First time trying this place and the only reason why I can't give it 5 stars is because I didn't like any of the sauces. We tried honey garlic and sweet and spicy. We got our sauces on the side and I'm glad for that. The spice level on the sweet and spicy had us crying and the honey garlic was too sweet. We got our food to go so can't speak to ambiance other than place was clean service was good and the food was fresh

CHEESE BALL 4PCSON
Brit M.

Last week, a few coworkers and I visited this restaurant to celebrate a coworkers birthday. Based on reviews, the food should be top notch so we gave it a try. We went around lunch time so there wasn't a crowd. We got immediately and served. There is a lengthy menu with lots of options. We tried a little of everything. I was impressed, but the food was decent. Everything was cooked well. The most interesting dish was the cheese balls. We couldn't quite figure it out, but it was like sweet and savory. It was weird, but we tried it. I also order wings, which were good, but nothing special. The best part of the entire meal was the coffee! We got complimentary coffee and it was DELICIOUS 10/10 for sure. Overall a good restaurant, but not great in my option. The service was nice also! Friendly staff!

Really cute place. They have a full bar with a excellent choice of draft beer import, and local.. if you'd like to watch sports, they have TVs above the bar as well. Great music.. and let me just tell you about the chicken !!!! perfection! We will definitely be back to try the other menu items.

YUMMY!! I had been hearing all about the hype on this place and we finally decided to get some food to go from here. I ordered online and I showed up around the time it said it would be ready but still needed about 10 minutes before it was ready. We ordered a bunch of different things. The original boneless no sauce was great, and we tried the garlic sauce boneless (we couldn't find the soy garlic online which we had heard was all the rave!) but regardless the garlic was AWESOME. Then we also tried the spicy bone in which was good but not very spice. I think next time I would do the bone in with soy garlic and make sure to get it all crispy!! For the side, we got some fries which were just alright nothing crazy and the chicken fried rice. The chicken fried rice was good but don't think it worth getting again. Overall a delicious meal and the staff was super nice. Parking is a tiny lot so definitely be aware of that.

This chicks is crispy, crunchy , seasoned and fried right. This location is the key I come straight past The Duluth location onto the city because it's not the same. When you get tired of wing everything try these cutely cut up thighs all fried crispy and tossed or not they are still great.wirking my way thru each flavor the honey garlick is awesome and the dry onion reminds me of the shake on stuff at JJ's . You can taste the chicken difference when the oil is fresh daily and it Halal ! Try it Downtown open late , parking in back is free for patrons . Worth the wait and the dumplings are also very good

Visiting from out of town and trying to find a solid spot to kill your hunger can be overwhelming - you really wanna get it right. Pelicana absolutely delivered on that front. This place served up some seriously tasty Korean fried chicken in a tucked-away corner spot with sleek black walls, a cool industrial vibe, intimate lighting, and a spotless feel. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming too. They stay open late (perfect after a late night out), and the chicken is legit - crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. I went with the Crispy Sweet & Spicy and the Honey Glazed Soy. The sweet and spicy had a nice kick that was manageable thanks to the sweetness balancing it out - great flavor overall. The honey soy was tasty too, though I wished the sauce was more reduced allowing it to cling better to the chicken getting that extra crispy glossy finish. Service was prompt at this late hour and served as an excellent spot to wrap up a late night with friends. The only minor catch for late night service is the automatic 20% gratuity no matter the party size - something to be mindful of when budgeting. Solid Korean fried chicken in a cool atmosphere with great energy. Definitely worth the visit - deserves 4 stars!

This place saved our night! We were starving and too tired to go anywhere so we ended up at the hotel and searching for delivery options. This was our first time eating from Pelicana and I'm honestly not a huge wing fan so wasn't expecting much. I figured they'd be a little off no matter what since it was being delivered, but I was proven absolutely wrong. I'm not sure what wizardry was at work here, but every bite felt fresh. The food was still hot, the wings still had a crisp bite, and the sauce was spicy/tangy perfection. Plus, the little side of pickled radish was perfect. It hit every flavor profile we were looking for and can't wait to do it again!

Pelicana is something I've always wanted to try, and I'm excited ATL has a halal location! Right next to Masjid Al-Farooq, there is a small parking lot in the front and additional parking in the back. I appreciate the menu being explicit on what's halal and what's not. We had the chicken sandwich, the garlic wings, the half chicken with sweet/spicy level 2 and the Cajun fries. We also got sodas on the house for a review. The food was decent. The chicken was juicy and hot when it came out. The breading on the chicken was crispy but a little thick, and could have used more seasoning. I wasn't a fan of the garlic sauce (just straight garlic) or the sweet/spicy (cinnamon fwd??). The radishes though were awesome, great to cut through the fattiness of the meal. The service was great! Our server Feby was excellent, super friendly and helpful, and checked in with us for what we needed. As a suggestion - the restaurant should be split into two sections (drinking and not drinking) to help with the ambience. For example the party behind us, which kept swearing and ruined our family meal. It would help bring crowds in that otherwise may not choose to due to the restaurants interior.

I really enjoyed the chicken at Pelicans! The wings were cooked perfectly to me!! Honestlyyyy that extra crispy texture... yum. The sweet & spicy flavor was my favorite of the two. The honey soy was good too, just a bit sweeter than I usually go for, but if you love sweet wings, that one might be a hit for you. Overall, I'd definitely come back. The price felt a little high at $21 for 10 wings, but the quality was really solid. The spot itself is cute inside, the staff was super hospitable. We walked in with a to-go order on a Sunday night around 11 pm, the wait was about ~25 minutes. Sidenote: I love that they're open until 3am.. a win for late-night cravings!

I DoorDashed from this location and the food arrived timely and in great condition. The chicken quality was top notch as always and the tteokboki was a great level of spice for me. My only complaint was that the radish had a slight aftertaste that I was not fond of. Great fried chicken!

SPICY RICE CAKEON
Marceline J.

We came after 10pm and they have a gratuity notice so keep that in mind. I came around 11pm and there were plenty of seating but once it was around midnight it started to get full. The servers were attentive at times and friendly but they have this QR code system where you can call for your server through your phone but there was no point in using that because their system was slow/delayed so they didn't get the requests in time. Better to uber here because parking is very limited in the back and small spaced. We got the spicy rice cakes and they were perfect portion and spice for $16. We also got some drinks. Soju is $15 a bottle. Overall the vibes were nice for a late night eat.

Cajun fries
Alec B.

Great spot! Very cool concept and environment. Menu has a ton of great options but I opted for the soy garlic wings. Super crispy with a great flavor. They were a litttle on the smaller side so they gave me 12 instead of 10 which shows they want you to be satisfied with your experience. A friend had the chicken sandwich which looked great. They even branded their logo on the bun which is another special touch. Wings came with pickled daikon, corn-coleslaw, and salad. (All in a small sauce cup but still very nice) Service was great until the very end it took about 15 mins to get a box and the check. Only reason for 4 stars but would recommend this place. PS: Parking is not the best up front but they do have a lot behind the building.

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!

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.

Maybe I just don't get this niche area of Korean cuisine but I found the cold soup kind of bland…read moreand most of the normal dishes I expect on a Korean menu, kimchi, the sides, japchae, etc. didn't seem to be there. 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.
