“ Unbelievable food, the bulgogi and fried chicken were perfect. Staff were kind and attentive. Definitely go!! ”
“ Extensive list of very inventive cocktails. I tried the Boy in Pink cocktail, and Dr Seuss Likes Green Cherries. Some cocktails pair with a little extra bite on the side which is fun. I saw someone ordering the Humpty Dumpty cocktail which is served in a chip bag! Similar vibes to Toronto bar Hanmoto, with the cocktail creativity of Suite 115, Slice of Life, Mother. ”
“ I tried the KFC chicken and calamari, and both were tasty. I also had two cocktails, which were enjoyable but a bit pricey. Had 2 bubble shots, mango flavored which were amazing. The atmosphere and service were good, making it a nice spot for a casual meal. If you're looking for a place to relax and enjoy some decent food and drinks, I'd recommend checking it out! ”
“ 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 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. ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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! ”
