Gon Bui Restaurant Bar - Brunch et Souper in Laval

I couldnt taste the food. I think they are trying to overbook their reservations.. it was our first time at this restaurant. When we checked online, many times were available to reserve but once there, some groups of 2 could sit at a table and others (like us) had to sit at the mini bar which overlooks back to the room. The hostess was not courteous and went to get the manager, because I questioned her about the fact that we had to sit at the mini bar while I was sitting at the entrance without a drink while waiting for my friend and that only 3 tables were occupied for 25 minutes. I preferred to go elsewhere.

This restaurant is badly managed and a big money grab. AVOID. Visited with a group of 6 on a friday night for dinner. We were informed at our arrival that we only had the table for 2 hours (this is not disclaimed during reservations). This is why you see so many slots available for reservations when you book online. As we waited for the group to arrive the waiter came to us 3 times to rush us to order drinks. Once our group arrived we were asked if we still wanted to order food (?) as we had 1.5hrs left to our reservation. We tried the following dishes: - Braided beef noodles : average at best and tiny portion of beef for the price - Tao burger : the fried chicken was chewy and the burger comes by itself. Very underwhelming for the price Drinks were full of ice. We were missing cutlery sets for the group and had to ask 2 different waiters and wait forever to get them. There are many other good asian restaurants in laval. Avoid this one.

Wooooooow, woooooooow, wooooooow. Last Night Was Amazing, despite having to wait to be seated for our reservation at 8:00pm, but I understood why because it was quite busy with a full house. Before being seated I was already enjoying the music provided by the live DJ. Once seated, the real fun was about to begin. A 4 course meal served with drinksssss. It was a limited menu (great never the less) because we were a large group for our work Holiday Party. Big shout out to Clark (our server) and his team. It was a great experience topped of with a Dragan Dance to celebrate the restaurant anniversary.

Excellent authentic Chinese cuisine, dishes were delicious. The flavors were very different from the Chinese restaurants I knew. The service was excellent too. The only point I liked less was the ventilation, we had a table near the window and the cold air fell on our heads. Next time I will choose a table more in the center of the restaurant.

The drinks are excellent, the dishes were very good too. Great atmosphere.

Immaculate and stunning decor. The ambiance was perfect, and the drinks were on point. However, the food portions were quite small even for a tapas-style restaurant. If youre really hungry, be prepared to order multiple dishes to feel satisfied. That said, its a great spot for drinks and light bites, especially if youre more about the atmosphere than a hearty meal.

This place is a little gem. The decoration and atmosphere make everything warm and the food is exquisite (the tataki is to die for). Sitting at the bar, we were able to see the different drinks being made, each one prettier than the next (and really very tasty). And if you like friendly, cheerful service, Ive never had better service than this place. DJ, bartender and waiters were most friendly, pleasant and gave good advice.

Try the Pork Poutine with the sauce, its very good, the price of alcohol is a little high but its OK, recommendation to buy the Calamari, its the best in Laval, a very cozy place and they have a DJ on weekends!

Excellent food.. limited choices but great quality. Nice atmosphere as well.

We planned a group dinner at Gon Bui for my husbands birthday, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Unlike many other places, they don t require a set group menu, which gave us the flexibility to order exactly what we wanted based on our preferences and budget. Every dish was outstanding. Im still dreaming about the shrimp dumplings, and my husband can t stop talking about the chicken burger. The cocktails were equally impressive, with flavors that perfectly complemented the meal. A special shout-out to Lucas, who handled our reservation with patience and accommodated multiple changes seamlessly. Highly recommend Gon Bui for any occasion!

The purple cake

Extremely delicious multi-course food. Good atmosphere and beautiful restaurant design. I highly recommend.

Atmosphère is young and well decorated. - Food is low quality and 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 and you need to contest to have remove, so check well your bill. + Drinks are well decorated and creative Conclusion: Food isnt worth the cost since is overall bad Just go for the drinks And check your bill so they dont take advantage.

Very good but TOO expensive for the quantity on our plates.

Original drinks, Wonton was right, Beef dumplings was fresh and the curry was tasty. Even if the service was divided between server I have nothing to say about it. Very affordable and various options ranging by portion. Overall, it was a nice discovery, I would recommend to try it, but for myself I would not go again, nothing made me go crazy.

Food was divine. The Hong Kong curry is delectable. However, the chicken in the burger was probably the driest Ive ever encountered. Atmosphere would be waay better without a DJ blasting obnoxiously loud club music.

[Update 2024-nov] downgraded 1 star (4 to 3). The portions got smaller and the prices higher. The wait time for food was really long even though we came at 17h30. The drinks are ok. Overall, its still ok if you want fusion cantonese food and 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 and everything : we reserved for 7pm and we were seated right away. It s still new (opened in Dec 2021), the service was excellent and the waitress that we had was courteous and 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 and its sauce were excellent as well as the salted egg carbonara. If you ve never had jellyfish, you should try their jellyfish and chicken dish (presented like a cold salad). Nonetheless, we thought that some dishes could be better : the fried calamari were soggy and lacking, the sauce in the longevity noodles were overly sweet and the Peking duck a bit on the pricey side (35$+tx) for 10 slices of duck. The cocktails, although pretty and Instagram-worthy, were very expensive (16$+tx). Instead, we chose their Hong Kong Milk tea and Lemon tea to quench our thirst and we were satisfied with our choices. Overall, it is a nice restaurant for outings and 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.

