Great food with an amazing owner!
Tony M.

Hungry after a tower buzzers game so the family and I tried Pelicana for the first time. So happy we did! The food was incredible and the owner was fantastic! Most definitely coming back!

Complimentary Cabbage salad- loved it
Rychl F.

Was on a hunt for the best Korean chicken as we miss the Korean place in San Diego whose chicken was really yummy, not too sweet sauce hence wanted to try Pelicana. Quite a cool place to eat and enjoy Korean chicken indeed. One isn't limited with the choices of flavors of their sauces hence we had fun choosing. Their chicken was truly yummy and to crave for more. Nicely seasoned and of course its crispness is up to par. The sauce didn't make the chicken soggy instead it added that extra umph to the taste. The place was quiet and very clean and organized. Service was great too as they often came to check on us- water was refilled regularly. We also enjoyed their complimentary cabbage salad and when we asked for more- they gave us a lot more than expected. They truly know how to take care of their customers well

Cabbage Salad
Duan D.

If you're craving crispy and I mean crispy chicken/wings you need to check this place out. The textural overload you get as you bite into these little things gives you an instant dopamine hit. Whether you elect to have the pieces sauced or on the side you will not be disappointed. Each order is made fresh so prepare to let those little guys cool down or you'll end up with a scorched tongue/mouth or both! We elected to get the full 18 wings that are half sauced and half naked with the sauce in the side. You get a free side of cabbage salad that's free refills. Overall staff is very attentive and quick to get your order and they're very fast with clean up this keeping the place super clean. Give them a go!

Crispy Crispy Fried Wings 9 Pieces

Good service albeit slow coming on a weekday (but I think it's because they were busy with takeout orders). I had no idea they had a location in Chino until recently so I had to stop by. The chicken was perfectly crispy and seasoned. I wish I had more pickled radish to go with it but I'm sure I could've asked/ordered for more. Lots of screens to watch sports and the like. Music is very loud.

The best! The radish is a must have to go with the chicken
Tim B.

What can I say? The crispy double breaded chicken here was absolutely, positively, some of the most crispy are delicious chicken I've had. I got the spicy mayo dipping sauce, which was OK. The real trick is to eat the chicken with the little radish cubes that they give you. It takes the flavor to the next level. The place was clean when I arrived and the service was good. I ended up buying a box of approximately eight pieces and I'm not gonna lie - I ate seven of them because I couldn't stop. Definitely coming back here. It was phenomenal.

Delicious fried chicken and amazing crispness and flavors pricing is a lot better at this location compared to irvine

Korean Chicken and Cocktails
Irene K.

The flavor of the chicken is amazing!! I went in to try the food as I am so into KOREAN rom-coms and dramas!! I see the amazing food so I decided to try my local Korean cuisine and live for it now!! The service here was good. The restaurant was very nice and friendly. I went early and practically ordered everything!! But the chicken and onions rings was 5 star!! I could drink by itself the Signature Sauce!! They have a good selection of beer and Soju

Crispy Ban Ban Chicken
Justine B.

Great service. Mostly solid dishes. Chill vibe. If you run cold I do recommend having a jacket. Service: the waitress was patient and informative. She made it a great first time experience. Food: the cook on everything was perfect. The exact textures I was looking for. Flavor was solid, I think there's just some things not to my personal taste. Original Fried banban Chicken with half without sauce half with Sauce - perfectly cooked! So succulent and a nice crisp. There was a nuttiness like cinnamon or nutmeg to n both that kinda threw me but I'd still recommend trying. Stir Fried Chicken Gizzard - a must try!! My favorite dish of the evening. Stir-Fried Sausage - underwhelming. A generic sausage - nothing stand out. I would recommend ordering the chicken gizzards over this one. Ddukbokki with Cheese - great size, spicy but not too spicy (and I consider myself a whimp) Overall I'd be down to go again if someone suggests it, but would really only go back for the gizzards. Have I mentioned how much I love them

Hot Spicy Fried Wings with Sauce 9 Pieces
Sherwyn H.

I came here on a Saturday night for a pick up order. The location is where my beloved Jollibee was . Anywho , I ordered the spicy wings which came with pickled radish. Darn good wings. And boy they were spicy but not where it's over bearing. Very tasty too. I will be back to try their other items. They do have a nice cozy dinning area with plenty of seating .

Peli Cheese Balls
Marie N.

I had some pelicana chicken delivered last night and was not disappointed! This was my first time trying them and will definitely be van I ordered the crispy chicken wings (sauce on the side), steamed rice, and peli cheese balls! On the side I asked for Signature sauce and hot & spicy sauce. The chicken was nice and crispy, even after delivery! I'm about a 20ish minute ride away from Pelicana, so i was pleasantly surprised at how crispy the wings still were! Both sauces were good, but i felt like the signature was a little too sweet for my taste. I ended up mixing both sauces together and using them that way! I do like that you can order the sauces in little packets and try a variety. I definitely will try a couple different sauces best time. I wasn't quite sure what to expect with the peli cheese balls! They were interesting. The texture was nice and chewy and the cheese was tasty. It has some sweetness on its coating that I wasn't expecting, but I enjoyed them. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for some quality crispy chicken. They also had a nice selection of other items besides chicken, so will have to check that out soon too!

