Pharmacii in St. Catharines

Some of the best tapas/family style food Ive ever had.

Inventive food and cocktails. A little pricey but amazing food and drinks that were beyond tasty.

Asian fusion restaurant with a wide selection of alcohol options. Nice ambiance inside. Cocktails were great and the food was good.

Rea ly neat place, drinks are out of this world!

Wow, just wow! We don t usually leave reviews but this place deserves a 10/10. We visited the area for my wife s birthday and the Airbnb guest recommended this place. The atmosphere, the service, the food, the drinks, absolutely top notch and one of the coolest dining experiences we have had.

A small gem, everything was delicious!

Such an amazing experience. Food and drinks were great and the flavors were out of this world! We were in town from the states and liked it so much we went two days in a row.

Unfortunately wasn t seated. Restaurant closes at 11pm , we came 10:20 on a Saturday night, drove 40 min to get there. There s no phone number no messaging service no way to contact this place. When I got there they already had last call at 10:20 and couldn t seat us. I looked on TikTok Instagram and reviews to see if there had been a notice of when LAST call is so I don t have to drive to get denied. No mention of when last call/last seating is and no one to contact. I messaged on instagram but they don t accept messages. Really unfortunate and unbelievable. I under stand people need to go home etc but then if you don t have website or phone number or contact method then write it somewhere so people don t drive for no reason.

Rad little place - highly recommend, wish Toronto had a spot like this :)

Some of the best cocktails and fried chicken I ve had!

Amazing, delicious innovative and cool. 5 star, on of the best meals on the planet.

Cozy spot with great spin on fusion food

What a great hidden gem, drinks food service always 5 start. One of the best restaurants in Niagara hands down

Took my Girlfriend here a while ago and absolutely splashed. It was pretty expensive but I looked like a boss and didn t have to take her out again for a good while.

Visited with the family, and everyone really enjoyed it. Elevated Korean and Japanese fusion. Reasonably priced and the plates are quite filling. They take pride in what they serve.

Super Friendly Staff. Price per portion can be better. Food was salty to the family. Fast kitchen. You can buy kimchi to go whenever you want here. Paid meter parking out front. Paid parking lots nearby. Time-Limited Parking nearby. Free WiFi. No credit card surcharge. Parking: Paid meter parking out front. Paid parking lots nearby. Time-Limited Parking nearby.

Yum

Really cool atmosphere and vibe. The ambiance is very chill and laid back. Food was carefully thought out and presented. Was definitely surprised to find a hidden gem like this locally. Great service, and overall experience very nice. Will come back for sure. Great spot guys!

I never leave reviews but felt it was necessary for this place. The food was incredible. I travel a lot for work so I try many different places. This place was at the top, if not the very best place I ve ever had. I didn t have any cocktails but I heard from people outside the restaurant that they are incredible and I believe it. Great atmosphere too. Would highly recommend

Go here!!! Period! Food : 5/5

It was a Wednesday after work evening, a recommendation from a colleague, absolutely relaxing with good food and a very friendly waitress. Their food Manu is interesting, and the drink is delicious! Strongly recommend, especially after a long day.

It s awesome.

this place is so worth visiting, it s a whole experience. ive only ever gone for drinks, which happen to be delicious, but the food looks just as good! 10/10 recommend

If you enjoy Korean cuisine, great music, and delicious & creative cocktails like I do, you ll easily agree Pharmacii is the BEST spot in St Catharines. The Tteok, tartare, KFC, and Karbonara plus a Koolaid or two made for an amazing night. Will be back MANY times. Food

Overpriced food, overpriced beer- I think a Stiegl was $10 or more. $21 1oz cocktails. Pretentious menu reminding me not to steal or that the customer isn t always right . Had an allergic reaction from their fries- which I don t blame them for. but they almost seemed annoyed we had to leave as quickly as we did.

Very cool little spot. Their mixologist didnt disappoint. The drinks arent cheap, but neither is the experience. The creativity here will keep you coming back to see what theyve done next. The food is awesome (also not cheap), the staff is great and overall this is a place youll tell your friends about.

Neat little place! Their food and cocktails were different from the run of the mill.

Fun drinks with friends at pharmacii!

Love this place! Creative cocktails, mouthwatering food and really cool staff. My friends and I come here consistently and were never disappointed. Highly recommend!

Great service and great food

Deliciously inventive food and cocktails

Everything here was excellent. Will go again when the coffers are full. A bit pricey but good.

