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.

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.

Great place for partying, specially on Saturdays. It's fairly easy to enter & the bouncers don't play games. David plays on Saturdays & his mashups are crazzzy. Would recommend

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!

Context: we came for dinner & stayed for the club.

The excellent: Service is fantastic. Top notch. This seems consistent across the board with all servers & ours was excellent as well as the other staff.

The good: Food is great. It's pricey, so know that coming in. It's definitely one of those places that will leave you hungry after ~$150 per person. The cod was the best I've had & I'm not a cod fan, but this cod, wow. Beef great. Dumplings were interesting. All prepared excellently. Very small portions.

Drinks were hit & miss. Espresso martini (with tequila) was amazing. Some others were not - whisky sour was weird, spicy tequila/fruity cocktail all right. Your mileage may very.

The iffy: Decor is... odd for this type of place. Sure, it's trendy. There's a lot of plywood involved & it leaves a musty musk in the entire place, & doubly bad if you go to the washrooms. Also plywood paneling. Seems like it was set up to get rebooted or torn out. Or maybe the building has water issues? Rest of the decor is as expected at the price point.

Club: it's a club. It gets pretty packed & not really much space for dancing so keep that in mind.

Would I go back or recommend? Probably not. Your mileage may vary. From a food/drink standpoint, there's other places I would try before circling back here since there was more "all right" than "wow" & at this price point everything could be "wow". It may be the club transformation that gets this place into a "jack-of-all-trades" situation.

Would I recommend Flyjin to all of my readers? Absolutely! If you are like me & enjoy Japanese fusion cuisine, special cocktails &/or simply wine, the Old Montreal & its trendy crowd, you would have to consider Flyjin at least once in your life.
