Pharmacii

Music, vibe, and waiter really sold the whole experience. What a cool menu and design concept as well. The food was surprising and fun and superb. Looking forward to future visits to try the whole menu. Don’t skip the mocktails-the sour peach ring was insane and such a great compliment to all the food we tried. Highlights were the mini kfc, soy egg, and pork belly!

I have been wanting to try for years but life gets in the way lol, so happy and fulfilled that I finally got to dine here!! From what I gathered (from following their page), they change their menu from time to time (unsure of how often and when) and they print it with a cover that often features something artistic, a really nice touch. The place feels like a speakeasy, when I got in there's a curtain that opens up to this dimly lit dining area with a bar area as well (but ample lighting I assure you). I mentioned that they change menus and that these menus featured art right? You would see a collection of the past ones framed and hanging on the walls which is a really great presentation of how established and dynamic this place is. When we went there's no wait to be seated but things got a bit busy where they had to start a wait list but things flowed nicely so I don't think the wait time was that long. When we got seated we were explained how the menu worked as they were featuring this Monopoly themed drink menu where you can choose a drink or roll a dice and leave it up to fate to choose for you! But since I had a lot to do after dinner I opted for a mocktail which is pictured here (I am ashamed I can't remember the exact name - sour peach something?). Moving on to the food, we got mini KFC, steak tataki, and kimchi chahan - favorite of the night STEAK TATAKI! I cannot stop gushing about that dish to everyone I can think of that would appreciate the flavor bomb of that chutney, it was absolute heaven in my mouth and the sear on the steak was perfect!!! The kimchi chahan comes second for me, it had this cripsy brussel sprout topping which had this seasoning on it that made it extra special, my partner loved it so much that he didn't want to mix it in and just eat it as it is but of course I wanted to experience a whole bite of the dish so I just set aside some pieces for him to munch on while we mix the bowl - as you can on the picture it was already mixed, our excitement made me forget to even take a photo of the dish untouched haha! The flavors melded so well for me, it tasted like comfort. For the mini KFC, the sizes of each bite were perfect that you would get all the flavor the chef is wanting you to experience per bite! Overall, I would come back to this place to try all their other dishes. It was truly worthwhile! And I am excited to get my taste buds satisfied again!

Super fantastic experience! Never had Korean style tapas and it completely blew us away. Would highly recommend the korean chicken, bulgogi, and the kimchi rice! Super fun unique spot :)

Food is always top level, drinks everything is so delicate and prepared with so much thought and care. Service was good. The only reason I rate 4 stars is because we found the menu extremely confusing, I joked I lost neurons trying to understand it🙏😅 its not straight forward, I love the art on the menu, however for someone visiting for the first time we found it extremely confusing, so we ended up ordering whatever, however we were extremely happy with everything we ordered🙏🧡

We have been dying to make it out but due to not taking reservations we hadn't made it since we are about a 45 minute drive away. We saw they were taking New Years reservations so we jumped on it. The menu was smaller than usual but the server let us take a look at the full menu and I cam definitely say we can't wait to make the trip back out. The restaurant is a smaller space but they have made great use of it. The atmosphere is warm amd inviting. Our server was beyond fantastic, I did not get her name, she was a blonde woman, she was an absolute gem. Very friendly, fun, and knowledgeable. The cocktails were creative and well balanced with fun presentations. The food was top tier. I have no words for hom much we enjoyed our meal. Pharmacii has quickly become one of our faves. We had : Drinks were 1. Mango sticky rice 2. General Tao 3. Portuguese tart 4. Belgian waffle Food was 1. Yukeh steak tartar 2. Mushroom Tangu 3. Bone marrow noodles 4. Aburi Cannot say enough. Absolute 10/10 experience!

My wife and I went for the first time for our NYE dinner and we were satisfied well beyond our expectations. Everything from the service, atmosphere, drink selections and the amazing food will definitely have us going back again. We highly recommend this little gem.

Cannot recommend this restaurant enough! If you’re looking for an amazing culinary experience, this is it! I would recommend seating out side (weather permitting). Great service, amazing food (my favourite was the sausage- looking dish in the picture, it’s actually delicious mushroom macaroni!!), a little more expensive but 100% worth the experience!

Love Pharmacii! Our go to spot for fun and interesting drinks! The space is on the smaller size with limited seating and no reservations, but worth taking a chance on and waiting for!

Pharmacii in St. Catharines is a small, charming spot with a cool, laid-back vibe that's perfect for sharing delicious plates. We particularly enjoyed the Korean Fried Chicken, which was crispy and flavorful, and the Bulgoghi Jeon, which was a fun and tasty experience. The Shaker Fries added a playful twist, and the Crispy Pork was another standout dish, perfectly cooked with a satisfying crunch. The service is friendly and relaxed, contributing to the cozy atmosphere. Although the location is on the smaller side, it adds to the intimate and welcoming feel of the restaurant. Saluti

The food here was superb, as was the one drink we tried. We ate on the back patio, it was nice being able to eat outdoors under an evening sky. Service was a little slow, I think they're understaffed, but not obnoxiously slow. I'm surprised this place has lasted as long as it has though, unless the owners' parents are chaebols, since they don't do takeout. They also seem to have a chip on their shoulder about other things, judging from the (really nicely done) menu/magazine. If it's still around when you're looking for a place to eat I highly recommend it - if we were around a few more days we'd go back for dinner several more times just to try the dishes we didn't get to try the first time.

The food we had was quite excellent. At the beginnign servie was quite good, then declined as we were ignored by the new person coming on-shift. It's a small and interesting place and the principal down-side was that seating was not comfortable. Would we return? Yes.

This place has been on my list for a while now. They seem quite popular from their social media presence. I'm glad to have checked it out as soon as the ban on outdoor dining was lifted. The ambiance was nice and we were seated quickly on a Friday evening. It's a cute restaurant that boasts Asian fusion inspired cuisine and alcoholic beverages. I enjoyed a fruli "polar beer" and fruli sangria. Among two people, we also got two appetizers and an entrée. Trust me, we were stuffed. The shaker fries were super crunchy and yummy!! They also sell store related merchandise. I also found their restrooms to be...eye opening haha. I'd probably come back if I was in the area. Not a bad place :)

This place is so cool! The ambience is really nice and it's just a chill place to hang out with friends to grab a bite and some drinks. I'm a lightweight so it was really cool to have an option to request a drink that is customized to my taste (easy to drink, fruity, etc). I got the steak tataki which was so good and the bartender made me a peach and cranberry cocktail. I will definitely be back!

Had an amazing visit to this cool little cocktail joint in St.Catharines. The tunes were great (hip hop) the service was on point, the drinks were out of this world, and the food was delicious! All the cocktails were so tasty, we had 9 of the 11 in total. By far the favourite was the Winter Valhalla, it was white rum, pisco, vanilla infused coconut milk, sesame syrup a d cardamom. It was the best drink I've had! You can taste the care that went into making it! The food we tried was also amazing. We had the shaker fries and some special chicken, that was battered and deep fried soft bone....something. It was deep fried goodness. Can't wait to go back and try some more drinks!