One of our favorite downtown stops for dinner. It doesnt matter what you order from the menu, your mouth will burst with OMGosh and Yum!. The flavors are well-balanced and spectacular. And do yourself a favor and order one (or two) of their custom cocktails. You wont be disappointed. The owners care about your experience and from personal food and hand-picked China to the excentric bathrooms. This will be an experience you will want to repeat again and again. Highly recommend Dietary restrictions: Suitable options for celiac, vegetarian and clean eating.

If you haven t been yet . GO!

First time dining here was on an event night, a cocktail class. We learned to make the Open Sesame. It was fantastic! Great attention to detail with every cocktail we ordered, as well as the entrées. Highly recommend this spot

the food and cocktails were good, you have to be ready to pay a big bill tho. service was good with friendly staff.

I dont understand the hype. Very disappointed we got 4 dishes and the food was average. Aburi tasted like it just got microwaved and the rice was plain cold. The waitress was very nice and friendly, the wait time however is HORRIBLE. I would say its because there are not many kitchen staff but just waiting for about 20-40mins for every dish throughout is really bad. Atmosphere and space is cool but honestly for the prices and food it is not worth it.

Great dinner and cocktail experience. Just know the food and drinks aren t cheap. We drop $100 pp each time we visit (so we don t go often lol)

LOVED IT! Totally going back - the bubble shots are so fun and actually tasty, other cocktails are awesome, kfc is great!

We popped in for some cocktails and really loved the creative menu and experience. Cocktails were delicious, food looked amazing but we didn t have time to eat. Will definitely be coming back for the full experience.

Just go!

My friend and I went to Pharmacii tonight and had THE BEST experience! The drinks were creative and delicious and deserved with fantastic presentation. The service was friendly, fast, informative and all of our servers were so nice! The food is sooo tasty, brilliantly presented, creative and skillfully prepared! We had the shaker fries that are an experience in themselves with a wasabi aioli that elevates like no other. The KFC (Korean Fried Chicken lol) is season d to perfection and topped with a wonderful caviar...mmmm! And just when you think the flavor explosion party happening in your mouth cant get any better... we had the Aburi (seared seafood). This tops any dish ever...with its smokey yummy-ness and just enough salty finish combined with tender salmon and tasty shrimp. Even though our bellies were full who can deny banana cheesecake?! So delicious! I highly recommend this share plate creatively delightful cocktail spot!

The food and drinks were top notch! Highly recommend the kfc chicken on the menu

I loved it here so much. I loved Figgin Awesome My brother drank nearly all of my banana bread drink, but I dont blame him - the drinks here are amazing. So creative. The food was delicious. Though expensive, it was top tier quality; you really get what you came for. I can really understand why the rating here is so high. The staff here are really friendly and skilled. They clearly know what theyre doing. Though they already did a final call at our table, they let me buy some shakers fries nearly last minute when the kitchen was about to close. I really appreciated it. We were the last people left there, and they really catered to us. Im honestly so glad I found a place like this. Though this time around, I ate safe foods like the mini KFC (very clever name btw) and fries, next time I promise to be more daring when eating here again. I know itll be worth the risk, since the food here is literally art. A well deserved five stars! Vegetarian options: A few vegetarian options. They are so enjoyable.

Unique cocktails are entertaining to see being made with fresh ingredients, and food was delicious. Its pricey, but value for the money and a lovely experience.

A great epicurean experience. There was an interactive component to most dishes which elevated a potentially normal dining event into an a memorable experience. Sharing is encouraged. We had the shaker fries, mandu, mini Korean Fried Chicken KFC and the Aburi. Four plates shared amongst two of us left us perfectly satiated. The flavours were fantastic. The khan mandu or dumplings were neither here nor there, they were good but lacked the Wow! factor. My favourites were the shaker fries and KFC.

Wonderful hidden speakeasy bar in downtown St Catherines. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Service was warm welcoming and engaging. They have a great selection of curated cocktails and delicious food to complement. Ill definitely be back!

Very eclectic assortment of drinks, or you can make your own. Definitely a must try!

Excellent vibe. Hip and playful from menu to washrooms. Great interpretation on the food and drinks. Has nice patio for a night out with friends. Would recommend.

