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. 👌❤?

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.

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!

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.

The ambiance at this bar is undeniably fantastic, & it's best experienced in person. While the drink options might be a tad limited, I've come to understand this might be a trend in Montreal. On a culinary note, their Wagyu is quite delightful. A recommended spot for sure!

Would give this place a 0 if possible. STAY AWAY!!!!
A member of our group made a reservation for DINNER 2 months in advance, confirmed the reservation & was told at the door at 9 pm that would not honour it due to 'an error' & we were told they could not sit us at the bar which had empty seats & did nothing. They said they had the reservation but someone made a non-explained error... The end result was being told to come back after 11 pm to buy a bottle for their nightclub if we wanted to get in at all. The reason for this was made clear to us: we were too many guys for their club... if you are booking & have more guys then girls in your group, they may decide to cancel your booking!

My boyfriend & I went to Flyjin for our 1 year aniversary. We placed a reservation & when we got there they didn't find it. So we we're seated at the bar... The only thing that went wrong of the nigth!
Food: The food is AMAZING. The plates are appetizer sizes that you share... it is not on the cheap side... even a little expensive, but well worth it!
Staff: The staff was warm, very polite, took the time to explain the menu & share his favorites even though their was a very large group (an office party) that took all the attention of the barmans & servers. The barman/server was great & the barback did an AMAZING JOB! We even offered a shot to both of them for their great job & service.
Place: Beautiful, very hip & gets transformed so easily in a bar/dance floor it's amazing.
Finally Flyjin is definatly a place to try. I would go back there for sure but maybe not for a romantic supper. It is more the type of place you go there late at night before their kitchen closes to try some of the food & then enjoy the bar/trendy music & ambiance.
For sure a GREAT place for office parties!
