Flyjin serves predominantly Japanese fare but also explores flavours from China, Korea, Thailand and Vietnam. The 4-star dining experience has two services, one at 7pm and a second at 9:30pm. At 11pm, there is a metamorphosis of sound, lighting, service and music that redefine Flyjin as a bar. Flyjin has somethingLe Flyjin is a chic Asian Brasserie located in the heart of Old Montreal. Sophisticated and mysterious, it has a unique concept offering on the one hand a restaurant with Asian influences of about one hundred places, and also a vibrant bar where you can find a wide selection of Japanese whiskey, sakes, wines and exclusive Japanese beers. At the stroke of 11pm, the Flyjin transforms itself completely to take on the colors of the night and to welcome a crowd of clubbers in the its underground space. There is a metamorphosis of lighting and sound while the furniture is subtly moved around to allow for a dance floor that will soon be packed with people. From Wednesday to Saturday, Flyjin has much to offer foodies as well as night owls who like being surprised at every visit and who enjoy the beautiful, the good and the new. Whether as a group, a couple or alone, go with the flow knowing fully well that here, things are not always as they seem.
Flyjin is described as a stylish spot with consistently excellent food, strong, creative drinks, and a vibe that moves from chic dinner to lively club. The sushi and Asian inspired dishes are frequently praised, with favorites such as Oba Maki, toro nigiri, avocado crispy rice, and shrimp tempura roll standing out. The service is often highlighted as attentive and friendly even when busy, though some nights note high prices and a generally crowded, clubby atmosphere that can affect the experience. The atmosphere is repeatedly called energetic and fun, with a DJ and friendly bartenders contributing to a night that feels polished yet bustling, so arriving early for dinner is advised. A few experiences mention rude door staff and pricey drinks, and some lines to get in on weekend nights can be long, but overall reviews converge on Flyjin delivering great food, great drinks, and a memorable night out.
La nourriture est excellente & le service impeccable, à toutes les fois que j'y vais! Le staff est AMAZING & ils font tout leur possible pour que la soirée se passe bien. Special shout out à Emy, un ange au bar & à toute l'équipe sous la direction de Juan! Continuez votre beau travail c'est toujours un plaisir de manger &/ou de passer la soirée au Flyjin! 5 stars !!
Refused entry without bottle service as a group of 3 guys - the girls walked straight in. Girls in hot pants running the bar without experience. Underpouring alcohol & doing shots with their friends whilst customers wait. Overrated & underperforming. I've been a couple of times now hoping the experience would be different - it never happened. Don't waste your time or money here.

Very special shoutout to Sarah. She made our experience effortless from the very beginning with her professionalism & genuine care in handling our reservation. Service like that is very rare & truly appreciated. We had some of the best food followed by an incredible DJ who kept the energy perfect all night, & bartenders who were genuinely friendly & fast service. Every part of the experience felt elevated, & it is easily one of my best nights out in Montreal. Will 1000% be back.
I visited this club to enjoy a cocktail & some music, but I was pleasantly surprised by the incredible DJ. He perfectly matched the crowd's energy, & I didn't see a single person sitting down. While I missed the strobe lights, the overall ambiance was cool & safe. The people were pleasant, even as the club got crowded later in the evening.
The bartenders & staff were awesome! I'm really glad I got to experience the cool vibe of this club as a solo traveller.
Really disappointing experience at Flyjin. The bartender implied that people'usually tip 18 percent,' which felt completely insane considering they charge about $20 per Corona or vodka cran. Im usually as generous as possible with tipping - within reason. She came back with the machine expecting us to pay an extra $10 , I did it so not to cause any issues. Our drinks then tasted like pure cranberry juice with barely (if any) alcohol. We spent around $80 for two beers & two drinks that were basically juice. ($90 total for the extra tip) I wouldn't even have minded paying the extra 10 - if I had at least a shot of vodka in my drink.
The bouncer was the only saving grace. I let him know what happened on the way out. He apologized on behalf of the bar & even acknowledged that this has been an ongoing issue. That's the only reason this isn't a 1-star review.
Felt totally ripped off. Wouldn't recommend. I wish I could get my money back for those drinks. Bartender is so entitled & rude.
Nous avons eu une place au bar & Morgan nous a servi. Le service était plus que parfait. Je vous conseille d'arriver tôt (20h) pour profiter du lieu & qu'il y ait moins de gens. C'est un endroit qui pour ma part n'est pas assez reconnu pour son menu style asiatique. Chaque choses que je commande au Flyjin est une découverte pour mes papilles gustatives. Je trouve que les sushis sont les meilleurs que vous pourrez trouver à Montréal. Sur la photo nous avons pris les sushis Oba maki qui était exceptionnelle avec des nigiris du Toro (la partie la plus savoureuse & riche du thon). Un must si vous voulez essayer les mets axés sur la culture asiatiques ou bien que vous adorer déjà ce type de cuisine. 👌❤?