The atmosphere and service were great but the food tasted either eggy or bland. The prices are very high for such small plates. It s a shame that they changed their menu.

Great brunch experience! Good service, amazing atmosphere & the food was delicious. Recommend the panko mango sago French toast!

Dishes lacking in flavor, the price of the dishes far too expensive for the quantity of food served. The drinks are good but on average $20 a glass. Fun atmosphere, service too fast, no time to relax.

Beautiful restaurant, pleasant atmosphere. The dishes are overpriced for the quantity served and definitely lack flavor. The drinks are very expensive and even the mocktails. The service was too fast, received a dish before the cocktail. Unfortunately I was disappointed with the food, a lot of waiting because the place is nice with the DJ!

Outstanding, I finished my dish in like 5 minutes

Hope i could rate they closed the doors on us 45 min before closing time

Beautiful decor, but the flavors and service were not there. Probably my worst Won ton ever. Service in a hurry and without much courtesy. Really disappointing considering the current level of customer evaluation, I dont understand.

Tasty brunch, really worth going on the north shore for it. Easy to share plates with friends !

Very nice and bilingual staff, we ate very well and will return with pleasure!!

Pleasantly surprised, decor was inviting, cocktails and food were exceptional and service top notch...a great time had by all Food

Amazing experience, must visit and definitely eat the ube pancake. Loved the ambience

wooow! Extraordinary Jason, Lucas, Phanou patient service I recommend 1000000%

We were particularly disappointed with our experience. Maybe we had high expectations based on Google reviews, but the beef dumplings were very ordinary, not bad but unremarkable. The udon alfredo was a little too sweet for our taste and still nothing impressive. Finally, the Tao burger was not to our taste, the fried breast was so huge that it lacked a lot of taste, if it had been 1/2 time smaller it would have been better. The drinks were OK, I liked the tamarind sour, but you really shouldnt expect strong cocktails, it hardly tastes like alcohol, my partner asked to exchange his drink because it tasted like alcohol. water Did we make the right meal choices? Maybe we chose the worst dishes... I dont understand how its rated 4.7 stars honestly, its still expensive for what it is

Had a great time, Remi our waiter was amazing. Very mindful, very demure.

For an Asian restaurant, the food was very disappointing we had expectations considering the 4.7 stars but honestly the shrimp dumplings, miso soup etc all lacked flavor we were a group of 4 and we all had different dishes , and around 25% of the dishes were considered good . Normal service, but it would have been better if we could order in 2 courses instead of receiving the dishes at any time atmosphere was good, good cocktails but expensive! In short, if you want to eat well, dont go there for dinner (maybe the brunches are good, no idea)

Superb atmosphere! There was a small group on a Saturday evening and we were never rushed to vacate our seats despite the crowds, much appreciated! The food was excellent and what about the drinks, wow. The service was courteous.

Flawless for this restaurant! WOW! EVERYTHING was perfect...I really recommend it...the great, present staff and the food...the best calamari ever! The drinks are incomparable! Unprecedented quality/price ratio...What can we say about the atmosphere...a perfect DJ! 200% for Gon-Bui You are A+++

The dishes are delicious! The cocktails are excellent! The service is fast and the interior is beautiful.

Very good, we had a great evening

Beautiful place and excellent food! Big shout out to Jason, Luka and Phanou for the service

The service was perfect & The Burger is good.

The dishes are incredibly good excellent atmosphere, the servers are welcoming and efficient! Without a doubt the best restaurant in Laval!

Amazing food, great place for brunch!

It was excellent

Nice place to hang out from time to time, nice decor, the atmosphere is cool. The drinks are expensive, and the suggestions for tip amounts on the terminal are clearly exaggerated, for example: 18% min on the entire bill... come on!

Great food, waiters are good, atmosphere too. They sang happy birthday for my wife and offered a dessert for the occasion. We will definitely go back! Parking: 2 steps from the front door

The best food we ate on our trip to Montreal! Everything was amazing!

great asian-inspired brunch spot! the food was delicious and i personally loved the Ube Matcha Latte. very welcoming staff and efficient service

The ambiance and the music was nice but the food wasnt great. Also the proportions were a bit weird. Some dishes were not enough to be a starter and some not enough to be a main dish so they were off. Solely because of the food I dont recommend

I made reservations for dinner. I asked about the vegetarian options. I was told and informed that their veg options were limited. I did visit the menu online. It looked promising. I reserved anyway. Atmosphere 100%. Dj killed it. Service was good. Decor 100% . The food though not so much. Visually awesome. Taste ?????? Too many things going on in the plate. The experience was not pleasant. Plz simplify and make vegetarian food that makes sense. .

