| - Flyjin is hidden behind a mysterious door and the only indication this is the correct door is the little logo that you may not have paid attention to while browsing their web page. Behind the door, down the stairs we can find beautifully decorated bar with a nice ambiance and overall attentive service.
I feel compelled to start with what truly impressed me in Flyjin: the hamachi sashimi with yuzu sauce. My dish was so beautiful that I keep browsing my pictures of it over and over again in admiration. The entire dish was a mastered art, perfectly arranged, the ikebana of the sashimi, so gorgeous that I had to eat half of the fish before I could identify the location of the wasabi, hiding shyly under the orange flower. The ingredients of the dish were very fresh, the yellow tail tuna was good. My little concern, I can get the same quality and quantity of fish, without the the decoration, in other places, for less money, and the sushi snob in me says that we eat sashimi for the fish, not the decoration.... Anyway, when I come again I wouldn't mind ordering the very same sashimi, in the end I now know where to look for the wasabi.
Besides that the Wednesday oyster deal is great and the oysters were tasty. My only problem, the reason for the three star review, are the cocktails, too much ice, they feel watery quickly if you let them sit a little big longer. The Zen Buddha was extremely refreshing, but felt deprived of alcohol. The Campfire Margarita was stronger, but again you need to drink it quickly before the ice melts. I guess I will opt for the wine list next time as I can see myself visiting again for oysters treat.
