We were in need of dinner before getting locked inside an escape room. So we found a spot that was nearby that looked interesting. Gon Bui is definitely an Asian fusion restaurant. Taking some traditional dishes but mixing it up with one or two other types of cuisines. The standouts were: + Cauliflower Bang Bang - crisp and flavorful + Won ton soup - a surprise as the soup was more pho-like but the wonton was more fish ball in texture. I liked the flavor of the soup. + Hong Kong Curry - spicy but fun Service was pretty good. Though I wish if you ordered a tea (since you get an individual tea bag), you would get more hot water as you can potentiall resteep the green tea. The place was a mood and probably a good spot to go for a date or just the night out. It was a bit dark in there but I get it. It was a stylistic choice. I think it's a fun spot with some interesting takes on some classic dishes. Definitely a place to try out. read more

As soon as you walk into the restaurant, the style and the vibe is really interesting. In the middle of the restaurant you have good luck cards forming a shape of a tree (at least that's what I think they are, correct me if I'm wrong), which is quite beautiful. There are, I am assuming, fake plants at the top of the ceiling with lanterns hanging down. Which is really nice and it really gives the room a calming atmosphere. The food was pretty good, my boyfriend's family and I had the restaurants fried chicken wings, which was super tasty not overcooked or undercooked. We also had some calamari, which was really good as well. And then when our main dish came out which I had the chow fun, it was super tasty and flavorful. Although the service was a little bit slow, in the fact that there were only two waiters as I saw. The rest of the service was pretty decent. Everyone was super nice. would recommend this restaurant if anyone is in the area of Laval. read more

I probably feel more comfortable giving 3.5. They define themselves as a tapas place. Not all there dishes are shareable. The flavours were interesting. They were nice. Friendly staff. The noodle dishes were slow to be served. Nothing really stood out and nothing was bad. My only disappointment would be a limited beer section. read more

I try to tell a story with every review I write. I have no story to tell here. Young, I was taught "don't say anything if you haven't anything nice to say". For the sake of those hopeful souls who may look upon this place with eager interest however, I leave you with these words of caution, made, with the best of my effort, succinct and untainted with the concentrated vitriol that percolates within me. Where do I start? Well, the place looks nice. That's about all it has going for it though. The menus were brief, usually a good sign, but when at length the food arrived, it came lukewarm. The dumplings gave the impression of being store-bought, the sauce generic sriracha, the udon carbonara was overcooked, the other noodles dry, the fried rice mushy. Just imagine the most boring Chinese food you've ever had, but you can't actually remember them since they're so forgettable. The food embodies absolute non-overwhelmingness: it was "whelming". As a wise Chinese sage once said: "I've had better at Thai Express." This restaurant offers nothing but the absolute most "mid" experience of my life. Maybe it's better known for its drinks. Hearsay said otherwise though. Where do I go from here? The place was packed and I can't imagine why. I can't imagine this being anyone's favorite restaurant. I can't imagine that, on the topic of a dinner among coworkers, anyone would possibly suggest Gon Bui and that this suggestion be met with excitement. Frankly, I'm a bit sad. It would be one thing if the food was simply plain --I know plain, I don't mind plain, I wouldn't be writing this if plain were the only issue. But this place reeks of mediocrity, its claw forcibly turns my head to stare at routine and suffocating 9-to-5s, at dread and at that muddled midlife stir that so often becomes crisis. It reminds me that I'm aging and that I'm going to die and that I've only long unpleasant years ahead. It is the place where passion goes to die. I have to stop now. I'm tired. I'm drained. I need some warmth. Proceed at your own risk. "Gon Bui? More like booty gone ahaha" -Wise Panamanian woman read more

Nouvellement arrivé à Laval, ce restaurant semble déjà être connu car il était plein lors de notre visite. Le décor intérieur est sympa et créatif, quoi qu'il manque un petit quelque chose sur les fenêtres probablement. Le panneau extérieur avec le nom est pas encore installé, on voit que c'est un nouveau lieu finalement. La nourriture est de tendance fusion chinoise et absolument tout ce que nous avons commandé était délicieux. Des cocktails originaux, des mets asiatiques créatifs. Mon coup de cœur personnel était sur les dumplings aux crevettes. Vraiment tentant d'en commander une 2e assiettes! Nous étions assises au bar, les chaises hautes étaient confortables. Le service tellement sympa et toutes les personnes du staff vraiment accueillantes. Clairement j'y retournerai. read more

