My fourth time here and I always forget how much food they give you!! This chicken is soooo yummy! We tried some diff things today: Fried shrimp, onion rings and the mochi donuts! All good. Onion rings could use a little salt and pepper but we just fine dipped in the dumpling sauce! Service is always good and fast! They are so nice! You have TVs on to watch stuff and some nice Korean music playing. I highly recommend! read more

First time trying Pelicana and it didn't disappoint! I ordered Combo A which includes whole chicken with bone-in with small fries and cheese balls for $40, which isn't bad. I picked Crispy for the batter and Glazed Honey Soy for the sauce, it was great. The cheese balls were mochi with cheese inside, it wasn't what I was expecting but it wasn't bad. Service was good with ambiance being quiet since I came at 10pm. I would definitely come back! read more

The place is clean and comfortable. However food seems to be very expensive. A sandwich with fries and a can of soda is $13 before tax and tip. The bottom of the bread was so soggy that it fell apart. Chicken's breading also got soggy and fell off. read more

WINNER WINNER KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN LUNCH | as Korean fried chicken spots pop up endlessly around metro Atlanta, we really enjoyed our weekday lunch at Pelicana in Duluth. Located in the same plaza as the Duluth H-Mart, it was an easily accessible location before or after a grocery trip in Duluth. We noticed they had some nice KFC lunch specials so we ventured inside. We were lured in by the daily lunch special (available 11:30-2:30pm) which is a half fried chicken with corn salad for $12. We tried the crispy spicy and it was a hit - not TOO spicy and a perfect balance of crispy & saucy. My eyes also strayed from the lunch special to the chicken parmesan on the regular "new" menu - I'm always a sucker for chicken parm and if they can fry chicken parm the way they do their Korean fried chicken... all in all, it was just ok. I did love how cheesy and saucy it was, and it was a HUGE portion for $15. I appreciate that the menu isn't just all Korean fried chicken - so definitely recommend Pelicana if you're craving Korean fried chicken but would also want to try other non KFC items as well! read more

I love eating Korean fried chicken, so my brother in-law brought is to Pelicana for dinner. The restaurant's food did not disappoint, and their service was SO amazing! We started with french fries in truffle sauce just because we were hungry just looking at the menu. We ordered a plate of Bulgolgi fried rice, which had lots of bulgolgi meat on top of a heaping pile of fried rice. It also comes with a small side salad, and the dressing was delicious. It was a refreshing creamy dressing that didn't overpower the vegetables. For our entree, we ordered Half fried chicken in Honey Garlic sauce. The half serving is literally half of a chicken: a piece of chicken breast, a drum, one wing and thigh piece. I ordered extra pickled radish, which they give a good extra side portion since you're paying extra for it. The chicken is crunchy but not over done or hard. The flavor is outrageous. I loved the food at Pelicana. They're open late, so it's a great option for a late night snack. Definitely recommend! read more

I was craving some late night Korean fried chicken and luckily this place closed at midnight. The honey garlic chicken and Alfredo pasta were decent, paired with some Kloud and Terra. I think I was looking for a kick in the fried chicken or more of a crunch but not too bad! I'd probably come back to try different items on the menu. Fair pricing for kfc. Not that many people were there, so it wasn't too loud. There's plenty of parking at the plaza and the Korean ladies working at the time were sweet. Overall, I'd give it a 3.5 or 4/5 read more

Pelicana Chicken - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Food was delicious and server was really friendly. I'd probably go to this korean chicken spot over the others I've tried in the area. Fried Chicken: I got the whole chicken with crispy batter and half honey garlic half sweet and spicy. The chicken took about 20 minutes to come out and was piping hot and juicy. The honey garlic tasted sweet and really buttery. The sweet and spicy was my favorite and the level 2 wasn't too bad. Less spicy than carbonara buldak. Next time, I'm gonna try the level 3. Love that they give you 3 sides. Really cuts through the grease. Mochi Cheese Balls: These were unlike any other cheese appetizer I've ever tried. It was like a cheese stuffed mochi donut. It came with 5 balls and the $10 price was a bit much, but the cheese pulls and texture were really satisfying. These took about 10 minutes to come out. I forgot to get a picture, but they also have other appetizers, pasta, and drinks on the other side of the menu. The water was also good as someone who thinks some water tastes nasty. read more

The food is excellent. We ordered the cheese balls, the dumplings and the plain fried chicken and everything was perfect. The waitress was also very nice. Ambience was good. We went there a non busy hours so we were the only ones over there. Nothing to say but good things. I highly recommend this place! I'll be back for sure! read more

