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.
Came here on a Friday night hoping for a good time, & was thoroughly underwhelmed. For all the hype around this place, I truly expected more. I can't complain about the service - it was standard for nightlife in Montreal. My issue is with the energy inside this place. No one was dancing - at all. Everyone was just standing around/sitting at their booths. This was compounded by the fact that the only music playing was utterly un-danceable house music. I truly don't get the hype, apart from maybe the exclusivity aspect because it's apparently difficult to get into this club. It's a shame because it's a very cool space & I loved the concept! But if you're someone who likes to dance & who isn't a fan of house music, I would skip this place.
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!

We went for dinner on a Saturday night. Usually, hip supperclubs do not have the best food, because most are going for the vibes. The food was AMAZING. Shilo was so helpful & friendly. The fig cocktail was amazing & unique.
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