We have adored ! The service is EXTREMELY fast. On the other hand, our server called us guys all along. I didnt think it was appropriate, but not at all. I really liked their dishes. Shes super beautiful and it adds to the atmosphere. The chicken burger sauce is WOW. I would have appreciated it coming accompanied given the price though. The beef noodles were lukewarm, too bad. We would have preferred to eat them hot. In short, I would like to go back to try other dishes

Very nice experience! My daughter and I loved it. She even made it her new favorite restaurant. When I asked her why, she told me it s because they put love into their work, that is, they take the time to do things well for us! Everything was delicious. Refined tastes and aromas. We will definitely return! Too many things to try on the menu. THANKS!

The wonton soup is probably the best Ive ever eaten because $110 for soup, noodles and donuts is a very expensive price. But very good food.

Sadly, I didn t take pictures of the food, but i loved everything. The service was A1! Fast, friendly, polite. Nothing to say more of the service, just wow. The food was really good. Price are decent. I will go again and post pictures next time :)

Okay, lets tell each other the real things. As for the cuisine, I would tell you that from starters to desserts including Mocktails it is a divine experience. The dishes are fine and most artistically presented. The servers are really very attentive. We had a DJ for the evening, great atmosphere, I honestly recommend the place. Ill let you discover this place, some surprises when they are pleasant are always good to experience

Very good food quality. The burger is full of flavor but very sweet too. I think they have to review the dosing but otherwise all was very good.

Its fun and the food doesnt just look good it tastes great as well..

Each of the dishes and cocktails were exquisite!

We went to this restaurant for my daughters party, I was looking for a special place for her who loves good gastronomy and discovering new things. I did some research and found this restaurant with good reviews. However, we were very disappointed Little choice on the menu. They call themselves Resto de Tapas but only a few choices of tapas and 4 meals. Extremely small portions (3 pieces of Chinese broccoli for $14), mini wonton soup served warm and cold for $8, beef noodle with almost no beef and small bowl, $24. Poutine, cold and not very tasty fries, 4 mini pieces of dry pork... On the other hand, there are good flavors in the dishes but star anise is very present in all the dishes (even the dessert) I would have liked different flavors. In short, I understand that the price of food has increased but there are still limits. Expensive for little. Very expensive cocktail $16-18 and $13 without alcohol for a glass filled with ice and a little juice . We were still hungry when we left and yet, I have a small appetite. Positive point: The atmosphere is good and the waiter was very nice.

Absolutely catastrophe. Made reservations for 2 and got seated at the dark lonely corner just by the door. Like we were in time out. Ordered and waited. My bfs first 2 dishes came by while I waited for my first. After 30mins passes by, we asked whats going on and the server said that theres been a mistake in the kitchen and that they are making now. Another 10mins go by and I finally got my first dish. While eating my second dish, my bfs main meal came by and mine didnt for another 20mins. We basically ate alone. The timing of each course was a disaster that I took my main meal to go because I had enough and wanted out of there. The only thing that was good was the dj. He was carrying the whole resto.

Level of decoration is nice (which is the only positive point), cost food, you call the beef noodles dish which is supposed to be (noodles) not pasta which comes from a super market. The starters, you fool yourself with the serious price which ends in one bite, the main courses (barely 6) the quantity is very cheap, quality there is nothing special (a dish that I can literally make at home), and ultimately the price which is excessive for nothing. We expect to have a quality meal based on the reviews, not something that is priced at a super market, very disappointed with my experience, and I hope this comment will wake up the owner. I do not recommend those who want to try a great experience to go to this restaurant, and as much as a connoisseur of Asian food, I dont find anything so special with this restaurant.

I liked my first experience in this Chinese restaurant with the tapas concept. My favorite was the fried squid served on a bed of lettuce and drizzled with a spicy sauce. The generous portion of Hong Kong Curry chicken thighs accompanied by potatoes and served in a curry sauce was delicious. The service was fast and the server was courteous.

What a wonderful discovery for me!! It s flippin awesome! Such tasty Food, cool deco, great service and the drinks!!! ! They are versatile in their offerings to the clientele, which sets them apart from restaurants nowadays that cost a fortune, but doesn t deliver on quality or service.

Great experience. Very good food, the cocktails are really their strength and the service WOW!! My server Clark gave us A1+++ service

The food and service were good although the music was a little loud.

Great ambiance and the restaurant is beautiful. The food and drinks were very good , however The whole experience was dampered by the waitstaff. There were mistakes in orders , they couldn t remember who ordered what drinks / food. The food came out at different times ( which I normally wouldn t mind but some people only got their food an hour after the rest of the table ) the wait was long between orders and then to top it all off the bills were wrong. Despite the good food I think overall this restaurant is a pass going forward. There is amazing food to be had in this city at other restaurants with an overall much better experience.

Food was overpriced and the quality wasnt there

The restaurant was beautiful, the drinks were insanely good, and Remy was an awesome waitor.

Food was fine but doesn t warrant the prices. It was overpriced in my opinion. Service was super slow. Waited more than an hour at least for our food to arrived and it wasn t a full house that night.

