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 frequently described as a moody, high energy venue with a signature red lit underground space and a strong fusion menu that includes fresh oysters, sushi, and creative cocktails. The overall experience is praised for great atmosphere, solid food quality, and attentive service, making it a popular spot for dinners that turn into lively nights out. A few reviews note practical downsides such as entry delays, expensive drinks, long lines on busy nights, and occasional staff missteps at the door or coat check, as well as some cocktails or mocktails not meeting expectations. For celebrations and group outings, Flyjin is seen as a standout choice, a place that can feel like a main character moment with music, ambiance, and a vibrant crowd.
I took my friends out for a little celebration at Flyjin & had a lovely time. Rebecca was a server & she was wonderful! She selected our meal & it was delicious. I recommend going earlier, when they open, for a meal before it gets busier. But, truly was delicious meal & great ambience.

The food is absolutely incredible. The short ribs are incredibly delicious. The music is good & it has a nice ambiance. I will recommend & be back. Clara's service was impeccable. Thank you!
I looove the atmosphere at Flyjin! The service is great & there's a wide variety of yummy food & drink options. Flyjin District is such a fun themed night. Always a good time here, highly recommend :)
Very bad experience 😕 i am not sur i recommend this place was my first & last time the service was awful, like from the entrance we had to prouve the reservation cause we were 4 guys, normally we did expect a bit of respect & the waitress the lady take the time to ask what we need not to other in our place 😀 like sorry i do pay so i do ask for what i want, really i didn't expect this for this poeple, usually i go to lavoute & the day i did said ok maybe i can discover an other place nope thanks, eh the team try to smile
The food & drinks were absolutely INCREDIBLE (highly recommend the spicy avocado crispy rice & shrimp tempura roll!) & Madeline was the most attentive & sweet server we've had in Montreal. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!
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.
This place is awesome, amazing service. I couldn't put my drink down for one second without someone being there instantly to assist with a refill. The food is non stop & everything is incredible! Off the charts EVERYTHING! Would highly recommend, it's a great time.

Oysters here are fresh, sashimi are cut well, Youssef will give you the best service!
It is a nice underground club ambience, sometimes too crowded, but the people are well selected at the entry. Highly recommanded
Super expérience au Fly Jin ! L'ambiance est vraiment incroyable, on se sent tout de suite plongé dans une atmosphère festive & chaleureuse. Malgré l'affluence, nous avons été accueillis & servis très rapidement, ce qui est un vrai plus. Je recommande vivement cet endroit pour une soirée réussie !
Excellent service, rapide & attentionné! De loin le meilleur service que j'ai eu dans un restaurant. La nourriture était délicieuse, je recommande fortement!

Went for a bachelorette party last Thursday night & we had such an amazing time we were raving about it the entire weekend. Not only was the food incredible, but the service really went above & beyond to make us feel welcome & found a nice balance of being attentive to the group without hovering. I would recommend for anyone visiting Montreal to check out Flyjin.
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
Decent fusion (mostly) Asian food & cocktails, really liked their tacos, mushroom mix, & sushi platter. After 11pm it turns into a club, with good sets of DJs. Recommend if you like a fancy dinner with friends + nice house music.
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.
