Loved this place. Super cool vibe inside with great music. I bet it would be a blast in the summer. Tons of creative cocktails and a whole slew of premium soju and sake - I didn’t know enough about the Asian drinks to know whether it was worth the price, but I got the cheapest sake on the menu and was happy. The food was unreal. They are shareables and come out staggered, but everything was great. I recommend two of the small plates and only one big plate for two people. We had the Korean BBQ chicken, dumplings, kimchi rice and bulgogi. Everything was fantastic - it was hard to finish the kimchi rice so we took it to go (large portions). This was really good stuff. I have had a lot of Asian food where it is very salty but that is the exact opposite of Pharmacii. It isn’t anything like takeout - it is your typical Korean dishes but with a very cool twist. As mentioned the vibe is really cool. There is a level of sass in the menu that you will respect. The staff at this restaurant work hard to make their vision come true and aren’t going to put up with anything that doesn’t fit into that! Definitely will come back to try some cocktails and try more.

Had a great meal here with a large table of 8 friends where we shared several of their top menu items and we were all very impressed! Service was quick and the cocktails were unique (plus reasonably priced!) We shared the korean fire chicken, bulgogi, shaker fries, and a few more sides but unfortunately I only remembered to take one photo lol (steak tataki). Great place for some high quality korean fusion - would recommend this place any day.

Pharmacii is an incredible tasting experience. Every menu item is explained when delivered to the table, showing the exceptional level of care. The interior has a very nice, dark ambiance; perfect for conversation or a night out. The drinks and food taste amazing, and the variety of options is plentiful. Every detail from the presentation of the dishes to the warm and attentive service, made the experience unforgettable. The balance of flavors and creativity in both the food and drinks is unmatched. I can’t wait to return and explore more of what this remarkable restaurant has to offer. Truly a gem!

Pharmacii is a quirky and eclectic spot with a contemporary atmosphere. Upon your arrival during night time hours, the exterior is unassuming, mysterious, and dark. Once inside, the dark walls and low lighting makes for a intimate dining experience. The handcrafted drinks and the drink menu is meticulously thought out and it offers some extremely unique flavour profiles. The dinner menu offers a wide variety of flavour combinations that are like no other venue in the city. The food is served family style and brought out at staggered intervals, which creates an unrepeatable dining experience from visit to visit. The food is presented with care using fresh and carefully crafted ingredients. The only knock I have is the food is priced at a premium, but the experience is not hampered by the pricing. I look forward to a return visit.

First rate. This place could hold its own in Toronto or New York, so we’re lucky to have it here in St Catharine’s. Every dish is an interesting experience, a delicacy, a reward. A perfect balance of salty, sweet, and richness.

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.

Great spot. Beef tartare is arguably the tastiest most creative out of the 6 other restaurants I've tried. The outdoor patio needs some sprucing up, but I can overlook that for the amazing food!! If you are visiting for the oysters, call ahead as they run out fast.

Finally a good asian restaurant in St. Catherine’s. It is a nice dive bar feel with lots of drinks and unique menu. Highlights include the seafood appetizer, aburi salmon and steak tartare. The spring rolls and mushroom jook were just OK and the karbonara was salty. But overall, a good asian fusion restaurant to try in St. Catherine’s