So good. Eat everything. Drink everything. 10/10

Absolutely excellent food, service and decor. A must try!

Delicious cocktails, excellent food...service to be reviewed.

Good food highly recommend. We went in a Monday service was alittle slow cause they were only two to serve and do drinks and it happen to have been really busy but I highly recommend trying Such a great menu The burger and noodles are great So are the appetizers

Great place, good vibes, good food. They offer lots of specials and deals throughout the week!

Terrible service

All can say is wow ! Love the food and service! Friendly staff. Great vibes ! For sure we ll be back.

What a great experience. Dishes and drinks prepared with love. To do again, thank you.

Very nice restaurant. The food is excellent. I loved the squid, broccoli and udon with carbonara sauce. The menu has 3 sections, mini starters, tapas and larger meals. We all shared. The meals arrive quickly, the service is impeccable. We had a problem during the meal and the waitress quickly remedied the situation and offered us compensation. I recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Very nice decor and excellent food. We particularly liked the wonton soup and the Hong Kong curry. Although the service was a little slow, the staff was very friendly.

The service was impeccable This restaurant has a reputation that is worth the detour for its delicious drinks. The bar is really cool and the bartender is just wow! The place in general is really very pretty and the decor is just fun. The food was good, the bugger tao was superb and magnificent presentation. The chicken wings could have been tastier. The accompanying sauces are very good The squid really good and fresh tender Superb shrimp dumpling Really good beef tataki The bill is a little steep $$$ $5 for a liquor is exaggerated The drinks are also expensive The menu is limited in terms of choice Some items no longer exist Or not available Otherwise great evening

A good Asian Tapas restaurant. Good atmosphere with friendly service! I recommend

I never ever ever leave reviews! Because I know how hard it is to please the general public. But truly disappointed from this experiencing, the service was extremely slow with little to no attention. The food was beyond disappointing, I would not recommend at all. The wait time for drinks and food were extremely far apart, we would receive one plate and than have to wait 30-45 mins for the other plate to arrive. The only good thing about this place was the Dj and the drinks.

Tried the Lobster Lo Mein delicious!

High quality food and nice ambience

We were super excited to try this place. Honestly the service was good and the decor amazing - but we wish we could say the same about the food. It really did feel that the food was cheap and the quality was hit by the inflation. While the portion are fine, the quality or the ingredients were low in particular the meat (dumpling or noodles). Honestly we were super disappointed. I leave you judge with the pictures we re adding here can see those are the cheapest pieces of beef you can get.

Liked it, great food and experience. Only thing is at the end after I paid, I checked my receipt and realized we were charged for a meal/item we didnt order. I had already left so it was not worth going back. Im sure it was a mistake but it left a bad taste in my mouth after a great experience, make sure to always check your receipts before paying folks, lesson learned.

Food is small like appetizers and mediocre at best

Not enough choice and almost raw scallop

It s very hard to find a restaurant that leaves me thinking I can t wait to come back and eat this food again, and have these drinks again . Gon Bui has me thinking this each time I go! Absolutely perfect menu, with one dish more delicious than the last. The drinks are one of a kind, such unique twists on the classics we all love! And the staff, where to begin! Kindest, most helpful, knowledgeable and welcome group of people I have ever met! Love love love! 1000% recommend to anyone looking for a fun night out, filled with amazing food, mouth watering drinks and an awesome atmosphere! Shoutout to Lucas, Jason and Henri who treated us so well! Thank you!!! +

Excellent cuisine. Nice atmosphere and decorations, but music too loud. The big weak point is in terms of service. The dishes arrive randomly. People cant all eat at the same time, some dishes are downright cold. No re-service of drinks.

While the food tasted really good, I found the portions to be on the smaller side vs. the price. Considering its an asian tapas style, I can understand that. However some dishes, like the Hamburger, were more difficult to share. (Maybe creating sliders would have been a better option here?) The waiters were friendly and accommodated our group. The only reason I m not giving it 5 stars is because of a few details such as the fact that we had no utensils at our table and had to ask for it after our dishes were served; water was not refilled throughout the meal.

Food was quite good, but the portions are very small with a limited menu. The services was poor, could barely get our waitress to see us. The plates came out very sporadically, 6 plates in total took well over an hr and a half every 15 min you got to take 1 bite.

The cocktails are simply AMAZING, the food is exquisite! The staff gives you good advice depending on your preferences. Great vibe even on a weekday. I recommend! Food

Curry and cosmo virgin for lunch

The drinks were good. On the other hand, the service was not good, the food... frozen shrimp, a wonton soup which arrived an hour after the order was made, a tataki... dry... We canceled the rest of the order...

Music a little loud. Not for all wallets

First visit and we loved it! Simple menu but carefully prepared dishes. Very friendly service and pleasant atmosphere.