This place is top to bottom amazing. Our bartender and server were spot on. My friend ordered a signature cocktail, which was clearly made with nothing but love and innovation. The menu is art on its own. The environment is welcoming and endearing. The food is simply delicious. Everything is served with integrity and class. Priced very reasonable for the quality and distinctive experience you receive. I will return!

Great food, awesome experience

Lots of great drink options. On the more expensive side but they all have 2 oz of alcohol. I had trouble choosing something so the waitress helped me decide based on what I normally like. Also had the Korean fried chicken which was delicious!

May seem a little expensive but definitely worth it The cocktails are great Pleasant surprise

Corndogs pictured here from their last on-site popup. Delicious and super fun! We got there just before noon, got a table right away and only had to wait about 10 minutes for the food but, by 1pm, the lineup was 20+ people deep. Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs.

Delicious food and drinks. The patio was super nice, and the server was great. Good sized portions, really liked being able to order a few things to split family style. We had two big items and were stuffed! Will be back for sure!

I love this place and will definitely be back. Started with some bubble shots and followed it with bad juju and then one I don t remember the name of. Everything was so good. The presentation is amazing and good queasily drinks. We had the shaken fries and they re even better than I had expected even after raving reviews. I want to own that wasabi aioli and have it with everything. Will definitely be back.

Pleasantly surprised for a hole in the wall!! Looks can be very deceiving !!! Great drinks, food and service!! Super delicious!! 5 STARS!! Food

If you are ever at St. Catherine s - do not miss out on Pharmacii. We stumbled upon this niche / quirky spot on one of our drives and maaannn were we pleasantly surprised. First of all the interiors are quite quirky and interesting . The menu card had a kickass personality of its own and the Korean food was to die for. The cocktails had the coolest infusions (read orio infused whiskey + Thai mojitos that were out of this world ). Overall 10/10 for the personality of the space / well thought out cocktails / lip smacking food. I sometimes dream of their kimchi Chahan. Can t wait to go back again.

Great little cocktail spot

Always an experience to remember.

Great service, really big menu with tons of options for both food and drinks and just overall a great atmosphere! Highly recommend the soba noodles!

I went for the first time and part way through my beer, I noticed a bug in it (which is fine, stuff happens). I stood up, went to the bar and quietly showed them the bug in my beer and asked if there was any way I could potentially have another. My options were: A) I can take the fly out and continue with me beer, or B) pay for that beer and buy another. I left my beer with them and then they still charged me for my beer that I returned more than half full. I don t expect much as someone with a culinary background, but it was baffling that my options were to either pay for two beers and have another, or continue with my beer, but they would scoop the bug out.

Been wanting to try this place for a long time, well worth it. Food is absolutely delicious. Hipsey Corn is an explosion of flavour

Great place! Try it!

Far overpriced in terms of food. The cocktail menu was expensive but had lots of creativity, Instagram worthy type drinks. We brought some Korean friends and they were very disappointed in street food being marked up to higher end restaurant food prices. We were told the bigger shares were entree sized, well we all left hungry and stopped for fast food on the way home. A party of 4 shouldnt leave your restaurant hungry after spending well over $200. The pork portion was insulting with how small it was with generic black bean sauce, calamari overcooked, steak barely sharable at $34 and fried chicken was decent. Hope to see you take on the feedback and correct some of the issues.

Perfect.

Pharmacii is definitely a go-to when we are in St. Catharines. The food is excellent and the cocktails are really creative and fun. Highly recommend!

Amazing place! Quite pricy but worth it! Service was great. Food and drinks are very unique and so good. Cant wait to go back and try more of the menus.

Don t let the brazen menu essays deter you. Seriously good food and creative cocktails. Playful dishes that pay homage to Korean flavours. Nice shaded patio in the back. Pictured: Thai mojito, Oreo old fashioned, tempura bao, soba tower, gochujang chicken, onsen egg rice. All great.

First visit and will definitely be back soon. Food quality and presentation were amazing. Excellent service as well.

I love this restaurant. A little on the expensive side but for quality ingredients. They have delicious ramen on the weekends. I definitely recommend trying their Korean fried chicken as well. Put a couple drops of their house hot sauce in your ramen for some heat!

Cocktails are very good.

Amazing food and drinks, but playboy wallpaper in the washroom ruined the experience.

For good Korean Street meat, something different. Well done

What a meal!! Went with the wife and enjoyed their delicious ramen soup and original corn dog. We sat outside on a cold wintery day, and with the heaters and a pipping hot food, it was still a lovely dining experience. We had an incredibly knowledgeable and helpful server who helped guide our order and made perfect recommendations. Will definitely try and find our way back when there are less COVID restrictions.