Yes! I am a fan!!! Korean chicken fried chicken reminds me of my mommy's home cooked fried chicken in a castor iron pan, cooked to crispy perfection!!! We decided to grab a bite to eat on the late night tip and this places is actually open pretty late for the area, so we ended up dining in. We were greeted at the door right away and basically told to seat ourselves where we wanted to sit. The server/cashier was very polite and knew a lot about the menu as-well as popular items ......so he made a few suggestions. We ended up ordering the honey garlic wings, and trust me, they did not disappoint.....they actually hit pretty hard! The wings came with a side item so we went ahead and ordered the sweet potato fries which instantly became another favorite! We also ordered the garden salad to balance everything out, I wasn't a fan of the balsamic vinaigrette that was served with the garden salad but, again everything was a hit at this place. -Price point was great -Good Parking -Friendly service -Clean cute restaurant -Hefty portions -Beer on tap -Good for groups BTW: they also have beer, we ordered a blue moon to chase everything down. My guy can't wait for another cheat day-lol.... We already know where we are going! LOL read more

My cheat day meal was at Pelicana Chicken and it was so worth it! Came here with a friend and the restaurant is very calming. There is an order system in place where the servers come once you click the button. There is an option to make your chicken crispy and/ spicy. I ordered the honey garlic crispy wings and they were delicious. The batter has the perfect crunch and it was bursting with flavor. My friend and I came during lunch, but our meal did not receive the lunch special. Not sure why. Overall, I'll be back to try a new flavor wing. They are open late at night if you have a midnight craving! read more

Pelicana Chicken - Honey Garlic Crispy Wings - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

This is our go-to whenever the craving for KFC strikes. The chicken always comes out SUPER crispy, veryveryvery juicy, and just an explosion of flavor and lovely textures. I just can't find any other place that does chicken like this. We've gone to other KFC joint, and that crispy to juicy ratio is just not like how they do it here. We typically get half original for the kiddo. Then we go back and forth between sweet and spicy or the honey garlic sauce. Next all time fave is their Camembert cheese fries. Their sides (shredded cabbage, some kind of slaw, and fresh radish) are nothing life changing but it pairs so well with the chicken. My least fave would be their white rice - it's quite dry and seems to be the cheaper kind. But oh well, we didn't come here for the rice. All in all, we highly recommend. It still takes a bit of time to get your food, but that's because they make everything fresh - and you can tell! read more

I was sad to see two Yummy Place Chicken locations closed down recently. I'm still trying to find a favorite KFC spot in Gwinnett. I know I still need to try Choong Man and Thank U Chicken. So far, my love's favorite spot is Bb.q Olive Chicken (Duluth and Doraville locations). I like them too, but I also enjoy Pelicana, which we've tried twice now. The first time we ordered from here, we got the soy garlic chicken, which is generally how we are used to eating KFC from Maui back home. I believe we also ordered the cheese sticks, calamari, and truffle fries. All were good takeout items from what I recall. This was several months back on a late night takeout order. I think that's my favorite thing about Pelicana is that they stay open till midnight usually and will accept your phone order late, as opposed to Bb.q Olive Chicken, which closes about 9 nightly. Thursday night, it was late, and we had a lot going on at home, so I decided to try to order Uber Eats from here with a discount I had. I got us the spicy half soy garlic chicken (all breast meat) and garden salad with extra ranch for chicken dipping (all to be plated up with rice at home). Everything arrived on time and accurately, packaged well. The chicken was way too spicy for my husband. He didn't seem to enjoy it as the spice detracted from the flavor for him. I personally liked it, just dipping in ranch and mayo on the side seemed to help cut the heat for me and with the rice and salad on the side. The garden salad itself was good with lots of shredded veggies like carrots, cherry tomatoes, red onion, etc., and topped with parmesan. Overall, it was a filling, tasty meal, and I'd take KFC from here over ordering from KFC any day lol. We'll definitely order from here again, although, I'll remember to get mild for my hubby next time. read more

This is the 2nd time we were terribly disappointed with the stinginess of the White Cheese Powder seasoning from the Duluth location. The Duluth location barely gives you a single tiny dash of cheese and charges you $2 extra. They season your chicken as if the cheese is made of gold or something? We NEVER had this issue at the ATL Midtown location. See the pic, the chicken is NAKED. Duluth location also nickels and dimes you for the crispy or spicy batter too. Midtown doesn't charge $2 extra for crispy spicy... $20 fried combo was mediocre at best. There was a surprising amount of calamari but the cheese balls are not good. The sweet potato fries were not it either. I'd suggest just sticking with the chicken. read more