Ive been to Gun Bui twice and loved my experiences! The menu is DELICIOUS and out of the ordinary! We took the dishes to share and I tasted the following dishes: wonton soup, dumplings, beef noodles, Udon noodles with Alfredo sauce (my favorite ), curry, Chinese broccoli whose sauce is SO GOOD! All the dishes really stand out and there are several styles of Asian food fused together! There is a nice selection of interesting cocktails and wine! My only less positive comment: during one of my visits, I went there and it was much too noisy with the presence of the DJ. Otherwise everything was perfect and we received very good service from Clark. I highly recommend Gon Bui for a dining experience

This place is egg allergy safe, I believe only the actual mayo dipping sauce for one of the fried dishes and a noodle dish have eggs. The waiter asks for food allergies before they take the order anyways Dietary restrictions: Egg allergy friendly

It was my first time!!! Excellent food!! Very good service!

Good food a bit small but an overall good experience

Great place for a cocktail and tapas. As an Asian, i dont think is the best place for dimsum snacks, but good to have a cocktail. Went for dinner and asked for the noodles and curry rice. The hagao was not that impressive as a regular dimsum place. Definately will go back for more cocktails but no main meal. The place has good vibes and staff are friendly

Great service, very welcoming and professional. The food was excellent and the cocktail menu is exceptional. Thanks to Rémy for the impeccable service, we will be back without fail.

Wow wow wow wow. This place is amazing. Everything is a 10/10. The food is divine and creative. The aesthetic of the food and resto is gorgeous. Customer service is top notch. Defs coming back. Jason our server was amazing and so accommodating and fun to chat with.

Great to have this type of place in Laval! We had brunch and everything was on point. Thanks for the unique experience!

Chinese restaurant with good food and nice decorations

The food is excellent! The Chicken Curry was the biggest surprise for us. The sauce was very tasty. The dumplings are not traditional dumplings, but definitely worth a try. They were also delicious. We went on a Saturday evening, so there was also a DJ on site which added to the atmosphere. Definitely a place I would return to!

Tried their brunch and it was amazing!! They had Filipino-inspired Ube French toast that I ordered which was *chefs kiss*. The service is so good, water always topped up, greeted with a smile and they re so friendly. The place is gorgeously decorated and really appreciate the love they put into making this place such a treat to eat at. Highly recommend!

Nous avons passé une excellente soirée, les plates étaient délicieux des entrées au desserts, nous avons essayé tout leur menu et nous n étions pas déçu. Le service est impeccable j ai rarement vu un personnel aussi attentionné et à l écoute du client. Puis le DJ met une une ambiance d enfer !!! Merci c est sur qu on y retournera.

Was there for Mothers day. The music was banging. I usually like my brunch sweet and salty so I ordered 2 plates to share with my sister. My half of chicken and waffles filled me up so I had difficulty finishing my French toast. Also had their version of the Amaretto sour which was like juice, loved it. Had a sip from my sisters expresso martini and fell in love. It was my first time at Gon Bui but Ill be back.

Legit the best French toast I have ever eaten in my life. If I could give 10 stars out of 5 I would!!!

Recommend! Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options in the menu Parking: Easy free parking lot.

A scam! Im not joking. We ordered asian food and they brought us what we eat at a tavern. Stir fry squid was deep fried calmar hahahaha asian noodles with beef, the lady brought out beef stroganoff. I swear you cant make this up, its a scam asian food resturant. Home made shrimp nuggets, she brought out a polpette!

The food is delicious and the service impeccable!

The food here is lovely also the ambience it makes me feel like Im in another world

Great Place thats got great food and atmosphere. Very unique.

I really did not enjoy this place. I knew people who had been twice and they said the food was not consistent. Portions are on the small side and expensive for what you get. Our server was very nice. What pissed me off besides the lackluster food was when they brought me the machine to pay and they set it at 18% minimum tip. When you opt for another amount they state the tip in dollar amount. I should have left much less than I did. Anyway, Im not going back here thats for sure. To give you an idea 2 adults and 1 child cost me $183 with tip. I should have gone to Chinatown instead.

Second time here and it did not disappoint. Clark was one of the nicest servers I ve had in a long time. Extremely friendly and did what he could to adjust for us. As for the food, the shrimp dumplings are quite addicting! I was sad to hear about their carbonara udon being a seasonal dish, but more reason to come back here in the summer. Overall, amazing staff and great atmosphere

get served by Remy he is amazing

Overrated Service was okay, but the food wasnt good. We ordered the shrimps dumplings (ha gao), fried calamari, the shrimp croquettes, the chicken burger(Burger tao) and the Beef (Chow fun). Shrimp dumplings were good. Fried calamari wasn t good, just hard and thin. Just tasted of fried oil. Shrimp croquettes tasted like something that was frozen and fried. The chicken burger was dry, buns were dry, there was not much flavour. There was no sauce + it came with no sides which for the price you re paying you honestly should have. The Beef Chow fun was straight up nasty, we left the whole plate untouched. Slimy, beef pieces were hard and chewy, didnt taste very good. Given that we paid 150$ for 2 we expected better. Plus we kinda spent the whole night in the bathroom, nothing as bad as food poisoning but still not pleasant. Can t be redeemed.