It gets so busy and not for no reason! The food is amazing for parties and the drinks are like no other. They really took it a notch up to experiment in plating and tastes. The menu changes often and I hope it continues to rotate throughout the year for some seasonal items and some evergreen items. I really like how I can pay my bill at the table without the waiter. Helps with the wait time. I think the only thing I would try to change is the amount of dips there is. Most our dishes came with two bowls/plates. One for dipping or pouring into another dish. If the waiter could do the pouring that would bring in some cool entertainment value that isn't solely focused on the customer doing a thing other than eating. It isn't bad (very yummy) but just a pattern we had noticed coming there the second time. PS. I miss "Le jardin de grand-maman". The oyster mushroom with the dip was *chef's kiss* read more

Awesome atmosphere, very,very friendly staff, great bar, I can go on and on, Im a very picky guy for my food, this place is just great !!!!

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. read more

Love love loved this place Tapas style restaurant , perfect for sharing. Very cute decor and pretty bar area Friendly and fast service It's nice they ask you your name and you pay the bill threw a QR code which avoids them printing a paper bill. We got the bang bang chicken, the shrimp dumplings and also the carbonara noodles. We couldn't decide on which one of those were are favourite because they were all so delicious. Perfect portion to share and also pricing very reasonable and not expensive. Food is served in this cute Chinese plates which I find so nice. I think they thought about every detail when opening this restaurant Will definitely come back to try other stuff from the menu. They also had some signature drinks, all there drinks were doubles and only around 15$. We got the Pinky Swear which was a very refreshing drink. Definitely a must if you go there. Seems like this place is always full house, the only down side is that the tables are too close to each other and you can hear the other person's conversation. Music was also pretty loud. Definitely a must try for small and big groups and if you love Chinese tapas. read more

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. read more

I love this place! The decor and atmosphere take you to a fun restaurant where you can relax and enjoy fun cocktails and good food. I would recommend sharing all the plates so that you can taste even more (and they work really well as sort of Chinese tapas). My favorite dish was the calamari; not chewy and a little kick of spice. The shrimp dumplings are juicy and wrapped well, a close second. If you'd like a more quiet time, arrive early as the party really gets going after about 7pm. read more

When you hear good things about a restaurant and think maybe it's all hype or maybe if enough people say it's good, it must be good, right? Unfortunately our experience was the former. The aesthetically pleasing @gonbuiresto is sadly just that. All looks and very little quality. Very small portions for the price, very average, unsatisfactory, deceptive Chinese fusion at best which we would like to talk more about but the quantity was just too little... to the point where we actually went next door to @escondite_mtl for a quesadilla afterwards. Furthermore we had an incredibly long wait despite a semi-empty house. (I received my appetizer after the other person had their appetizer, full meal and enough time to completely finish it. It also took 45 minutes to get the bill once I was done) all this would lead us to believe the hype created by paid, seemingly click bait ads and guerilla marketing is regrettably not justified. read more

You CANNOT miss this place. There is nothing like this in Montreal. They've taken modern Asian food, vibes, decor and turned it into an experience like nothing else. You can't find cocktails and dishes like this anywhere else; this place is truly unique. We absolutely loved it and have already planned our trip back! read more

Great food, good service. Enjoyed the cocktails quite a lot, very sweet. I would say the bathrooms were dangerous/poor accessibility in terms of lighting. The brightest thing in that bathroom was my pants. Would be an absolute nightmare for anyone tripping. The restroom door signs were almost illegible due to lighting and I didn't bring my phone and had to feel the signs. read more

One of my fav spots to dine at in Laval! recently went to try their brunch, and it was delicious! Highly recommend the ube french toast! Also huge fan of their cocktails, perfect spot for a girls night out! read more

Food was delicious and the service from Henry was amazing! The food is tapas-style (perfect to share with friends) and came out one by one, which set a good pace to the meal. The interior decor is unique, with a big red envelop/money tree in the center, perfect for a photo op! Try the udon carbonara, its my fav! Highly recommend this place, worth the trip to Laval if you're tired of the same restaurants in Montreal read more

Sélection originale de plats asiatiques à partager dans un décor charmant. Par contre, j'ai trouvé présomptueux que le choix de pourboire proposé par la machine commence à 18 %... Je n'avais pas l'intention de donner moins, mais c'était malaisant d'avoir l'impression qu'on me l'imposait. read more
