Soy garlic wings
Jason R.

Ok. First the atmosphere is great. You can be loud and laugh without having to worry that you'll offend someone. Ordered truffle oil fries and they were basic. No seasoning on these fries. Next time I'll get the other flavors they offer. Calamari was bland. Lemon helps. Mozzarella sticks were just that. Cheese pull was not on point. Soy garlic wings were very good. Their wings were very good. Service was ok. I'd good back to try other dishes as they have a large menu.

Ate here today with my family for lunch to celebrate my mom's birthday. We had definitely got a side order of fried food dishes and whole fried chicken (Level 2 only) to share and eat that it had tasted really good and delicious. The service there was also attentive and delicious. We couldn't agree more about it. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time.

Bulgogi nachos

I am a huge fan of Pelicana's birthday chicken promotion. A free whole fried chicken on your birthday is an amazing meal to share with friends. I've been to this location twice for a friend's birthday and was glad it wasn't too packed this time around. The service was great and the food was plentiful. We got the fried chicken with two types of sauces, garlic dry rub and a garlic sauce. I enjoyed the sauce version much better as the powder was too strong for my taste. We also tried their bulgogi nachos, which were huge for sharing. We were pleasantly surprised at how good they were. Lastly, we ordered the Korean rice cakes with ramen, which was pretty standard. I hope Pelicana continues to offer this promotion as it is a great marketing technique to get us here every year.

$40 Combo Meal. Fried Chicken plus sides
Michelle F.

We came to Pelicana for our Best Friend's Birthday last November & absolutely loved the place. Conveniently located near multiple other restaurants, Liquor stores, & Karaoke bars! This establishment is BYOB which is also a bonus! My husband & I just returned here on Tuesday, 04/08/25. My husband got the spicy chicken sandwich which he enjoyed very much. Then we shared a combo platter of chicken which came with plenty of sides! The staff was also super friendly & very accommodating! We absolutely love this place & wish there was one closer to where we currently live!

Time to celebrate Valentine's day
Polly H.

The vibe is cute and intimate. Good for a small group of friends, a date spot, and a nice place to grab a drink with food options. So the music when I went in yesterday evening was R&B some throwback's to the 90's, Drake, Rihanna, and Jeremih. Not bad. Back to the meal at hand, I had ordered the Camembert cheese flavored fries, and I loved it. Yes it's messy, but you get towelettes. They were so addictive. When I checked in on Yelp, they offered one order of fries for free. I have to say the service was impeccable, and we had an awesome time. Ok another highlight, I was really enjoying my friend's drink, the dragon fruit one with yogurt in it...which is super sweet and memorably fantastic. I had the white sangria with peach schnapps which was strong and had great flavor. My friend ordered a lemonade, and it was a beautiful deep blue color. I enjoyed our time here. Some of my friends found the soy sauce garlic chicken wings were a bit overdone, but I was so hungry that I hadn't noticed and ate them crazily...they were okay. There was a ton of people at this location in spite of the single digit degree temperature. Maybe Valentine's celebrations? Or maybe that is how good the food was! I would definitely try it again.

Omg chicken madness!! It is soo good! Eat it while its hot! Location: It is located in LIC. 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!

Half Soy garlic/half Spicy Bone-In wings
Vincent F.

Came here for dinner. We ordered the half soy garlic and half spicy wings (20 wings) and Bacon cheese fries (L). Servers were friendly and accommodating. We were really looking forward to ordering the Honey Beer but the server said they couldn't serve alcohol because of restaurant's licensing issue. Food was okay. The wings were not as crispy as other Korean fried chicken places. Flavor was okay. Bacon cheese fries were soggy. Would probably not order again. Overall: I would only come back for the honey beer and maybe give the wings another chance.

My daughter went to your establishment for an anime pop up. She surprised me with a box of your chicken omg! So crunchy and well seasoned!!! Super delicious . I even had the last 2 pieces of chicken for breakfast lol. I am looking g forward to returning to pelicana.

I visited this restaurant during their birthday promotion. On your birthday you get a whole chicken and you can add any sauce to it. I especially liked their chicken with the spicy sauce. I felt that just the chicken was dry. Whole chicken was already filling us, so we only got some fries and budae jiggae only. Budae jiggae was good. We also recieved some free beers to try. They were trying out some new beers so we were asked to review on it.

The set meal
Agelakute ..

