Needed a quick bite to eat on my way out of H Mart and decided on Pelicana Chicken. I have heard and read so many things about Pelicana so I'm glad that I finally had a chance to check them out. Located in the food court, there's plenty of seating if you decide to sit down and enjoy your meal. I planned to take mine to go, so I didn't get too comfortable. There were some great options available on the menu, including an afternoon lunch special (that I didn't qualify for due to my visit timing but, another time!) I opted for the cup chicken and went with sweet & spicy level 2. The gentleman behind the counter was super friendly and helped me make my dining decision when I was being indecisive. He gave me a pager and about 10 minutes later, my chicken was ready. My cup of chicken was freshly fried and hot af in more ways than one when I received it. The cup was packed to the brim of chunks of chicken, they were not shy with the portions. The sauce was perfectly sweet and spicy, truly elite flavors. But that spice? Baby, that was not a level 2! LOL. That nice guy tried me. I love spice and that chicken was kicking my butt lol. But all in all, wonderful flavors. read more

I finally had a chance to try Pelicana Chicken, and overall, it was a decent experience. I ordered the crispy 10-piece wings with sweet chili sauce, the crispy half bone-in chicken with honey garlic sauce, and a regular order of fries. The sauces were excellent, and the chicken was cooked very well with a great crispy texture. Both the wings and the bone-in chicken were flavorful and satisfying. The honey garlic and sweet chili sauces really stood out and added a lot to the meal. The fries were the only food item I didn't care for. They come seasoned, which isn't my preference, and like many takeout fries, they didn't hold up very well once they cooled down. Parking can be a challenge in front of the restaurant because of the heavy traffic, but there is plenty of free parking available in the back, which makes things much easier. My biggest issue was the price. For 10 wings, a half chicken, and fries, the total came to about $47. In my opinion, that's a bit expensive for what you get. They also don't offer a military discount, which was disappointing. Would I go back? Maybe. The food was good and the sauces were excellent, but the prices make it hard to justify visiting regularly. read more

This place is absolutely horrible. I ordered the six piece lunch special. I only got four wings. I told the person at the counter. She called the manager. They said there was nothing they could do. So essentially they stole from me. DO NOT COME TO THIS LOCATION. THEY WILL STEAL FROM YOU. I love the Pelicano on 14th street. But this one is horrible. I will be calling better business on them. I also work in the legal field and will talk to someone in my office tomorrow. You can tell they do this often. read more

This is located in the H Mart food court, so the setup is pretty basic. The guy who took my order was nice. The chicken is kinda of pricey. I ordered the chicken in the cup and it was just okay. I ordered the shrimp and they were delicious! Definitely get the shrimp. read more

I appreciate the high health department score! The crispy battered and breaded and the garlic flavor chicken were very good. Should customers be asked to give an additional tip of 20% to 30% when prices are above the norm? Here are my concerns: * Price versus cost. The menu board says '6 wings' for $11.99 THESE ARE HALF OF A WING. NOT A WHOLE WING! 3 wings for $11.99 equals $3.00 per wing. $11.99 versus a fair price of $7.99 to $8.99 SUGGESTED COST VERSUS PRICE: Approximately 18 cents each before seasoning and cooking. Finished Food Cost Typical additions: * Flour or breading: $0.01 * Seasoning: $0.01 * Fry oil: $0.02 * Sauce: $0.05-0.08 * Box/liner: $0.10-0.15 Typical total finished cost: Item Cost Chicken $1.75 Sauce $0.60 Fry oil $0.20 Packaging $0.12 Seasoning/Breading $0.08 Total Food Cost (10-piece order) $2.75 Labor is not included. Menu Pricing 30% Food Cost $2.75 ÷ .30 = $9.17 Minimum selling price 28% Food Cost $2.75 ÷ .28 = $9.82 25% Food Cost $2.75 ÷ .25 = $11.00 Current Market Pricing Today, many wing concepts price approximately: Size Typical Price 6-piece $7.99-$8.99 8-piece $9.49-$10.99 10-piece $10.99-$13.99 20-piece $20.99-$24.99 read more

The best fried chicken ever! It's juicy and the batter is super crunchy. I love their sauce as well. I tried the sweet & spicy LVL 1, it's just the right spice for me. The cheese dry seasoning is delicious. The honey garlic is finger licking delicious. Garlicky but not too overpowering. I will try other flavors next time. It's located inside HMart Doraville, food court style. It seems pricey at first but once you try it, it's worth it. read more

First time actually eating here (vs having it delivered) since we needed to go to H-Mart anyway. Still love the food but not worth sitting and waiting for the food in the small crowded food court. read more

I always enjoy the chicken at Pelicana. Is always very crispy. There is also a nice vibe with a great soundtrack playing and moody lights. Drinks are tasty and the service is good. Great late night spot, too. read more

