Amazing food. Crispy chicken was surprisingly exactly as its named...crispy. The sweet and spicy, the bbq, and honey garlic sauces were great. The soy chicken was not sweet or salty...well balanced and tasted great with spicy mayo dip. Boneless was definitely the way to go. The pieces were a mix of dark and white meat. Truly half a chicken. And awesome french fries. Thick but crispy so each bit had a crunch and potato to go with it. Definitely ordering again. This was delivery.
They have changed!!!!!!
I’m going to be honest.
Their previous manager or whoever was in charge was pretty bad.
But ever since they changed,
food got better, service got much better.
I truly want to support them now.
Most of all, their chicken is so juicy, crunchy and delicious!!!!!
I wish they keep the food quality this way!
After a change in management, this restaurant is operating very well. Delicious fresh fried chicken wings and great customer service! It's my go to spot when craving fried chicken and soju! Favorite sauce is honey garlic!
Food was hot and fresh. Chicken, crispy. Chili sauce, spicy. No lie though, I had to hit the bathroom as soon as I was done eating. I blame that more on my restricted diet of mostly red meat than any qualitative properties of the food at Pelicana Chicken.
Just know that vegetable oils, with the exception of olive oil, are terrible for you and nightshades destroy my digestive tract. Even though I love tomatoes spicy peppers, I can't eat them without ill effect.
Their fried chicken is so good that I'll take an upset stomach to enjoy it from time to time. Recommended.
Relaxed atmosphere. Very well done interior. Chicken is great, super close to the original in Korea. Definitely worth a try.
got a spicy chicken sandwhich, was fantastic. their fries are crunchy and crispy as well, worth a stop if you are a fan of fried chicken
My go-to place for Korean Fried Chicken and I'm so glad they are still open in this quarantine. Quality still good and nothing has changed since new management. Service is good, people are nice, my girl loves to eat here as well. I usually get the original while she gets the spicy crispy chicken wings (too much batter for me). I also recommend the fries, both regular and sweet potato, but keep in mind, the food is better when eaten right away or else everything gets soggy. Air fry the food if you have left overs. I get full after 5-8 pieces. If I were 10 years younger, I'd finish at least 20 in one sitting like the good old days ...

Came here again for takeout. Tried something new which were the grilled wings and they were awesome! Consistent quality. Very friendly service and honestly, I would probably try their other stuff next time.
A++ service from the very beginning. 1st we couldn't find the place and he walked outside to help us find the place, then he was super polite explaining everything about the sauces, THEN we ended up ordering more then what we had cash for (on us), not only was he super cool about taking it off the order, but when I opened the bag I saw that he gave it to us anyways. My kids were REALLY happy about that.
Aside from the service, the chicken was AMAZING! It is NOT often that I could say someone else cooks better then me lol.
I had a good experience. My party of four ordered the Whatever 1 with the spicy fried chicken with the signature sauce level 1 on the chicken and a large boneless crispy fried chicken. I would highly recommend the former. The boneless crispy fried chicken was good but not nearly as enjoyable as the spicy fried chicken with the signature sauce. The spicy fried chicken was really crispy and had the right amount of spiciness for me.
Service could be a bit better. At first they were more diligent with giving us water but over time they stopped. There were only two other customers there with a couple of servers working, more than enough staff to better attend to customers.
I'm planning to come back here with several co-workers.
I love their chicken sandwich! I wish the lights were brighter because it sometimes feels too dark and looks closed from the outside. K Pop is upbeat music, perhaps the decor can match it more? I knew of pelicans before from the one on 34th Street and I feel this one holds up to it, but I only went to it rather recently. Wings and small bites are great too!
