Amazing place! Definitely coming back

Aakanksha Bose

Amazing place with delicious food

Brian Christie

Great drinks, food is good but a little on the expensive side and small portions.

Gavin Russell

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

Justine Lynnae

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!

Ace Primes

Not worth it.

Tiffany Coplen

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

Absolutely treasure of the city. Absolutely

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 you're 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. They're 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 don't come with any sides so you have to order something else or else you'll 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 don't 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.

For good Korean Street meat, something different. Well done ???? ✔ ???? ????

Rude pretentious staff, and loud awful music.

The food is amazing!! I love the idea that you can't make a reservation or food deliver its so nice!

Curtis Wolek

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.

Small and casual place with incredible food and good atmosphere.

Thúy Ngọc

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 can't say enough good things about this restaurant... it is a MUST VISIT if you are in the area. We will be back!

Prateek Mohite

Very cool vibes at this cozy new downtown spot. Nice people too.

Sehar Shoieb Khan

Great spot! Cool atmosphere. Friendly bartender. Quite possibly the best breakfast sandwich I've had. Try the Rico cocktail!

Jamie Smith

Love a lot this place. Cocktails are pretty expensive, but it worth it. Bartender definitely knows her job. We didn't try food, but will come back for sure next time.

Derek Veenhof

Great atmosphere and great food. The best bar in St. Cathrines.

Vivian Hui

Such amazing drinks and flavourful food, paired with such a cool atmosphere. Makes you feel like you drove to downtown Toronto!

A Sajn

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

Juana G. Stollmaier

(Translated) Superb !! (Original) Superbe !!

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.

Sean Haylock

Absolute worst experience. Incredibly rude server. Walked in and before anything was said, the server said, “the kitchen is closed.” And we said no problem, we just want to have some drinks. She paused, looked at the time and said, “uhhhhhhhh, ok fine.” They didn’t close for over an hour. She then walked away from us to the table and said, “use the sanitizer before you sit down.” She didn’t tell us about the drinks at all, explain anything, or make us feel welcome and just walked away from us and stood behind the bar. Needless to say, we walked out. Glad I didn’t give this outrageously brutal business my money. So many better and a lot more welcoming places in St. Catharines to visit. DO NOT GO HERE.

Mark K

Amazing unique food and drinks and great service

Caity How

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

Stephanie Miller

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

Andrew Smith

Incredible food / chill atmosphere / so many great tastes / friendly service / changing menu!

Maxwell Kennel

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

Antoine Atallah

Great cocktails

Anwar Gutiérrez Salazar

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!

Erin Shred

Great place with great cocktails! Loved it

Heather Wubs

The best cocktails I've ever had. The food and service are pretty great too.

ryan miller

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

Michael Bloom

Extremely creative drinks and food. I had the corpse reviver and shaker fries and loved them both! Just be prepared to spend a lot here as drinks and food aren’t cheap. Can’t wait to come back!

Jason Mikhow

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

Alyscia Rosa

The owner and their employees are rude. Their behaviour and the way they treat their customers is disrespectful and unprofessional. My family and I simply wanted to order corn dogs but we got nothing but attitude from the female owner. Would not recommend!

Andrew Epp

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 don't like. Will be coming here for a very , very long time. Thank you for becoming a staple in the city.

Irene Danchuk

Best drinks in town.

Sean Giberson

Korn dog like you've never experienced before. Quality, quantity and presentation! These guys nailed it on all counts. Even though it's easy to miss, you definitely don't pass by this little gem.

Emily Paige

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.

Cool vibe, food delicious, creative drinks

Adam Spruijt

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

Carly Davies

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!

james reimer

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

Nick Wilson

This is a very atmospheric place. There are unique cocktails and some great munchies. It is in the more expensive half, of places in St. Catharines. Gove it a try for something different.

Nic Bruxer

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

Ilia Choly

Great atmosphere, great staff and amazing food!! Staff were so friendly and helpful with the menu. Great drink specials and daily specials. So many options to choose from and share. New hot spot!

Tom Lim

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.

Omri Schoenfeld

Such a cute spot for cocktails and good times :)

Garrett MacNeill

Amazing cocktails, excellent food.

C Sasani

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

kitti wisesputi

It's quite an experience. It's different that other snack bars in downtown St Catharine.

Hannah Charnock

Great service and the korndogs taste as amazing as they look

Haley Nemcko

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.

Liliana Hernández

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

Mikaela MacDonald

Drinks as art. Wear a pink shirt.

vipin acharya

Was a pleasant surprise, really enjoyed everything

Cameron Landsey

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

Amanda

Great delicious Food and cocktail!!

Ryan Galway

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.

Joanna Barham

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!

Philip Reilly

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 who's in the area.

Devon St. Denis - Richard

Cocktails are very good.

Christine Ellis-McMahon

The cocktails and food are creative and so so good ????

Rick Douglas

Great rendezvous with good food and cocktails 5 thumbs up ????????????????????

tbomb13

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!

kyle kryski

Awesome food, drinks + love the vibe of this place (lighting, decor, music..) All in all awesome place! Super fun to try new things too!

Kyle Pagetto

Tonight was my first time trying pharmacii... i am in love! I'm 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 I've ever had (I only drink ipa, and have tried more than my fair share from across the globe). I'm 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

Great service and delicious food

Sarah Sarah

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

jeffery stephens

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.

Galina Nizinkovskaja

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 didn't write this review as places like these are few and far between and part of me just wants to keep it my little secret. I'll be kicking myself if I can't get a table one day.

Cameron Berecz

Extremely good food! Highly recommend.

MIke Dunne

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

Eric Hadfield

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.

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

Nicholas Kearney

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.

Grant Hughes

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.