The cocktails/aperitifs only arrived with the 4th course, and in the end we waited more than 25 minutes for the bill. Original cocktails, but way too expensive for the little alcohol... way too much ice in the glasses. The food is very uneven. Some dishes would be 5 stars, several 2 stars. Cool atmosphere (DJ) and friendly service, but thats not enough to compensate for the rest which is unforgivable at this price! Finally, the minimum tip on the machine was ridiculously high - Were being made fun of. I gave them a few chances to get used to it, but it was my last visit.

Ambiance, food and service 10/10! The food presentation was superb and it was delicious (had to stop myself from ordering seconds ) Our waiter was very attentive and gave great suggestions for our drinks. Also loved the decor of this restaurant, it s very cozy. Would recommend for a romantic dinner date :)

After sharing 5 truly delicious dishes with the family, we couldnt wait to continue tasting. But with the storm, the restaurant (as well as the entire surrounding complex) suffered a power outage. The owners offered us drinks even though the situation really wasnt their fault. What generosity and impeccable service, we will definitely return!

Delicious dishes and pleasant service, all in a very welcoming setting!

Excellent service and sushi!

I went for my birthday, group of 8 people. No one got their drinks or food at the same times. Half the food was great, the other didn t have much taste. Unfortunately 2 people did not feel well after our meal and had to go home. I have been there before and there was no issues, this was just a bad night. Food

Okay, brunch here is a 10/10 we loved everything that we had from the food to the specialty coffee drinks. Service was very attentive as well, we arrived early before any large crowds. Went back a few weeks after for a birthday with obviously high expectations and the food menu unfortunately fell flat. The dinner menu was very creative but it felt like there were just some elements missing that caused it to taste average and it s a bit pricey for it to fall short. The drinks were delicious and beautiful though! Dinner service could improve, we only saw our waitress once the whole evening. The place is beautiful, has a fun atmosphere, easy to get to, plenty of parking. I hope they keep experimenting and trying with the dinner menu!

I visited for the high valuation and I confirmed is everything delicious

The only criticism but it is important is the exorbitant cost of food and drinks. Everything is good but not extraordinary either. We suggest taking 2 to 3 plates/tapas per person and these tapas have costs ranging from $11 for one or two choices among the smallest tapas up to $23 for the highest range with the vast majority being $19. The two of us had 5 tapas and 2 glasses of wine for a total of $139.12 before tip. I often pay this amount for two but with a full bottle of wine (not just 2 glasses) and for far superior meals. Too bad because the service was very good and on this subject; There was a Caucasian waiter, thank God it wasnt ours, who had the audacity to come to work in a distasteful white tank top. It really stood out from the other servers dressed in traditional black and it is totally unacceptable for a restaurant that tries to play, at least with its prices, as a high-end restaurant.

Everything about this restaurant is nice! The food to share is delicious, the flavors are sought after, the quantities are perfect! The service is fast and efficient! The decor is magnificent, the atmosphere is pleasant! In short, everything is worthy of a 5 star in this restaurant!

We were very excited to try this place out - expectations were high and they didnt disappoint! Food was delicious, wait staff was kind and helpful, decor and atmosphere are great. Only downside is the wait and how loud it got. Id definitely recommend this place if you have time to spend (makes a great date night!). Personal favourites - Forbidden Melon (whisky sour with a twist) & Jade tofu Vegetarian options: Currently one vegetarian option, a few pescatarian options

Ate here for the first time tonight and it was an excellent time! Hostess was super warm and welcoming and service was friendly and helpful. We tried the hong kong curry, veggie udon, sesame wings and poutine. Every dish was delicious. For 2 ppl with average appetites, we were full with 4 shared dishes and dessert. The chinese churros and Mango Tango cocktail were delicious too. The atmosphere was buzzing and the decor is beautiful. Lots of attention to detail. We ll definitely be back with friends :)

The dining experience at this establishment left much to be desired. The food was notably overpriced, with portions that did not justify the cost. The Chow Fun dish, unfortunately, resembled reheated Chinese takeout, as the noodles clung together and the sauce was just beef broth. To add to the disappointment, two out of the three dishes ordered featured the same chewy beef, reminiscent of high school cafeteria quality dry and lacking flavor. Surprisingly, every element, except for the squid, proved to be flavorless, and even the squid itself was disappointingly rubbery. Overall, the meal fell short of expectations, raising concerns about the quality of the culinary offerings. If youre seeking fast-food Chinese quality in an upscale setting with an elevated price tag, this place might be a suitable starting point. The restaurants aesthetic charm contrasts with its overpriced fare and low food quality, making it an option for those who prioritize ambiance over the culinary experience.

We went for brunch. Hands down the best espresso martini ever! Food was great! Highly recommend!

Over rated and over priced

I have nothing to say about the service, it was great. On the other hand, I was disappointed with the portions. I ordered 3 dishes to share with my friend and we werent full. Also, the food is not impressive and the music is very loud. Very disappointed

Food was tasty, drinks too! Great, fun ambience but the music was way too loud. Couldn t talk to the person next to me .. Overall it was a fun experience.