Honestly everything was as expected for a food court fried chicken. Ordered takeout and took about 10m to get home - chicken was still crispy. Well flavored and not too salty or sweet. The sandwich could use more slaw. Probably would just go for chicken next time. I would def return! read more

While it was a little pricey, the food was excellent. My friend, who has had Korean fried chicken before said it was very good! The happy chicken portion was a lot and I had plenty to take home. Super crispy is the way to go. Everyone there was so polite. I will go back! read more

Based on previous reviews I had really high expectations for this place. Unfortunately it wasn't as good as I had hoped. The order took almost 40 minutes to come out. There wasn't a big line and it wasn't super busy so i am not sure what was happening. We ordered and ate food from the neighboring stall well before our order from here came out. Once it came out they forgot our side sauces. They fixed it and the spicy ranch was pretty tasty. The boneless cup of chicken was ok. It was heavily sauced but a generous portion. The bone in wings were ordered spicy. It had a good heat. The fries were so salty!!!!! They also needed to be crispier. Overall with all of the other options here and just outside in the plaza I wouldn't be in a huge hurry to come back. read more

Pretty solid chicken place. It's located in the hmart food court and is decently quick to get your food. We did the salad and honey garlic chicken. The quality of the chicken is great and it doesn't seem too saucey. You get a lot of food for your money. Would recommend trying it out if you're in the area. read more

Pelicana Chicken - Food Court Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

WINNER WINNER PELICANA CHICKEN DINNER |when craving a quick little fried chicken snack, why not head to the H-Mart food court and pick up a cup chicken (popcorn chicken). There are various flavors, although the best one is the sweet & spicy - choose the level you like based on your tolerance. I tried a couple of the other flavors, the white cheese and the honey garlic. The white cheese is powdered, not saucy, so the chicken got a little dry. So saucy options are the way to go! Definitely a great option for a quick snack after a grocery shopping trip. read more

Ended up getting a half Soy Garlic(honey garlic) or whatever. Sign was a little confusing. The chicken was tasty but not as crunchy as I hoped for since I asked for the extra crunchy style based on their menu. I feel the sauce was maybe too liquid and not cooked off enough to where it could stick well to the chicken. So it was more drenched and not a glaze like I've gotten elsewhere. Still tasty, just a preference. The fries were also good. They have that bit of batter around them that makes them extra crunchy. You could have a solid snack of just those if you wanted. The lady was nice. The atmosphere is loud since it's in the H-Mart food court. Lots of really good food here overall. Mostly Korean if your family do not want to eat unknown foods, Pelicana is a good place to go since you can basically get "chicken nuggets" here and you can get other foods or simply come here for the KFC fix. Either way is good. Have 4 stars as it's good but not the best. Will try again to see if the other flavors are better. read more

I wish I would have taken a picture of the foods I get but I forget every time! :( I've came here twice and the first time I got chicken by itself, it was sooooo good. I dipped it in some honey garlic sauce that they have. The chicken came out VERY hot, which I loved because you know it's freshly cooked. The second time I went, I got s chicken sandwich, which of course was amazing. Still came out super hot, so be careful! Lol. Not sure if it's a downside for anyone else. But the chicken patty is so big, the bun looks like a mini bun. Great protein, but I wish the buns were bigger to fit the sandwich. The service is great! And I love going into h mart, just a world of wonders. You can find anything there! read more

Pelicana Chicken - Restaurant inside H mart - Food Court Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This was our second delivery order in the last two weeks. The first experience was fantastic. Great food. Timely delivery. Recommend to friends and neighbors. Tonight, ordered delivery at 5:15pm. Delivery time kept slipping and driver tracking showed stalled for over an hour. Food arrived at 6:50. Stone cold. Driver was clearly distracted. Called the restaurant several times during the process. Said I they use Sauce for delivery and not on them once the order was picked up. Thing is, I ordered through their website directly. Don't know who Sauce is nor do I care. Called the restaurant back after we received the cold, stale food. Said I would have to contact Sauce (who TF is this?) to submit a dispute. I'll just submit a dispute through my credit card company and they will not receive a dime. We will never order from them again -- sad, because the first order was incredible and the food quality was superb. Shame. read more

The chicken was solid overall, it was crunchy and looked good and had a staff that was very efficient with getting orders complete. As a person who doesn't really like chicken with sauces, I was little disappointed that the chicken wasn't as well seasoned as I thought it would be. I would recommend others to give it a try at least once especially if you live in Home Park. read more

This place serves great fried chicken with a good amount of sauce on them. I ordered the soy garlic boneless chicken and they were a good size with the sauce not being too light or overwhelming. The service was quick, I was able to get my food in under 10 minutes. There was also a lot of seating available and it was very clean in their food court. This is a great place inside Hmart to grab a bite after shopping. read more

