    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!

    Stop by here for a Happy Hour pick me up. The place is clean and cozy. Food is delicious, crispy and juicy chicken wings fresh made upon ordering. It came with the cabbage salad. Service was great, we were given refills for the salad. I love this place, will come here more often since it's not too far. I used to go to the OC one. Korean chicken are always my favorite ~!!!

    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!

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

While we were there, we learned that they will be closing down soon. Their last day is 6/28/2026. If you love chicken, come give them a try before they close down. The great thing about this place is they have over 30 different flavors to choose from. We ordered the: - Saigon 22 Herbs & Spices Wings and Chicken Tenders Combo - Tandoori Flavor Wings and Chicken Tenders Combo - Cajun and Jamaican Jerk Flavored Wings All the Combos came with one side and a drink. Didn't have to wait long before the friendly owner brought out our foods. Service was quick and the restaurant is nice and clean. Wow, the wings and tenders are bigger than most chicken places we've been to. All the four flavors we tried were very tasty. The portions were so big, we ended up taking the rest of them home. Overall, we enjoyed eating here. It is just unfortunate that they will be closing at the end of the month.

    This is the local pho spot to hit up…read more Firstly, I have to commend the level of service we received -- phenomenal. Brother made us feel at home and was ultra attentive. From ensuring our waters were always filled to even constructing a ready-made toddler chopsticks for our 4-year old. The atmosphere itself is nice, clean, and casual with (surprisingly) indie music playing in the background. Now for the food -- Salt & pepper wings: yes. Get this. Crunchy, juicy, piping hot, delicious. Combination pho: great! Broth by itself is tasty. Good ratio of meat to noodles to soup. Pork vermicelli: great! We asked to skip the lettuce and server asked us what extra we'd like in the vermicelli. Family friendly spot as they have a nice little changing station in the restroom as well.

    I'm going to preface this one. Normally I rate primarily on food and price with ambiance and…read moreservice being a secondary concern. That said, my family had such a great experience with our waiter Sean that I can't really ignore it for this one. He really went above and beyond, joking with the kids, being very personable and attentive, and just overall being a great host. On to the review. The store itself is clean and pleasant, the service staff was fantastic the day we were there. My family and I walked in after spending the morning out in the sun and we were tired and dehydrated. We decided to stop by because my youngest wanted pho. We ordered a ribeye pho, a grilled bbq squid, and a bun bo hue. Pho - I feel like pho is a dish that you can really express yourself with. This pho leans heavily into what we're guessing is cinnamon and sugar than other pho and is a bit sweeter and warmer than most. This particular pho also wasn't quite as rich as some of the others I've had, but I may also be comparing it to ox-tail pho which isn't a fair. Overall hits the spot. Bun Bo Hue - My wife and I loved this one. The flavors of the bun bo hue were right up our alley. Rich, complex, very tasty with a nice kick to it. We really enjoyed this one and thought it was one of the best ones in our area. I will say that we were missing the pork blood, but I can see how other people might not. Good stuff. BBQ Squid - Honestly, not much to say about this. It was sweet and not overcooked, which is all we really needed. The sauce was good and the squid was grilled well, not rubbery at all. The boys enjoyed it quite a bit. Black Vietnamese Coffee - This might just be a fake part of the review because my wife and I had just been out in the sun for a few hours and desperately needed cold coffee, but we really liked their coffee. It was DARK and rich with very little acidity. It made us happy. Overall, the food is pretty good for the price. I can see how the pho can be polarizing, but the bun bo hue is definitely worth a try. More than that though, the service was amazing and really made us feel at home.Thanks for the great experience!
