Excellent Korean style fried chicken. Pelicana is famously known in South Korea. Highly recommend choosing this place over other fried chicken chains.I ordered their crispy banban (1/2 & 1/2) chicken & their sweet potato fries! ?Best sauces are garlic, hot chili, and signature sauce for those who prefer less spicy. Even original is perfectThe lady at the counter was super helpful and cheerful. Customer service is on point ?

Excellent fried chicken, Korean style. Better than any of the fried chicken chains.Bone-in always tastes better than boneless. Choose original over crispy as the latter is double batter fried.Best sauces are garlic, hot chilly (spicy enough for Asian tastes) and signature sauce for those who prefer less spicy option.Take-out works better but they have a no-frills dine-in section as well.The lady at the counter was super helpful and cheerful.

Do NOT ever use their online ordering. Somehow an order takes 20 minutes to confirm. By the time I got to the restaurant, they just began cooking. They must improve their online system!

"If you love Korean-style chicken, I highly recommend this place. It's incredibly crispy and the seasoning is very flavorful. Also, the combination of tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) and odeng tang (fish cake soup) is excellent. When you're undecided about other menu options besides chicken, give it a try."

Saw the reviews and thought this place would be good. I'd say it's decent but a little to much on the sweet side. Bonchon is honestly better than this place but honestly I'd say just go to a Korean bbq restaurant. I've had other Korean spots and this one just isn't it for me. Food is not worth the price. Everything was just too sweet. The boneless chicken feet was probably the best thing I had. The fried cheese ball had too much tapioca starch and very chewy when it's not suppose to be like that. I'm half Korean and most Korean spots I've been too had good flavors, balanced and tasted fresh. The Tteokbokki tasted store bought. The young girl who served is the sweetest. I had the peli fries and that was also very sweet as well and I asked if I could just get regular fries or take it out of my order and the cook denied to make me another and had to pay for it. I'm not complaining to much about it but for everything to take about almost an hour to come out and the price for it I'd say it's not worth it.

I arrived on a Wednesday at 6 pm and there were a few people dining in and ordering to go. They have 2 types of chicken: original and crispy (double fried). You can get it with or without sauce. I ordered wings (9 pieces for $18). It took less than 20 minutes for our food to be ready. They make it fresh for you. I asked for a side of the original sauce which is like a sweet and spicy garlic sticky soy glaze. They also provide a side of packaged pickled cubed radishes. I have had pelicana before and i think this location has better food than the other one i went to. Inside is spacious with a good amount of seating. The chicken was crispy and very hot. The first bite had a flavorful crunch with a really juicy chicken. Overall, probably the best fried chicken option around. I will be back.Tip: they are located in the same plaza as the Haven City Market. Not inside the Haven City Market Hall but 2 doors down on the left of it in their own space.

Awful white rice. This rice condition is very old and smell bad. I don't understand how this kinds of rice was $3. It looked order 2 or 3 days past at least.Do not order a white rice this place. Bad bad bad
So was looking for something new to try came across this place on yelp. Went and tried the Korean wings with the cheese fries and cheese balls. The service was amazing very professional and fast service. The ambiance was cute K pop music playing loved it! Definitely will be back

Ordered the Crispy Banban Wimgs with Spicy Sauce and it was ? fire!!! The chicken without sauce is very crispy and flavourful. Shaken fries has some cheese on it which compliments the chicken. By far one of the best chicken wings I've had!!!

Crispy but not burnt on the outside, with a flavourful juicy tender chicken inside.Be careful when ordering online at their Rancho location.Ordered online and after 20 mins didn't receive an additional confirmation they request to wait for with an ETA.We drive to the restaurant and they didn't have my order. The receptionist was very kind and apologized that she was new.Soon after the orders finally pushed through and I received my eta via email which was another 20+ minutes.I recommend plain fries over Peli.Parking: Plenty of parking in this shopping center. The restaurant is located next to Haven City Market.

Pelicana has ruined chicken wings for my wife and I. Don't think we'll enjoy regular "big chain" wing spots anymore. We came here on a late night date night. They make everything fresh. Had the crispy plain And the crispy soy wings and wow, These wings are bomb. My wife commented this is the first date we've had where we hadn't even looked or spoken to each other for like 10 min after the food came out lol. When we finally did look at each other it wasn't pretty. It's tasty, crunchy, messy - and all of that reflected on our faces. Make sure to get the pickled radish on the side! Adds a nice fresh and tangy side to cut through the fried chicken. Also, for the parents of young kids- bring a pack of your wet wipes, your hands (and face) will thank you! The cashier was really sweet. Super nice. She also did a lot of the front of the house work. We'll be back when we're ready to indulge again!

I love this place! I'm not a fan of the bone-in wings here, because I think they are too big, so I get boneless. The sauces can be pretty spicy so I get mine on the side. My husband, however, loves the bone-in wings with the spiciest sauce. There's something for everyone's taste. The radish cubes are crisp and delicious The atmosphere is very chill here and staff has always been friendly.
