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...
Flyjin est souvent décrit comme un lieu sombre et dynamique, avec une ambiance underground et une énergie élevée, et une carte fusion intéressante incluant des huîtres fraîches, des sushis et des cocktails créatifs. L'expérience globale est saluée pour son atmosphere, la qualité des plats et un service attentif, ce qui en fait un endroit populaire pour des dîners qui se transforment en soirées animées. Quelques avis soulignent des points pratiques comme des temps d'attente à l'entrée, des boissons chères, de longues files lors des soirées fréquentées, et des maladresses occasionnelles du personnel à l'entrée ou au vestiaire, ainsi que des cocktails ou mocktails qui n'atteignent pas toujours les attentes. Pour les célébrations et les sorties en groupe, Flyjin est perçu comme un choix remarquable, évoquant une impression de moment fort avec la musique, l'ambiance et une foule dynamique.
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
This restaurant was great find, really dark inside as they were getting ready to transfer the venue into happening club. Gave the feeling of angel & underworld.
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!

La nourriture était EX-CEP-TIONNELLE !! Parmis les meilleures expériences culinaires que nous avons expérimentées.
L'ambiance est festive & conviviale, le décor est chic & mystérieux.
Le service est absolument impeccable (surtout Anouk, she rocks!).
On y retournera à 100% !
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 ~$150 per person. The cod was the best I've had & I'm not a cod fan, but this cod, wow. Beef great. Dumplings were interesting. All prepared excellently. Very small portions.
Drinks were hit & miss. Espresso martini (with tequila) was amazing. Some others were not - whisky sour was weird, spicy tequila/fruity cocktail all right. Your mileage may very.
The iffy: Decor is... odd for this type of place. Sure, it's trendy. There's a lot of plywood involved & it leaves a musty musk in the entire place, & doubly bad if you go to the washrooms. Also plywood paneling. Seems like it was set up to get rebooted or torn out. Or maybe the building has water issues? Rest of the decor is as expected at the price point.
Club: it's a club. It gets pretty packed & not really much space for dancing so keep that in mind.
Would I go back or recommend? Probably not. Your mileage may vary. From a food/drink standpoint, there's other places I would try before circling back here since there was more "all right" than "wow" & at this price point everything could be "wow". It may be the club transformation that gets this place into a "jack-of-all-trades" situation.
What an incredible vibe & dinner! Miso cod, lobster & wagyu tacos were outstanding, better than anything I've ever had at Nobu. Service was outstanding & drinks perfectly presented. Will definitely be back again soon!
Nous étions un groupe de 15 personnes & le souper était très bon. Menu de groupe, les portions étaient généreuses.
Belle ambiance ! Mais attendez vous a une facture salée, 16$ un drink...
Service impeccable �

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!
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.

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.