Very good dishes I recommend the burger for the price quality

Right place to selebrat the Birthday. We was groupe of 10 people. No problem with parking, plenty of free space, which is important! Despite the fact that there were a lot of people, the stuff was very helpful and services was fast. We had a Table dhôte with raw oysters included. I even cant remember how many courses we had, but all dishes were amazing. This is the bring your own wine restaurant, so you can bring your favorite wine with you or Prosecco for special occasions. Highly recommended .

I came home, I had reservations. I asked for a table further from the front door, very cold place. I was just told that it wasnt possible. Without any other solution. I was told that you need to book a week in advance. It seems that reservations during the day do not give you the right to a warm table. I left. They let me go. A few minutes later, another restaurant, without reservation. Chairs were brought in, tables were moved. All the difference is there. Service is the image of a restaurant Gon Bui, would I come back? Certainly not. Too bad I was so looking forward to finding out.

We went there on Chinese New Years Eve (by chance) so it was crowded (I dont know if its like that at all times, when we arrived we were told that we had the table for a max of 2 hours but that suited us). The decor is truly incredible. I loved the place. Our waitress was really friendly and she was able to guide us through the menu. We had the beef tataki, Hong Kong curry, chicken wings, beef noodles, squid (5 dishes for 3 and we had enough) and everything was very good. The cocktails were interesting. When I went back to pick up my car later in the evening it was a party!

First time writing a review about a restaurant, but I think it s necessary I went there on February 14 to celebrate Valentines Day, it totally ruined our evening... First surprise when we arrived, we were told that they were forcing us to order the Valentines Day menu at $150 for 2 people. It is therefore impossible to order anything other than the dishes they have chosen for us. Of the 5 dishes we received, we only liked 1, the dumplings. The rest was mediocre at best. What about the classic soup we are told it s a soup and we get a kind of sticky jelly. Not the consistency of a soup at all, it looked like Jell-O mixed with slug slime, I took a bite, it made me feel heartbroken. No surprise that this horror is not on their usual menu. The rest of the dishes (beef tataki, scallops, red curry) were OK. The Lo Mein pasta dripped with artificial lobster concentrate. As for the service: non-existent. Our server comes to see us once in the evening, the rest of the time it s busboys who just bring dishes without even removing the empty plates sometimes. One of the bustboys asks us if we want another spoon, we say yes, he never comes back. Same thing for the bill and the dessert, you have to try to attract someones attention as best you can to get a minimum of service. The worst part is that they have the nerve to predetermine the tip at 18% on their payment machines. In short, for a $200 evening we were ripped off. They take advantage of Valentines Day to pass cash on the backs of couples. The dishes are way too over-priced and not very good. Also, the cocktails were all at least $18, ridiculous. For the atmosphere and decor: Bravo. For the rest: 0. If you read this comment, sincerely avoid. For $200, go to Torii Sushi next door, you will eat like kings, the food and service are incredible there.

A must visit if in Laval. The food, service, and cocktails were excellent.

First visit. I liked it.

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

We organized a birthday party for 30 people there. Very, very good collaboration on their part, with accommodations so that it suits us very well, and especially for the birthday girl. A most successful event, in particular because of them. Thanks again!

We arrived as soon as the restaurant opened and there must have been 3 tables of only 2 people. After an hour of waiting we only received an entry. Very expensive in terms of quantity/price. A glass of $18, 90% alcohol made with ice (3 sips through a straw and nothing more.): I absolutely understand that the cost of living is high for everyone, citizens as well as restaurateurs, but there is a certain limit to respect, especially since it simply makes no sense. I strongly do not recommend this restaurant. Very disappointed with our experience.

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 wasnt sure what to suggest. However what we ordered (for 2) was very good and tasty. We ordered the shrimp dumpling, 4pcs for $16 a bit pricy but the dumplings are filled with shrimp and you can actually taste the shrimp. We also ordered the squid, which was lightly panéed and grilled which added a beautiful taste. However, the squid was a bit chewy. For main dish we ordered the Lo Mein Lobster and it was really good. Overall, we had a good time and enjoyed the food, the only downfall was the music. Why is a Chinese restaurant playing loud R&B music? It contradicts the restaurants personality! That is why they lose some points on the atmosphere. But I will go back and try other dishes for sure.

It pains me to write this review because I really (really wanted) to love this place and 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 !) and 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 and only had received one appetizer, food was very average, missing finesse and 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 and service time.

Scallop served with the roe. So amazing

Amazing food, waitress is knowledgeable and very sweet! Drinks are also amazing & the music my new favourite brunch place ! will definitely come back!

Beautiful decor and 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.

Very good place for a dinner with friends. We tried the pink dragon and Virgin daiquirie as drinks, both of which were good. For dishes: beef noodles, excellent dumplings, the poutine was a little too sweet but the other 3 people liked it. The squid is more than excellent!!!

Tapas place but not all dishes are easy to share. Loud if you want to chat. Some dishes the portions are small. Noodles take a long time.