Stubbled across Pelican Chicken when I took a wrong turn too early off Pleasant Hill. Lucky me! Great find and I think now my favorite wings in Gwinnett County. Amazing crunch and flavor. How did the Koreans get so darn awesome at frying chicken? Also, there French fries were out of this world. When you make a wrong turn, go with it... it might just be God opening your eyes. You've got to try these wings. read more

Loved their juicy Korean fried chicken !!! I came here for lunch and you get plentiful food for lunch. I ordered a boneless chicken thigh with fries and drink and it was $14 and a really nice sized portion. The chicken came out hot and so juicy. Tons of flavor and it didn't take long. Lots of seating and service is very friendly read more

We got a takeout order in a late Wednesday night. We had issues with the third party service for ordering our food, so this review will be based entirely on the food! The crispy sandwich was the winner here for me! The honey garlic sauce was very garlicky with a small kick to it! The chicken was juicy and the toppings inside were crunchy. The fries and the soy garlic wings were pretty good. I wish the fries had a bit more seasoning to them, and I wish the soy garlic wings had more sauce them. Overall, pretty decent spot but would try it in restaurants next time to really taste what it's like fresh! read more

Super impressed with the food, service, and also catch up company. :) I had the lunch special that's served everyday from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM. The price was great at $10. Seriously, you get a drink, small side of fries, and a rather large chicken sandwich. You cannot beat this deal, especially in these inflation driven times. I chose the white garlic as the sauce, and it was pretty flavorful. The chicken had a unique breading with a rather tender chicken breast. The sandwich had great portions and was very tasty. The drink was simply a can of soda. The fries were pretty good with its slight crunch. It sort of reminded me of Checkers' or Popeyes' fries, slightly. Pelicana Chicken is in the shopping complex with Hmart. It is on the left-hand side if you're facing the grocery store. read more

This place has the best Korean spicy/sweet sauce for Korean fried chicken. I think for me the level 2 sauce is the best. It's little spicy without being too spicy. They do forget to include the cabbage salad on the side when ordering delivery occasionally though. read more

This is a pretty typical Korean chicken joint. The menu covers just what you'd expect - a few flavors of sauces to toss the chicken. I can't speak too much to the service because it simply is typical for the area - restaurants around here have kind staff that are pretty accommodating. For the most part, they assume you understand the rules of the game when it comes to eating at a Korean restaurant. Ask for gloves for your chicken if you want and don't just expect them. Review the menu, but understand how you are ordering your chicken based on the breakdown it gives rather than getting clarification from the servers. They are careful to warn you about spice levels; they just don't make as many recommendations as American restaurants usually might. Come hungry because the best way to order is by getting the half-and-half so you get two different flavors. The soy garlic is a good pairing for any spicy option. Pitchers of beer are a hit, and this location also serves raspberry wine which is an added bonus for us wheat-water-haters out here. This spot is comparable to bb.q Chicken - though the radishes here are better! - and a few others (which I think are not at their highest points right now, so I won't mention them), but I find it more intimate. The menu doesn't get as extensive, but it also doesn't need to do that. I appreciate how much space is at the table even for a party of two, and because of the small setting, it is easy to get help when you want it. read more

This is my favorite chicken spot! Been to Atlanta four times and this is my must go chicken spot. The chicken is flavorful and so tender.The service is great, and always willing to help you find an option that suits your party needs. The chicken hits the spot and a good portion for the price. The restaurant gives you a relax vibe. If you need service there is a button on the table to notify the hostess/ server. A water jug is given to your table with cups, so it nice touch don't have to keep asking for water. I really like this place! I will always highly recommend this restaurant location. read more

On unknowingly national fried chicken day, we came here since well, I was craving for some fried chicken. Knowing that our favorite KFC spot closed we were back on the search for a new KFC spot. We landed here, Pelicana Chicken. It was pretty empty when we got there, but there were plenty of takeouts. As far as what we got, we got half and half one half was the original fried chicken and the other half we got garlic. Foodwise, I liked the original fried chicken, but we got it extra crispy and damn it was super crispy. The garlic was alright, but I would have to say that I enjoyed the original over the two because the sauce I think was just okay, there was good garlic flavor but meh nothing special. Service was awesome though and I have to say it was pretty quick as far as the chicken coming out. I can definitely see me coming back here for some KFC, but next time I think I'll just stick to the extra fried/crispy OG chicken. read more