Pelicana Chicken - Truffle French Fries (L) Whole Chicken Combo (B) - Food Court Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

While eating food from a vendor in the food court at H Mart, I noticed that Pelicana Chicken was finally open in another food stall there. This business specializes in Korean fried chicken, providing customers instructions on how to order the fried chicken: Step 1. Choose your chicken (pieces, or whole or half chicken), Step 2. Chose your batter (original, crispy, original spicy or crispy spicy), Step 3. Select a Signature sauce (if desired). Other menu items are soy garlic chicken, grilled wings, numerous appetizers and snacks, salads, Ugly Fried Chicken Sandwich, Cup Chicken, and various types of drinks. According to a sign on the menu, meals are coming soon that include fried rice. Ordering was a quick transaction, and the employee taking orders at the counter answered all of my questions. I ordered the Cup Chicken with level 1 sweet and spicy sauce for us to share, since I just wanted to snack on something from Pelicana Chicken after already eating a meal. After paying at the counter, I was given a very small pager, that lit up and sounded an annoying audible alarm that let me know my food was ready to pick up at the counter. The cup of chicken was on the small side. Chunks of lightly battered and slightly crispy chicken with a sweet chili-ish type of sauce drizzled on the chicken filled the small cup. I wish I hadn't ordered the added sauce, because I really wanted to be able to taste the full fried chicken flavor for my first Pelicana Chicken experience. The chicken wasn't greasy and was nicely done. I would suggest this as a small snack, but I also think that the small portion is not worth $6 for the chicken and another $1 for the added sauce. The quality of this snack is high, and clearly has a better flavor than the popcorn chicken found at most tea places on Buford Highway. I plan on coming back in the future to try other menu items. read more

Very happy to have a Korean Fried Chicken option available in the Doraville Super H Mart food court! I had first noticed the Pelicana Chicken name in the Super H Mart shopping center in Duluth, and saw they had good reviews. Ordered the Cup Chicken for $8 - great size option for one person. Didn't opt for the sauces which is $1, and just wanted to check out the regular fried version as my benchmark. Brought it home, and was pleased it still stayed very crispy! The skin & the meat was flavorful, and had a slight kick to it too. My favorite part was the crispiness. The cashier and the lady making the chicken were very nice. The only downside is the wait time. Like all KFC locations, the chicken is made-to-order ... so it's a trade-off. I think psychologically, waiting 20 min in a restaurant feels more acceptable ... waiting 20 min in a crowded food court with COVID anxiety feels extra long. Peeking inside the kitchen, saw just two ladies ... extra help in the back might speed things up except the space is pretty small. It was clear Pelicana Chicken (and the hot dog stall next door) were most popular, and there was a lot of people w/ the vibrating pagers waiting for their orders. Come w/ patience :) Next time I'd like to try their flavored versions, and some of the side dishes. read more

Pretty mid. Ordered the chicken sandwich, fried whole chicken, and truffle fries. Chicken sandwich was pretty good but not enough to justify price.

Pelicana Chicken - Original Fried Chicken - Food Court Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I am a returning customer & I am obsessed with the chicken here. The sauce is well coated on the chicken and the chicken is fried to perfection - even with options of crispy batter or regular batter. Chicken also comes with sour pickled radish to cut the fat/dense taste, although the chicken does not feel greasy or overwhelming at all. Flavors pair perfectly and chicken stays crispy for a long time. The honey garlic and garlic wings honestly taste pretty similar lol both are sweet. If you're not a fan of sweet and salty the sauces might not be for you. My only complaint is that on busy days the wait time can be quite long (up to 20-ish minutes for any order). read more

Pretty good food. I think their boneless option would be better. My wings were very saucy and it is just not what I was expecting. I got honey mustard wings with their spicy breading. Very good, just saucy. The service was pretty good. I was the only one waiting and got my food in about 10 or so minutes. This location is in a shopping center, so not too great of a vibe. Good food. Would go again, but to get the boneless option. read more

Pelicana Chicken - Sweet & Spicy Popcorn Chicken - Food Court Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This is the location at the H Mart Doraville food court. Service has been terrible each of the 3 times I've been here. Same cashier. First time: He was yucking it up with someone instead of taking orders. 3 of us were waiting to order. Second time: waited 35 minutes for a half fried chicken - their main menu item. Got my order, went to car and realized that they had given me the wrong order. Third time, today: ordered on their website. It said the order would be ready in 15 minutes. I arrived in 20. He said my order was coming. I got my food 56 minutes after I ordered it. And the cashier seemed to give zero effs. So different than the Georgia Tech location. Love that spot. read more