This restaurant surpassed all my expectations! It gets a full 5/5 stars on food quality/taste/presentation, innovative and sensory cocktails and above and beyond service. Each bite of every dish was incredibly flavourful and rich. Highly recommend! I went to this restaurant on a whim and has made it to my #1 favourite restaurant. I will be travelling to eat here on the regular now.

Reminds me of dining at a fancy place back in Hong Kong. We got the scallop crudo which was a fancy and artistic feast for the eyes but the real treat was the bulgogi jeon. We also had the KFC taster which was also delicious but didnt make it to the camera roll.

The best place in St. Catharines

The food was excellent, especially the Korean Fried Chicken. But the stars of the show are definitely the cocktails. Not only were they quite tasty, they used different flavors to create unique beverages. The drinks are also artfully presented, like the Paper Crane, which comes with an actual folded paper crane.

This place is my partners favourite spot; needless to say,great for date nights. While the food is good they are missing an important element of Korean cuisine which are the sides (banchan). There is no excuse not have banchan in any Korean resturant. *Seating needs attention* They serve alchohol and nice korean pops for non alchohol alternative. Kudos for that.

Solidly meh.. Drinks were ok, service was decent.. Good by Niagara standards, but one visit is probably sufficient.

Really great atmosphere, super good food. Will be returning soon.

Super cool place! The whole ambiance of this place is so well crafted, even the menus are really well designed. They always seem to have something new to try but my go to favourite is the shaker fries. I have also tried their Ramen pop up which was perfect for the rainy day I went in on, delicious and hearty. This is just yet another of the awesome local gems.

Discovered this gem by accident. I have to say, this place is amazing . The cocktails are the best in st cats . The food......omg...its honestly incredible . I cant even describe how good it is. Must try everything on the menu! The service is awesome z the owners are so friendly and fun, I will 100% be back for more. Still dreaming about their chicken !

I will be documenting a formal lengthy review on my media platforms. This is just to tell you that we have found a gem hidden away in the dark streets of downtown St. Catharines. I would keep this to myself...as Ive done with many cocktail bars..but Im trying to be LESS selfish this year. This Korean infused cocktail bar is something you need to experience. From the bubble shots to the KFC Korean Fried Chicken, mannnn its ALL good. Tell them we sent ya ;)

O-M-G. This place is to DIE FOR! such a unique dining experience with the most delicious Korean food. The kitchen is quite small so they bring out similar dishes together but its easier to share the dishes with whomever youre with than eat your own when it comes. It was a great experience. The cocktails are phenomenal yet quite pricey. Whats enticing is the seasonal menu and changes to look forward to. . Kudos to the owner, mixologist, chef, and whomever makes this place the way it is.

Drinks, service and atmosphere are everything you need in your life! Will be back to try the food as it looked amazing!

I went there with my friends for dinner. The restaurant has a street parking with many empty spot. The restaurant was smaller than I expexted but was cozy. We ordered an oyster plate and few dishes to start. And it took almost 30mins to come out. One of my friend was frustrated and about to express his frustration to the staff. I was also tired of waiting and then the foods were served. The foods were good and tasty fusion style of Korean cuision. But I found many of the dishes are pretty simliar tastes with different types of dishes - sweet and oily. The server was very kind and explains about the dishes well which we found excited about the foods. Worth of trying if you like Korean fusion style cuision.

Ordered a mini kfc and they charged us for a jumbo kfc and when we talked to the manager about it, she took the rest of our chicken back that we didn t finish. Pettyyyyyyy

One of the best spots downtown for cocktails, but not to be outdone by their food. The price is a bit higher, but with it comes great quality and its well worth it. Smaller place, but the atmosphere is very conducive for casual cocktails and theyve got one of the best playlists in town.

Pros - amazing food - good customer service (this will vary on waitress/waiter) - superb atmosphere Cons - waiting time - your wallet will cry

Very cool Asian restraunt with creative drinks! Enjoyed the kale salad with nori chips very much! Would recommend. The sauteed tofu and aburi sushi was good too. The drinks are also creative and Instagram worthy. Some what pricey place but its a vacation spot, they change their menu often and the staff is kind.

