
If you are here for the food. Turn back. It is a very beautiful restaurant. Service was good. Cocktails are amazing but the food is really average. Very well presentes but the taste is really average, & the portions are good but the main ingredients are missing. Ordered a shrimp/cauliflower & mainly gor cauliflower. Its a good place for cocktails but the food is really average.
Un restaurant asiatique hors du commun avec son concept tapas & ses cocktails exotiques. C'est un voyage culinaire agrément de son ambiance singulière. Ce que j'ai adoré chez Gon Bui, c'est que j'ai vraiment du l'impression de découvrir de nouvelles saveurs. Ce n'est pas un énième fameux & finalement commun même plat asiatique que l'on retrouve dans tous les restaurants asiatiques plus ou moins bons. En plus d'être singulier c'est super bon ! & l'ambiance & les cokatails sont aussi à voir.

I've only been here for brunch, it's refreshing to have a place in laval that doesn't have the typical breakfast. Food & service is great but the Coffee & drinks is ridiculously expensive though
Finally got to try their weekend brunch menu. I was surprised that the restaurant was pretty empty. The ube french toast is scrumptious. The noodle wasn't very original though.
