We ordered all the best sellers and this may be my favorite tteokbokki spot now. The fried chicken was super juicy and the mochi donuts were super chewy!! Definitely will be back when i'm craving korean fried chicken.
Life is short F......it up! Family, Flavor, Friends In New York again for my food crawl decided to meet up with some friends at this local spot that just opened. Small neighborhood bar serves Korean comfort food. First off wanted to point out the Pelicans lycee beer perfectly brewed and good sweet flavor. You can taste lychee. Hopefully this goes commercial. But if you're in there, definitely worth a try. Now to the food the Korean fried chicken with the sauces, very savory very good and they provided the extra radishes like any traditional fried chicken place. The fried calamari and fried shrimp were very delicately fried very savory very good good dipping sauce. But what was a miss was the rice dishes the Bulgogi and the chicken rice dishes were a miss unfortunately. The decor very modern very cool gives this place. It's own vibe. I can see them being very successful as they're branching out on all different parts of New York creating cool places to hang out.
I'll admit I've been sleeping on pelicana. Ordered delivery one night due to late night craving and even the wings sitting in the bag for 30 minutes were still crispy and well sauced. We decided to dine in yesterday and ordered wings, quesadilla, and rose rice cake. The food was great as it was before, server checked up on us, and food came out fast.
I checked out the place on a late Monday night. Since it was so late, place was not busy and we were seated immediately. Have to say they had lots of items on their menu. Had a hard time picking but eventually chose the chicken Teriyaki. My entree was so yummy! I was glad I was able to take home half of it for lunch the next day. Staff was nice, I would recommend:)
Came here for dinner with grandkids, this serve fried chicken and korean dishes. We ordered French fries, whole fried chicken, 10pcs wings. Sweet potatoes fries. Thr fries was season nicely and crispy, whole chicken was cut in pieces with honey garlic sauce, the sauce is a little sweet side, soy garlic wings could be more spicy, and sweet potatoes fries nice and crispy, be aware they charge for extra dipping sauce.
I was so happy to see they're open again, but I'm really disappointed. I loved how crispy their chicken was, but what I got today wasn't, so I took off two stars.
Ate and brought here to go for dinner after work to share with my mom, dad, sister and cousin. We had ate and brought the Level 2 sweet and spicy crispy fried chicken that it had tasted quite spicy and sweet. The service there was also attentive and great. We couldn't agree more! Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :)
Haven't been here since they reopened but their chicken are as good as I remembered them to be. Didn't get any sauce but got a full chicken for $30 and sauces are extra. The chicken was super juicy and nice but I would definitely recommend getting sauce and some sides. The staffs were also super nice and overall a nice fried chicken place!
Great quality food at its best. Korean style fried chicken, where you WONT find anywhere else besides Flushing, Queens. The service and ambiance were both amazing, all the workers were very kind and generous. Stopped by to Pelicana for the first time this evening after a baseball game and all I have is say is YUM! Started my food adventure by ordering their chicken nachos. Truly blew me away with their great quality of chicken and toppings. Served with a side of guacamole and sour cream, the nachos cheese and fresh pickled jalapeños worked perfectly with their tangy grilled chicken. Cheese whiz worked perfectly with the blend and amazing quality of chips, the nacho chips were honestly perfect. You just keep on going! After devouring the nachos the main reason we stopped by was for their chicken wings! Folks, your mouth will soon be watery. Perfectly fried 10 piece or 20 piece of chicken wings, flavors of your choice and spice level. We ordered the Glazed Honey Wings with a side of Sweet and spicy, level 2 of course and the both complemented each other perfectly with the hot fresh wings with the delicious crunch, yum yum I was in heaven. By the way you have to wear gloves when going down town on these wings! Great quality wings at a reasonable cost. Probably my favorite spot now!
Omg chicken madness!! It is soo good! Eat it while its hot! Location: It is located in Flushing. There is few seatings inside. Service: I ordered to go, but he seem nice when I asked for the free soda! Food: I ordered ORIGINAL FRIED CHICKEN and it was so good! The skin is crispy just the perfect crispiness and the inside is moist! Definitely one of the best fried chicken i have! Price rating: 6/10, it was not bad. Well i went here twice for a week! So I will definitely come back for sure! Chicken was the best!
The food was ok. Cozy and pretty good place to have chicken and beer. Friendly staff and quick.
I love Korean fried chicken so I was excited and looking forward to finally trying out Pelicana. I know it's been around for years and some people prefer it over mad for chicken. I think both are honestly really good. I liked that they offer combo platters on the menu which is what my boyfriend and I ordered. We chose the boneless chicken option with the signature pelicana sauce on the side. It was sweet and spicy and overall so tasty. Chicken was perfectly crispy! It came with fried onion rings, cheese sticks and fries. The epitome of a fried food platter but it was Friday so I figured it was a good treat myself at the end of the week meal. We also ordered the soy garlic wings and they were delicious! The portions are big and definitely shareable. I think the restaurant overall could maybe use a few interior tweaks, but at least the food is great!
Unfortunately, Pelicana is one of my least desired Korean fried chicken spots in Flushing. It's just OK compared to Yetnal Tongdak, Mad For Chicken, The Coop or BB.Q Chicken. There was nothing special or memorable about Pelicana's fried chicken. Taste wise, it seems more bland than the other chicken shops mentioned above.