The best food experience Ive had in Niagara. 20/10. The drink menu and food menu each have unique options that are rotated out. When you order, its recommended and custom to share with the table. My boyfriend and I loved everything we selected and each bite had an explosion of flavour. If youre looking for carefully curated food and drinks, then you need to try here. We will definitely be back and we are excited to see what there is next time.

Great service. Excellent cocktails and good.

cool place with interesting drinks

My favourite gem in the Niagara region. I have taken my family, friends, bf, suggested it to coworkers. This spot has amazing drinks, id recommend the thai mojito. As well as excellent food, the pork belly is never a miss, and the ceviche is 10/10 and their seasonal menu surprises me every time. Always suggest sharing every dish! Not a lot of places in the area that have the same calibre of food and experience, as well as attention to detail, so check it out its worth it!

my favourite place downtown! Amazing food and cocktails!

Soju

One of the best places in the city to come for fancy cocktails. The presentation is always 100% Food is unique and delicious aswell

Banger of a spot

Got the mini Korean fried chicken and dumplings for the appetizer as well as the beautifully plated beef tatake and bulgogi. The KFC WAS SO GOOD it is to absolutely die for. 11/10 one of the best things I have ever put in my mouth. The beef tatake was so pretty and tasted amazing, and the bulgogi was filling and just so delicious, so underrated, amazing restaurant with great kind and quick staff as well. THERE is also some very pleasant music playing quietly that gives the whole place a great vibe. The washrooms are like a houses washroom with nice countertops, and are very clean, as well as there being a red neon sign down there which also looks very nice. The place is a little bit more expensive, but if your deciding between east or Pharmacii . (Pick Pharmacii)

Such a good spot... The first page of the menu tells it all and is on point! Very unique and phenomenal dining experience. The bar tender there is on another level !!!

What a truly unique and super tasty Korean fusion experience - all in a casual, but trendy and vibing atmosphere! I highly recommend - the flavours were perfection! So many super interesting entrees, appies, and cocktails to choose from! This is foodie must try restaurant! We will definitely be back!

One of the best places to eat in St Catharines! This place doesnt disappoint. Every dish and drink that weve had here is nothing short of a piece of art. This is also our go-to dinner out when we have friends over from out of town. The mushroom jook is last-meal worthy.

Service was slow. Probably because they are training new people. Food tastes great. Innovative dishes with strong flavors. Minus one star because its kinda expensive. Food

OMG...cant remember when Ive had such flavouable food...cant wait to try the rest of the menu

First time here and wont be the last! Matt was our bartender and he was brewing up some delicious, unique cocktails for us! Finally found one of my all time faves, delirium in Niagara region (gives me a taste of our old stomping grounds in the GTA). Had the mango bubble shot - mango tequila (not pictured) and Beware My Power - a vodka based cocktail that I mixed the buckwheat in for a smokey flavour - all up to par! For dinner, we ordered ceviche, steak tataki, and bulgoghi jeon Hats off to the chef/owner Brian for bringing some GTA vibes to the Niagara region... we need more of this around. Your food reminded me of a proper night out on King Street West or even Queen Street West in the 6ix. What you and your wife who is the other owner that we had the pleasure of meeting (Ashley) have going on here is absolute perfection. All around impeccable service and experience. Ambience is welcoming and classy. Thank you for making our date night one to remember! Looking forward to our next visit. Depending on your personal budget, the cost may be on the pricier side for you. For us, we pay for quality food, quality drinks, quality ingredients, quality service, and an overall, quality dining in experience. 20/10 hands down.

Such a great place! The drinks are so fun and creative, and the food is delicious, with lots of vegetarian options for those who are so inclined.

We had a great time! Food and drinks were delicious and very interesting. Highly recommended!

Wow, what a find! We moved to town six months ago, and I can t believe it took us this long to dine here. I had the Mushroom Jook, which was a risotto with truffle sauce, and it was perfect. My wife had a dish with fried chicken, with vermicelli, and an amazing sauce. Taking this place to the next level were the cocktails, which were very inventive and incredibly tasty, probably too tasty. The bartender/server was incredibly helpful and friendly and the atmosphere is definitely unique. Definitely one of the best restaurants we ve dined at in the region and we will be returning often.

Loved their Tappoki was spicy. Wish we could try their full menu soon!

Great service and the korndogs taste as amazing as they look

Fun food and drinks...the Korean street corn dogs are tasty!

