| - TL DR
- It's the brown wooden door.
- Wednesdays until 10:30pm, $1 oysters, order by the dozen
- Sitting at the bar means watching the expert bartenders make their art!
Flyjin is a fancy underground restaurant that turns into a lounge at 11pm. For dinner, music is quiet, the lights are dim, and few people are around. By 11, the lights stay dim, the ambient music is much, much louder (you cannot hear your neighbour anymore). And they take all the chairs away. We stood by the bar. I like their music actually! It was pretty crowded at 11 on the Wednesday night.
I LOVE the condiments for the oysters, the one with sesame is delicious!!
The cocktails are $12 each, all are very sweet except the Tonic of course. I'm not a huge fan of their cocktails and I've had four (not on the same night)
- Stairway to Buddha - sweet
- Zen to Buddha - sweet, citrus. Loaded with ice
- Campfire Margarita - just wanted it for that marshmallow, too watery for me
- Flyjin Tonic - sweet! with tonic, it's okay
I decided to try before deciding I don't like them. Next time, I'll order a glass of wine. The cocktails I find are delicious and sweet, but they are more fruity juices than cocktails. You can drink it all in one gulp. Watching the bartenders make these drinks is fun. A fire show!!
The chicken dumplings are $10 for 5, expensive for tasty dumplings. The dipping sauce is super delicious!!! The dumplings were tasty but not amazing, not worth the $10. But the $10 is really for the vibe.
I personally like the vibe. I wouldn't quite want to eat here for dinner but I do like the setting. I also had great service for both the nights I came. The staff are quick and very polite. I'd take someone here for a night out, it's relaxed but fancy enough and without any crazy clubbing dancing.