Went with a few of my friends & got a few drinks at the bar which was pretty expensive but i was to be expected but then i went back to get a glass of water which is normal & they gave me have a glass while gloating at me honestly thats wasnt really nice
This place is super fun! Came on a Thursday & sat at the bar with Juan. I wish I got to try everything on the menu but what we had was delicious, including our espresso martinis. Then we finished the night with a bottle of sake dancing the night away to house music. I would love to come back & do it again.
Was a little hard to find because there was no sign on the outside but once we did find it we were not disappointed! Bartender was so nice & the drinks were amazing!!
Great place went to bunch of parties during F1 this place was my favorite great DJs fun to dance, gets a little busy but I love it. Definitely recommend it & the bartenders & servers are amazing

We enjoyed our special dinner at Flyjin. Scallop tartare with black caviar, wagyu tataki, oysters, maki, sashimi & nagiri plate prepared by Chef Kim & Chef Alex were outstanding. Juan at the bar suprised us with shots of Japanise whiskey & super dirty martini. Thank you guys for making our evening at Flyjin unforgettable! Food, location, atmosphere were great. Flyjin is highly recommended to visit.
Went to Flyjin on a Saturday evening to have some dinner & drinks. They started off strong with the sashimi & the cocktails as well. As the night went on it started to liven up & decided to order a bottle. When I asked if I could leave the bottle for another evening in the event I can't finish it, I was told yes & exchanged details with the bartender Juan. I tried making contact after that & instead got ghosted. Spent $250+ for the food & cocktails & $350+ for almost an entire bottle remaining as we left not long after & didn't get what was said. If you're getting a couple drinks & want decent food, go for it. Do not trust or expect anything beyond that except to get scammed out of a bottle if you leave it behind.
Our return to Flyjin was driven by the fantastic experience we had last year. Arriving with a group of girls for our annual trip, Jamie went above & beyond to ensure a memorable night for us. Despite a full coat check, he graciously handled our coats & even assisted in getting us drinks at the bar. The seamless entry on a busy Saturday night, coupled with consistently great vibes, made the night enjoyable. Expect fantastic dancing, an outstanding DJ, & exceptional customer service with delightful cocktails. We are already looking forward to coming back next year! Pro tip: Booking a table in advance is advisable as they tend to sell out quickly. Thank you Flyjin!
It wsd our second time st flyjin & we had an amazing time! Our bartender Shiloh was amazing & made sure we had the best time! We wil' definitelt be back!!
Arrivés tôt, nous avons pénétré sans difficulté dans la section club de l'établissement. Le cadre était tout simplement magnifique, avec un dédale de corridors originaux. L'accueil initial était chaleureux, & l'ambiance du lieu très accueillante. Seul bémol, une fois passée une certaine heure, le bar ne propose plus de cocktails. Un petit détail qui n'a pas terni l'expérience globale. Je donne quatre étoiles en raison du style musical qui, malheureusement, ne correspondait pas à mes préférences. Les sons électro étaient omniprésents, mais c'est une question de goût personnel. Mis à part cela, je recommande vivement cet endroit, surtout si vous êtes amateur de musique électro.