Great service and amazing food! Love the team at Pharmacii. Food is fun and different and always on point. Cocktails are great too!

tasty

Always SPECTACULAR cocktails, super delicious food, and great tunes. Really cool and unique spot in St. Catharines. It always feels like a special treat going there, or getting their awesome street food takeout.

It is a sort of hidden place and due to the province wide lock down they are only open for take outs. They are selling Korean street foods which is nice. I tried their corn dog which was really delicious. It is a bit pricey but good for a change.

Great tasting food, friendly staff. Will be back for sure .

Rude pretentious staff, and loud awful music.

If you have the opportunity to try the soft chicken bone (nankotsu), do yourself a favour.

For the same price of 2 you can get 5 at Mannas in Mississauga. Nice little find in St. Catharines but not worth the price. Still very yummy!

Amazing unique food and drinks and great service

Pharmacii is an asian-inspired restaurant perfect for getting pics for the gram. Their creative drinks, fun presentations, and constant change in menu help them stand out from the crowd. Their portions are a bit small for what you pay for, but really if youre going here you probably are doing it for photos anyway so it is worth it. Flavour-wise, their Shaken Fries are super good. They give you some lightly crisped fries in a bag with the spice and wasabi aioli on the side. You then mix the spice into the bag of fries and shake it up. Theyre really good and the sauce is a perfect mix with it. I also tried the mini and jumbo KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) which were great - just small portions. The meals dont come with any sides so you have to order something else or else youll be pretty hungry after. The drinks were really great and creative. They even have a machine to make a smoke bubble on top of your drink! Overall, I would say that this place is worth trying but I did give it three stars because the prices were really unexpected, they dont offer takeout, have no menu online (but I took photos), and because they were really pushy with us to finish the food on our plates when we said we had eaten enough. It just made us feel really uncomfortable.

Korn dog like youve never experienced before. Quality, quantity and presentation! These guys nailed it on all counts. Even though its easy to miss, you definitely dont pass by this little gem.

Just wow, popped in for a beer and snacks, definitely going back

Fantastic food and amazing service. Our server was patient and explained the dishes to us. 100% going back

Drinks as art. Wear a pink shirt.

Extremely good food! Highly recommend.

Drinks are a little pricy but worth the experience. Jumbo KFC 11/10 worth it.

The best cocktails Ive ever had. The food and service are pretty great too.

The work and detail shines through in thier amazing cocktails!! Im yet to have a full meal there but will be back soon for food.

Great service and delicious food

Not worth it.

Beautiful and inventive cocktails and food - the thing that impresses me the most is the unwavering commitment to excellence. No modification allowed! This should be everywhere! The chef knows that they have brilliant food - and I will confirm this, although there are not many options for those with non-traditional diets - one of the best and finest craft experiences in the city. Really enjoy the view of the heritage site next door too!!! Reminiscent of the Springfield Tire Fire, though it does not detract from the wonderful experience I had here. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience! Food was unique and delicious, a great opportunity to share dishes. Drinks were so creative, and I highly recommend the bubble shots! Definitely check this place out!

Great concept, excelent food and drinks. A must in St. Catharines!

Whoever is supposed to greet us at the front didn t and left us hanging for a while. Staff passed by but didn t acknowledge that we were standing there waiting. Finally, we were seated by our waitress (maybe 10 minutes or so) Our waitress was very kind and the KFC was good However, overpriced for the portions and we waited OVER AN HOUR for our food to come out. Picture is of the JUMBO KFC.

The food is amazing!! I love the idea that you cant make a reservation or food deliver its so nice!

Amazing food, drinks and atmosphere. Wil be coming back for sure!

Amazing cocktails, excellent food.

Great food and amazing cocktails. Will definitely be back. Service was great too.

Love a lot this place. Cocktails are pretty expensive, but it worth it. Bartender definitely knows her job. We didnt try food, but will come back for sure next time.

Hands down one of my favourite restaurants. The food is fantastic and the drinks are always top notch. Honestly the drinks deserve their own modelling career! Not only so so tasty but always have some kind of special look about them. The owners are the nicest people that you just want to see succeed. Almost didnt write this review as places like these are few and far between and part of me just wants to keep it my little secret. Ill be kicking myself if I cant get a table one day.

Fantastic experience! The food was mouthwateringly delicious. Standout for me was the Steak Tataki with the truffle and dry egg yolk. We also had the Korean fried chicken and the jook, which were delicious. There were many amazing cocktails.

