Fried Shrimp
E.l. J.

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.

4 wings on a 6 wing special.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

White Cheese, Sweet & Spicy, and Honey Garlic Cup Chicken (popcorn chicken) @tiffhuangry
Tiff H.

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.

Half Soy Garlic with plain fries.
Ernst Anton K.

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.

Restaurant inside H mart
Dazziyah M.

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!

Soy Garlic Boneless Chicken
Steven Z.

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.

Truffle French Fries (L) Whole Chicken Combo (B)
Eva P.

I ordered soy breast whole bone in chicken with sweet spicy lv2 sauce and original batter and large size of truffle fries. It was so good and the chicken doesn't smell like chicken smell or oil. The truffle fries was my favorite

Vendor stall.
Kevin C.

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.

1 cup chicken - very good!
Addy C.

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.

Took forever to get the food. Spicy original was not great. I would have preferred Popeyes or Chick-fil-A for that price.

Everything was delicious. Literally no complaints from the table. We ordered the Banchan & Kimchi, Scallion Pancake, Brussel Sprouts, Bulgogi, Kimchi Crab Fritters, Glass Noodles, Fries Chicken Soy Garlic & Spicy Pork Bulgogi. Service, food and drinks 5 Stars

From the outside, the front entrance is a very plain white unassuming door, but once inside the ambiance is full of personality. Grungy, dim lit, industrial is the vibe. The service was very friendly, everyone has such cool tattoos, and the food was amazing. They serve smaller style portions, so it's easy to get multiple things and share. We got the glass noodles with bone marrow and the braised pork belly. The glass noodles were tender but still had a nice bounce to them, and the bone marrow added a deep warm umami flavor. The braised pork belly was perfectly cooked, slight crisp and very juicy. It came with some lettuce and pickled vegetables to make wraps with. Overall a great hang out or date spot, will definitely be coming back to try the other menu items

I was quite disappointed with my dinner tonight. It had been several months since my last visit to…read moreBene's, and I was looking forward to having the Kimchi Stew ($14.99), also known as Kimchi Jjigae. It's one of my favorite Korean dishes, and I've ordered it several times at Bene's in the past. While the stew was decent during previous visits, I was disappointed with how it tasted this time. I think that the chef may be adjusting the flavors to cater to local preferences, which is fair, but the dish no longer resembles the traditional Kimchi Jjigae I've enjoyed both in Korea and the U.S. The broth wasn't spicy and had an overpowering tomato or ketchup-like flavor that didn't taste right for this dish. The pork was also overcooked, and the accompanying rice tasted stale. I did not finish my meal. I was also surprised to find that Bene's no longer serves individual portions of three assorted side dishes, along with soup and salad, as part of each person's meal. Instead, the side dishes are now served in shared portions for the entire table, which is similar to traditional Korean dining experiences, but Bene's portion size for them were noticeably smaller than in the past. There are so many other affordable Korean restaurants on Buford Highway that I've enjoyed, so unfortunately, I wouldn't return to Bene's. I wish them all the best, though!

The box also came with three veggie side dishes that have a name but I am not looking it up sorry. My box had some udon soup that was ok, a delicious roll, 12 slices of fish, a couple eggs, come eel, some tempura, and a crab stick. It was all fresh tasting and delicious.

This restaurant soft-opened in March 2024 and officially opened in April 2024 in the old Breakers Korean barbecue space near the defunct Gwinnett Place Mall, and I-85 at Pleasant Hill Rd (exit 104). It's spacious, but can fill up quick. We arrived at noon on a Saturday and there were still plenty of open tables. However, by the time we left, shortly after 1pm, it was packed with people looking for tables. Someone jumped on our table as we were getting up to leave. This is not a sit-down restaurant. Instead, you order at one of two touchscreen kiosks at the entrance and then wait for your number to be called to pick up your food. Everything is self-serve, from condiments to hot broth. You also bus your own table. Here's what three of us got: B3. Heo [sic] Naengmyeon ($16.99) - spicy sweet potato starch noodles with raw fish (should be spelled "hoe") C3-B1. Naengmyeon and Yuk Jeon ($20.99) - cold sweet potato starch noodles and thinly sliced beef pancake C1-B1. Naengmyeon and Dwaeji Yang Nyum Gui ($18.99) - cold sweet potato starch noodles and grilled pork neck D4. Kimchi Son Mandu ($11.99) - handmade kimchi dumplings My wife and I love naengmyeon. We thought Naju's version was good, especially in this fast-casual format. To nitpick, the noodles stuck together and the ice melted too fast. Regardless, I found the noodles to be delicious, refreshing, and satisfying. The spicy version came with a small bowl of icy broth on the side. The raw fish, beef pancake, and grilled pork neck were all tasty and of decent quality. As for the handmade kimchi dumplings, they were legit. Big and filling. In addition to naengmyeon, Naju also offers a variety of Korean soups (e.g., seolleongtang - ox bone soup and gomtang - beef bone soup) and LA galbi (grilled short ribs). During our visit, the pickup counter was staffed by a bunch of ajummas (Korean middle-aged women), basically Korean lunch ladies. I'd come back. This place seems ideal for a quick stop for an easy and reliable Korean meal / comfort food.

The dumplings I ordered were kinda meh too. I feel like I could boil some Bibigo or Pulmuone dumplings from H-Mart and they would have been better. But again, this is a pretty big Korean area outside Atlanta and its possible I just don't know what I'm talking about on this one. In any case, it isn't really for me, and the dumplings were not great.