I've been to different locations of this chain in New Jersey and Flushing. Gotta love the consistency of the quality of their food. That's why whenever I see there is a Peli nearby and I'm craving fried chicken, I always make a stop. This location's menu is more diverse than most, as they have some sandwiches, pasta, and healthy items to help balance your fried chicken feast. The salads are fresh. You can choose from dark or white meat boneless, whole chicken, or bone-in. Different breading options to choose from also. The portion sizes are huge, so for two people, I recommend ordering a half and half sauce split. There are so many different types of drinks and beer to choose from, so take a look at the case when you enter. You can always order more later if you are still hungry. My favorite items here are: 1. Soy garlic boneless crispy chicken thigh 2. Powder covered cheese fries 3. Powder cheese covered boneless crispy chicken thigh 4. Cheese sticks Yep, it's all the fried stuff, but oh so tasty! The location couldn't be more convenient as a restaurant storefront in the OG Hmart plaza on Pleasant Hill Road. Not inside the Hmart, but a restaurant storefront on the 1st floor near the Hanbok shop. read more

Dropped by after a hair appointment around 2PM on Saturday. I've heard a lot of good things about Pelicana so I was excited to come by. There's only a few tables but I was able to get seated. They have a lunch special every day (including weekends) from around 11:30AM -2:30PM. There's a few things you can pick from but I got the half chicken + fries + drink. I chose the Soy Garlic (with bones). Honestly I was a bit disappointed. The chicken wasn't very crispy. The soy garlic wasn't saucy glaze like most places. I didn't taste much garlic and they just seemed to drizzle some soy sauce or something on top, which just ended up pooling at the bottom of the basket. I just didn't get much flavor at all. The fries were nice though - some light parmesan and thick and crispy. The lunch special is a pretty decent deal at only $14. Definitely a good amount of food for one person. Service was great. They were very nice and friendly. It's like other Korean places where you use the bell on your table to ask for help. Honestly not sure if I would come back. The fried chicken was pretty far below the standards of the other Korean fried chicken places. read more

Pelicana Chicken - Soy Garlic Half Chicken with Fries - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Great food! Great atmosphere and competitive pricing. Great service as well. Great drinks!

So I absolutely love Korean fried chicken. I have been to probably a dozen KFC joints around Atlanta. Pelicana is BY FAR the best of the bunch. For starters, the staff is super friendly and accommodating. They actually recognize repeat customers and are always helpful with ordering and during the meal. Like many Korean places, they use the table button for service which is always nice, and they answer quickly. Second, they are the only place that allows you to specify only chicken breast. I've been to so many KFC places where my meal is ruined by disgusting fatty thigh meat where I have to keep spitting our giant disgusting globs of fat. Not here! When I order the boneless breast only, I get only tender white meat that is delicious and edible. The soy garlic boneless breast is the best KFC in the city by far, especially when paired with one of their fabulous sauces (creamy onion!!). 10/10! Love them! read more

First off, the staff is so friendly and attentive! Menu has a lot more option thanks just chicken. Portions are generous and extra points for complimentary refills on sides (unlike other Korean fried chicken places). You're able to choose the type of batter - I found the crispy batter too hard to bite into, the original was the perfect crispy. There are also 3 levels of spicy - I personally found level 2 to be mild, good for those who can't do spice but still want a slight kick. The plain fried chicken, sweet&spicy, and honey garlic were very good. The sauces are a bit watery but still full of flavor. The fried combo came with a lot of variety and was a great side to share with a group. read more

This is a small calm place to sit at end enjoy some Korean fried chicken. I got the fried shrimp, cheese balls, sweet potato fries and the sweet and spicy chicken level 1. It wasn't too spicy but had a good amount if you just want slight spice present. The flavor was really good and the chicken was very crispy even with the sauce on it so I thoroughly enjoyed that. The cheese balls were also good and not like any battered cheese dish that I tried before. The dough had a bit of sweetness to it. My boyfriend got the original crispy spicy. It was good as far as crisp goes and cook but could've been better as far as actual flavor. In all I'd return. The waitresses also pretty nice. My rating is a 3.8. read more

This is one of my go to spots for Korean fried chicken. The portions are large and the I like the sauce options. All this food was shared between 5 people with leftovers to take home. The honey garlic sauce was a little on the sweeter side for me, but that was to be expected. I liked the level 2 sweet and spicy, it had a nice kick to it and helped balance the sweetness. I also liked the plain fried chicken and it retained its crisp throughout the entirety of the meal. I have, and will be coming back to this place in the future. read more