Small and casual place with incredible food and good atmosphere.

the food atmosphere staff and the cocktails are all 10/10. favourite restaurant in town

Tonight was my first time trying pharmacii... i am in love! Im not sure if I was eating the shaker fries properly, but, the sauce was incredible, and their green tea IPA was, in my opinion, the best ipa Ive ever had (I only drink ipa, and have tried more than my fair share from across the globe). Im looking forward to trying their other dishes... perhaps their other beer as well, but, if I could drink one beer for the rest of my life, the green tea IPA from Godspeed Brewery, made with struggle and love, in Toronto will likely be the only brew I seek out for the remainder of my existence

I get takeout from Pharmacii every week, it s just that good. The food is made from high quality ingredients and you can tell that a lot of care and passion goes into each dish. Our favourite dish is the Goghi Ssam, which is a pork and kimchi lettuce wrap meal set that is just amazing. Also try the Shaker Fries on the side, and make sure to shake them up with the seasoning in the brown bag provided! I can t recommend this place highly enough and am sad I never got a chance to visit in person before lockdown.

Blown away! We have eaten here several times now, and each meal leaves us happier than the last. When we are trying to decide on a place to eat, we always end up coming back to Pharmacii. This food is on par with any meal from big foodie destinations such as NYC and Chicago. This puts Seoul at the top of the travel list because we want to eat Korean food all the time now!

Its a bit expensive but the food and drinks are well worth the price, great for a date

Its quite an experience. Its different that other snack bars in downtown St Catharine.

Extraordinary. Great cocktails (probably some of the best in the city). Awesome unique takes on classic Korean foods. Cool vibe. Excellent service. Just go, unless you hate life.

Amazing Bar, with a really neat atmosphere. Great selection of Korean dishes. Its a must try

Was a pleasant surprise, really enjoyed everything

We have been meaning to try this place out for a while now and finally did tonight. Wow! What an amazing spot. Vibe. Food. Drinks. Service. All A++++++++. Worth every penny! Every drink and every dish has so much thought and creativity put in it. We were so impressed with the place and will be back soon. Keep up the great work guys!! We loved it.

One of the best places to eat in St. Catharines! The atmosphere of the restaurant was very welcoming, the service was awesome, and the food... WOW! I have never eaten anything that delicious. I m currently have post-food sadness because the food has been finished and we are tourists from out of town. I would 100% recommend!

Amazing place with delicious food

Delicious food and cocktails! Trendy and upbeat vibe with great music. Cool decor and bathrooms! Will definitely be back!

Best drinks in town.

Stunning !!

Amazing place! Definitely coming back

Went here for dinner and drinks while in Niagara region for the weekend. The service was wonderful, all the staff was super friendly. The drinks are boozy and creative, with great care put into them. We ordered a Pork Jeon which was fantastic, as were the shaker fries. Will recommend this place to anyone whos in the area.

Have been in twice. First time, thought maybe it was just a fluke night, maybe the employee was having a bad day. Came in again about a week later. Unfortunately, both times, the same bartender/server was quite short with us, and constantly gave off this pretentious air of I m better than you because I read a mixology book . Sad. I didn t enjoy the food or the drinks, likely because of the customer service...or rather lack thereof. The only thing this place got right was the lighting & environment. Unfortunately that s not enough for me to want to come back.

Ive been here a few times. I love the snacks, especially the shaker fries. However, I think the drink menu was seasonal. Its just a preference, but I enjoy the old cocktails more than new ones. Service was good, I definetly will comeback for the shaker fries.

really great drinks

We just celebrated our 12 year anniversary here, and we had the most wonderful time. Our server was so friendly and kind. The drinks were INCREDIBLE, and worth the visit just for these. The food was delicious. I really cant say enough good things about this restaurant... it is a MUST VISIT if you are in the area. We will be back!

Ashley makes a sick cocktail, Korean snack food is top notch. 10/10

This is my favorite restaurant. I go every other week with a friend of mine, and it has become our place. The manager/bartender always makes us feel welcome and makes our day. The drinks and food are amazing, have not found a single thing I dont like. Will be coming here for a very , very long time. Thank you for becoming a staple in the city.

Such a cute spot for cocktails and good times :)

The food was sooo good! I cant wait to go back and try something different next time.

Had a wonderful evening at this gem. Food was fresh and tasty. Staff was terrific and was careful to make sure it was a safe experience for us. Menu and drink items were original and at a reasonable cost. Please support this lovely local restaurant.