I took my teenage sons to Pelicana's at 41-23 162nd St, Flushing, NY 11358, and we had a great experience. The onion rings were absolutely " fire",fresh, crispy, flavorful. The chicken sandwiches were delicious and cooked perfectly. The highlight for me was the overall vibe, décor, and outstanding service. The staff worked together as a team to take care of every table, which made us feel well attended to throughout our visit. The restaurant was clean, had a welcoming mix of customers, and several TVs were showing the FIFA match, creating a fun atmosphere. Recommend, will try again The lemonade had a unique blend of flavors and was incredibly refreshing. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we'll definitely be back! If you'd like, I can also make it sound more casual, fun, or optimized for a Google review. read more
Placed a phone order on Saturday (5/23) at 5:30pm for 20 pieces of crispy wings and was told it would be ready in 25 mins. I arrived around 6:05pm, and the order still wasn't ready, which was already a bit frustrating especially on a rainy day. Unfortunately, it got worse when I got home. Out of the 20 pieces, only 3 were actual wings -- the rest were all drumsticks. That's definitely not what I expected and the chicken lacked flavor. Overall, really disappointing experience between the wait time and the incorrect mix. Not sure I'd come back after this. read more

So far, this is one of my top places to get Korean fried chicken in Queens. One of the reasons is because of their white snow cheese flavor. Now it may not be for everyone, but for me, I absolutely love the white cheese flavor; it's honestly the main reason I come back for more! I recommend it on the fries OR chicken wings. Take note that I said OR because I've tried both fries AND chicken wings in 1 order and it was extremely overwhelming. Also do not get it with other sweet sauce flavors because that can become too overwhelming as well (had it with the honey garlic and my taste buds sadly suffered the consequences of double the sweetness flavors). I also recommend getting the sauce on the side because sometimes when the sauce comes on top of the wings, the wings get drenched with the sauce and you will no longer get the crunchy/crispiness of the wings. Atmosphere here is nice and chill with dim lighting and televisions mounted on the walls playing different sports games. Staff members are super friendly and very attentive. Haven't had any bad experiences so far and will continue to come back! read more

My boyfriend and I were looking for a good restaurant in the area for our date night when we stumbled upon Pelicana Chicken. The huge grand opening sign caught our attention, and we decided to try some Korean fried chicken. We ordered 20 wings with two different flavors: the new glazed honey soy and sweet and spicy (level 1). We also got the spicy rice cake soup with ramen and mozzarella cheese. To complement our meal, we both had beers--mine was Japanese beer, and my boyfriend's was a delicious pear beer. The owner greeted us warmly, introduced himself, and even offered us free garlic fries! Everything was absolutely delicious. The wings were crispy and flavorful, the rice cake soup was yummy, and the garlic fries were great too. We ordered a lot of food. I was surprised by all the options. I definitely want to try the other things next time. Overall, Pelicana Chicken exceeded our expectations. The food was excellent, the service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was perfect for a date night. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Korean fried chicken has always been a satisfying experience because of how flavorful and crispy their chicken is. Not only did this place satisfy our cravings but it also was the first time one of my friends to have Korean fried chicken. Truffle fries- Crispy fries drizzled with truffle oil Crispy Spicy Fried Boneless Wings(full) Original Fried Boneless Wings(full) The fries were extremely crispy and did not get soggy at all during the dining experience. Both types of boneless chicken kept their crunch either with sauce on the side or tossed with the sauce. We were all pleased with the experience. Food- 10/10 Cleanliness- 10/10 Staff- 9/10 read more