Spicy
Kimberly B.

Chicken wings are very good crunchy and man it definitely has a spicy kick to it. I always order extra spicy for everything so the fact it kicked me, I'm impressed.

Corn Cheese
Greg F.

The name fooled me; Pelicana Chicken is a Korean style fried chicken, wings, and beer place. When a friend told me what it was, I was excited to try it. We went during the week in the evening. The decor was cool, and the interior was very clean and organized. We ordered the Corn Cheese, 9 Piece Chicken Wings, and of course some Cass Korean Beer. They also included free Cabbage Salad. It all reminded me of Korea. The corn was fantastic, and sauce on the chicken was very good. I also enjoyed the included Cabbage Salad. Regarding the service, it was excellent. The staff members checked on us regularly and made sure we had everything we needed.

Peli Shaken Fries
Melanie Y.

I love pelicana! This location has lots of parking but it's hard to find during weekends. We always end up here when coming back from Palm Springs!! I love the chicken here since you get sauce on the side & their sauces are top tier! I love the honey soy & smoked sauces! The chicken is so fresh and crispy! It stays crispy when you reheat it the next day too! The cheese fries here are delicious. The peli balls are ok - I wouldn't order again. The chicken came out so fast & they gave us gloves! I loved that there's a mini trashcan on the table for you to put bones in! There's lots of seating - even some seating outside! The interior is clean and new!

The beef was tender, flavorful, and came with a really tasty sauce. We actually liked it so much that we ordered another portion! We also tried the octopus stone pot bibimbap, Korean pancake, royal beef short ribs, cold noodles, and fried tofu. Everything was flavorful, and the cold noodles were especially refreshing after all the hot dishes. I had been here before when we were living in the LA area, so coming back after some time away made the meal feel a little more special. Sometimes it's nice to revisit a familiar restaurant and realize you still enjoy the food just as much. Overall, a great spot for Korean food in Chino Hills. I'd definitely come back again.

In a way, the food experience is very dependent on those you eat with and I have had a great time every time I come here. 3 stars only because I had a bad experience where I thought I included tip on the kiosk so when I went to leave, a woman ran after me and said "No tips?" with a laughing tone that we both knew was fake. And another bad experience that hinged on the trauma from the first time where after 5 minutes of sitting there with the receipt, I called over one of the workers to make sure I paid like I didn't just watch him slide my card into the kiosk and print out a receipt.

The banchan came out first and then the bimbimbap. The tofu soup took forever to come out which was a little confusing because I'm used to getting it first at Korean restaurants. The food was excellent and the banchan was tasty. The tofu soup lacked flavor and the medium spice barely tasted spicy at all. The bimbimbap was definitely my favorite part of the meal. I wish there was more meat in it. I was a little disappointed that the waitress didn't come and check up on me and I had to go to the front to pay instead of paying at the table.

Then my wife recommended this location. I was skeptical and reluctant at first, but since she wanted to try it, I reluctantly agreed. I'm so glad I did because I quickly realized that I was completely wrong about this place! The menu here is different from the other Chodang locations I've been to, and the ambiance was comforting, warm, and welcoming. The staff and owner were also incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. Most importantly, the food was really, really good! They brought out tasty banchan (side dishes) right away, which was a great start. We ordered the tofu soup combo and pork cutlet, and both were phenomenally delicious. I especially loved the pork cutlet. It was perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining juicy and tender inside. Absolutely delicious! Needless to say, I'm officially a new fan of this restaurant. They definitely won me over, and I'll be coming back again in the near future. If you're looking for a great tofu restaurant near Chino, this is definitely a place worth trying!

Customer service was good as our server and other employees checked on us frequently. If we asked them for side dishes they brought them promptly. However an experience with a particular employee ticked me off. At the end of our meal we asked if we could take the leftovers and he said they didn't do that here. I asked about the policy on the tablet that indicated you get charged $5 for leftover meat. I mistakenly thought we could take it home because of that and asked the employee about it, citing the tablet. He ignored my question and just said sorry, we couldn't take the leftovers. All he had to say was that the tablet policy indicates you pay for it, but can't take it home. Blatantly ignoring me and turning to my aunt to finish closing out the check and just saying "sorry" didn't answer my question! Ambiance: Furniture is nice and modern, but the AC wasn't working (or no AC at all in general, just fans?) in triple degree heat on 8/23/26 at 4:15pm. Add that on top of cooking meat on grills directly in front of you, and it's practically a sauna. If you have a restaurant like this in Southern California you should prioritize AC!
