Le Flyjin est une brasserie asiatique chic fraîchement installée en plein coeur du Vieux-Montréal. Sophistiqué et mystérieux, l'endroit offre un concept unique en proposant d'une part un restaurant aux influences asiatiques d'une centaine de places ainsi qu'un bar vibrant où on peut découvrir une vaste sélection de whiskey japonais, de sakés, de vins et de bières japonaises exclusives. En effet, sur les coups de 23hrs, le Flyjin se transforme complètement pour prendre les couleurs de la nuit et accueillir une foule de noctambules fiévreux entre les murs de son espace sous terrain. L'éclairage et l'ambiance sonore se métamorphosent alors que les meubles sont subtilement décomposés pour permettre une piste de danse qui se retrouvera vite effervescente et bondée de monde. Du mercredi au samedi, le Flyjin a donc beaucoup à offrir aux «foodies» comme aux oiseaux de nuit qui ont envie de se laisser surprendre à chaque visite et qui apprécie le beau, le bon et l'inédit. On y va en groupe, en couple ou seul et on s'abandonne au courant qui nous emporte en sachant bien qu'ici, les choses ne sont pas toujours ce qu'elles semblent être...
Les avis sur Flyjin convergent vers une expérience où l'ambiance chic et la vibe de club se mêlent à une nourriture appréciée, avec des plats comme l'avocado crispy rice et l'Oba Maki, ainsi que des sushis et accompagnements savoureux; les cocktails sont souvent salués, notamment les amaretto sours et les espresso martinis, et le service est fréquemment décrit comme efficace et attentionné même en période de forte affluence. L'atmosphère est jugée stylée, energique et propice au diner suivi d'une soirée dansante, avec un DJ qui ajuste l'énergie et des barmen rapides et sympathiques. Certains retours soulignent des aspects négatifs tels que des boissons assez coûteuses, des files d'attente ou une expérience ponctuelle peu flatteuse au niveau de l'accueil, mais dans l'ensemble Flyjin est présenté comme une destination culinaire et nocturne prisée à Montréal, donnant envie d'y revenir.
Incredible food & cocktails. Perfect ambiance for a special event or night out. Portions are fairly small for the price, but the quality of the food speaks for itself. We were a group of four, & everyone was amazed at how tasty everything was!
On a eu le menu de groupe, tout était vraiment excellent niveau nourriture! Cocktails/mocktails signatures bof & odeur d'encent très désagréable & trop présente. La musique lors de la portion'club' était mal choisie pour danser.

Last month's dinner at Flyjin reminded me why it's the heartbeat of Old Montréal's nightlife. Stepping into that signature red-lit, underground space is an instant vibe shift.It's moody, high-energy, & effortlessly cool.
We started with a massive platter of fresh oysters, followed by some of the best fusion sushi I've had lately. Perfectly paired wine & a cocktail list that actually matches the level of the kitchen.
It's rare to find a spot that nails the transition from a refined dinner to an electric lounge atmosphere so seamlessly.Between the incredible presentation & the'fit-check' worthy gold walls, it's a total sensory experience. If you're looking for a night out that feels like a main character moment, this is the spot.
Flyjin was such a vibe. We did a full course from the menu & everything was sooo good.
The avocado crispy rice was my fave, you have to try it if you go. Service was amazing even though it was super busy, & my cocktail was perfect (strong in the best way… didn't even need a second one).
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.
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.
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.
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.