I have to say the ambience and decor at this restaurant make the experience even better. Dietary restrictions: I have celiac, so I ordered the Hong Kong curry. Not many gluten free options to choose from unfortunately, but the food is good.

The vibe of this chinese restaurant is the best, they play good music and quick service. The only thing that makes me remove a star is tge fact that theres not that kany gluten free options but as a celiac I really enjoyed their Hong Kong curry, it was delicious. Highly recommend! Their drinks are also very good.

Many different dishes to try. Nice atmosphere, beautiful decor, friendly staff Update 2023: Tataki de boeuf: my favorite dish of the evening. The sear was perfect, the beef was tender and not stinky and the sauce, despite a bit watery tasted really good. Calmar A-doré: basically your typical salt pepper chili fried calamari but with a special mayo. It was very good, but aside from the sauce not different from your typical chinese restaurant because the fried dough would fall off as well. Poulet bang bang: very crispy chicken and it stayed crispy throughout the entire meal. The mustard maple syrup was a great add on. Honeydew cocktail: Id say the best cocktail there, very sweet and easy to drink. I took 2 of them due to the thursday cocktail promotion. Otherwise, the cocktail is pricey. Pear peach cocktail: sweet ish but the drink is fairly small and also quite strong despite that. Mignon Lok Lak: they used filet mignon in cubes, it was pink inside so I expected it to be more tender, but it was mildy chewy. Not bad though. The sauce is thicker, sweeter. This dish was served with cucumbers on a bed of iceberg lettuce, salt lemon pepper sauce and 1 small bowl of rice. Not the easiest to share but doable. For 28$, I didnt find that the filet mignon elevated the dish. Especially when the rest of the ingredients were the basic sides. This dish is not worth trying. Churro chinois: they changed it a bit by making their churros now instead of buying the chinese donut, as they did when they first opened. The dough is airy inside but the outside is hard to bite, so makes every thing extra chewy. The combo of flavors were still good. Not a fan of the wilted greens. Lava cake: love the dark chocolate. The coconut added nothing to the dish because the chocolate flavor took over. The cake is smaller than my palm so between 3 people we each got 2 small bites. Wilted greens were used as decoration again... The new menu is interesting. Some dishes were very good and worth a try, others were just overpriced (mignon lok lak, calamar, lava cake). The presentation of most dishes were pretty, but the presence of wilted greens in a few dishes were not necessary and they were just chewy. Maybe they gave us the last bits from the bottom of the box. Beautiful restaurant though and great service. Old menu: Jellyfish salad: Favorite dish. Very nice flavors mixed eith sesame oil and great textures and refreshing to eat. Peking duck: Least favorite dish. Duck was practically raw, not well seasonned (so kept its stinky taste) and was chewy. Char siu ribs: apparentally cooked for 22h. Was unfortunately not tender, meat did not come off the bone easily, had to rip it off like a regular rib. Good sauce. Curry poutine: special item for poutine week. Very strong flavor of curry and coconut wth a hint of sweetness. Good dish to share but not to eat alone, because the curry is overwelming. Pandan dessert: very nice, not too sweet, good pandan flavor, pretty presentation Asian churros: well seasonned with cinnamon and sugar, freshly made so crunchy and warm

Totally in love with this wow place, delicious, attentive, clean, magnificent, by far my favorite restaurant. The warm welcome I love it xxx

Had a great time! Food was delicious and the waiters were great.

Food is good Tapas style atmosphere is so relaxing staff very polite and professional.

I ve only been here for brunch, it s refreshing to have a place in laval that doesn t have the typical breakfast. Food and service is great but the Coffee and drinks is ridiculously expensive though

An unusual Asian restaurant with its tapas concept and exotic cocktails. It is a culinary journey enhanced by its unique atmosphere. What I loved about Gon Bui is that I really felt like I was discovering new flavors. It is not yet another famous and ultimately common Asian dish that we find in all more or less good Asian restaurants. In addition to being unique, it s super good! And the atmosphere and the cocktails are also worth seeing.

So expensive and the food are normal and small. Will never come back

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, and the portions are good but the main ingredients are missing. Ordered a shrimp/cauliflower and mainly gor cauliflower. Its a good place for cocktails but the food is really average.

Absolutely fantastic dining experience. We got the sesame chicken wings, shrimp tacos and grilled salmon. Everything was cooked to perfection ( personal favorite were the shrimp tacos). I found the prices to be very reasonable. Service was great and very attentive to us. I dropped my chopsticks twice and the noticed and 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 and great cozy ambiance.

Asian fusion restaurant with upscale dinning around the fortune tree. Absolutely amazing cocktails and the food is great. The dishes are well thought out aesthetically pleasing. Flavours are great and complex. Perfect for brunch or date nights. Menu changes with the seasons. Parking: Plenty of free parking in the front and on the side

The music & the new menu is great

Simply incredible experience. It s a must-have for couples!!!

What a great restaurant! Came here with a group of women. The food was delicious, staff was sweet and friendly and the decor was beautiful. We had such a great time and cant wait to return. Thanks for being awesome!