Place was completely empty when I got there. Don't make the stupid mistake of waiting for a waitress. There's a button on the table to press when you're ready to order/ need service. Ordered a frozen mango margarita - not crazy about the liquor used (for me it tasted "soapy") Food took a while. And it was super empty, literally we were the only two people there. Then a huge group came (maybe the owners, 8 people) and as soon as they sat down they were served instantly with plates & platters while my man and I were still waiting for our simple meal. This is the reason for my 3 stars. Chicken was delicious and juicy though. read more

This was my first time trying Pelicana Chicken, and while it was good, I wasn't absolutely blown away like a lot of other reviewers. I honestly came here after trying to go to MFC and it was completely packed. Order: - Boneless Chicken (Half Pelicana Signature & Half Honey Garlic) (4/5) - Truffle Oil Fries (5/5) Pros: - A lot of food - Tasty ~ I really liked the french fries Cons: - Took a while for our order to come out even though there weren't many people in the restaurant - We order BBQ and Honey Garlic, but somehow ended up getting the Pelicana Signature and Honey Garlic (We didn't complain though because it had already taken a while for our order to come out and we didn't want to wait longer) - I wish the chicken was crispier. There was too much sauce and so it made the chicken lose it's crispiness and become a little soggy Overall: - While Pelicana was good, it isn't my favorite Korean fried chicken place (especially in Flushing) read more

I prefer a Pelican to a Pelican't, but this is a Pelicana, so draw your own conclusions. Here's a pencil and a sketch pad - have fun with that. I always like KFC (but not the chain), and this is one of the better Korean chicken wing places. I liked Pelicana since the first time I tried it, and I've been to several locations all around the country actually. This one was one of my favourites, because it was the first one I went to, many years ago. However, on my most recent trip, I got here at about 12:45 on a night when they close at 2 a.m. and they said that they were no longer serving and that I couldn't even sit in there. After I was turned away, I noticed a gang of Asians showed up and they were seated and they ordered. I was just sitting in the car outside feeling rejected and discriminated against. I guess I kind of got treated like a homeless person, but I certainly wasn't looking like a homeless person. I'm sure if they knew who I was it would have been different, but I don't like to tell people who I am because then I can see how people really get treated. So in conclusion. Definitely a bad experience and that's why I'm taking a couple of star ratings away from them, and hopefully when I take Barbie back here they will be more friendly. Or should I say, if I bring her here. read more

Yum! Crunchy Fried Chicken! Of the two flavors I tried, soy garlic and original, the former was better. Indicative of Korean fried chicken are the great marrying of Asian flavors with a fantastic crunch. There are times when it doesn't work, the crunch isn't crunchy enough, the sauce is too salty, not enough garlic flavor, etc. This isn't one of those instances. The chicken wing meat was definitely moist, had great flavor and not a minute overdone. The original suffered slightly in comparison to the great flavors in the soy garlic. Don't get me wrong, it was still really good fried chicken, it's just the soy garlic sauce was really great. Parking and waiting for the chicken is a big problem. There were anywhere from 3-4 cars double parked outside waiting for their food and it was pretty annoying having to navigate around them on a really busy evening. Ordering ahead is definitely recommended as it takes about 15-40 mins depending on how large your order is. This isn't KFC or Popeyes for sure where the chicken is ready and just needs to be packed. read more

I normally rate when they are really good or bad, and Pelicana has really fresh fried chicken. I love this Pelicana sweet and spicy sauce and these crispy wings are perfect for it. And plus their service is awesome!!! Very friendly. Try with draft beer. Cheers!!!! TGIF read more