I came here Dec 2nd for the Star Rail Collab. It was a terrible event. I came half an hour early but still had to stand outside for 5 hours. For some reason management only had 300 available stands but allowed 800 people to reserve a spot that they didn't even bother checking. This made a LOT of people not get what they wanted even though we specifically came to this one Pelicana spot because they offered the stands here. They're restocking a few supplies everyday for the rest of December but they really couldn't have told us that earlier or even open the business earlier because of how crazy the line was? It would have made the lines so much more efficient. I also forgot to do the Instagram thing to get the badge but that's more on me than anything else. But I really would've appreciated if one of the employees would've said anything. I don't even remember what the food tasted like, I was literally too depressed

Soy garlic & crispy fried chicken
Sylvia B.

Ordered the boneless soy garlic chicken and the crispy fried chicken. Honestly both were disappointing... the soy garlic boneless chicken was kind of hard to chew and the crispy chicken with bones were small and didn't have much meat. Also the fried gizzard were disappointing as well... they were tasteless. And I took a couple bites of the scallion and something tasted funky. I looked it it again and the onion looked slimy...its def old

Avocado Grilled Chicken Salad
Brenda C.

The one thing Sunnyside is lacking is a place to get a really good salad....well fellow salad addicts look no further than Pelicana Chicken. I have been addicted to their salads for several years, I normally order the shrimp salad but today I ordered the grilled chicken and avocado. The portion size is great, I especially love how the chef thinly slices the green n red peppers (I loathe thick chunks of these items and my onions also). The chicken was perfectly spiced and not overcooked and in fact juicy. The biggest compliment is the avocado not many people know how to pick a perfectly ripe avocado but Pelicana never lets me down. Dressing is always nicely taped in its tiny container on top of the plastic salad bowl so now worries about it dripping all over the place. Staff is always friendly and helpful and will answers any questions you have about any items on the menu. Feel free to order thru seemless for pickup or delivery (they often allow you a discount if you order during certain hours). You can't go wrong with this rs

It's the kind of dark hole where a man can sit and let the hours bleed out without anyone asking too many questions. ​Her guido friend is sitting across from me.

He likes me, I like him because we speak the same language, the language of men who have taken a few hits and know how to hit back. I'm the tall classy type, hes the short booming vouce you hear from miles away. He's drinking bourbon, cheap heat to burn out the cobwebs. I've got rye in my shot glass, sharp and bitey. To wash it all down, a pair of Narragansetts sitting on the scarred wood like two cold anchors. ​She's sitting there sipping some fancy "Sweater Weather Sangria" out of a stemless glass, sweet and red, watching the candlelight flicker off the condensation, listeningto our conversation. ​Over in the corner, there's a wall built entirely out of wine bottles, rows upon rows stacked in the shadows behind glass like a monument to every drunk who ever lived. Someone mentioned absinthe, or maybe it was just the gloom making things warp at the edges, the kind of green-tinted haze that brings the hallucinations on if you stay too long. But we aren't leaving yet. We throw back the shots, take a pull of the beer, and let the room buzz around us. It's a good night. A rare one.

It's a pretty nice sports bar with large TV screens throughout the place so will definitely be on my list of places to hit up to watch a few games! Overall food and service was on point, but also it was a random weeknight where there wasn't a crowd. Either way, recommend this bar if you're looking to grab a bite or watch a game! Classic Waygu Burger - 4/5 Great tasting and juicy burger, but one thing I wish was included was a side of fries at bare minimum. Cook of the meat was on point Disco Fries - 5/5 - Think of it as poutine but with mozzarella instead. Great side dish to a burger

What to make of this place?…read more When we visited in September (at that time), a wanna-be sports bar had just taken over the Greek taverna Blue Sea Taverna (before that, two iterations of Akrotiri). Both Greek tavernas had failed or gone out of business. So we were curious to see what changes had been made. When we entered, we were initially confused because the seating, especially the lounge seating, did not create a sports bar vibe. Even adding a bunch of TVs did not give us that feel either. Instead, our initial impression was that they were trying to convert an old Greek taverna into a gastropub, similar to other well-known ones in the area. And I should also add we had not been following the local news about the controversy regarding their name association with a World War II fortified bunker that was blown up at the end of the Second World War, and only read about the controversy over their name after we left, and on social media. Apparently, the owner(s) were most likely unaware of its historical context when naming their establishment. So we did not factor that into this review. Upon entering the Wolf's Lair, the seating was that of a modified Mediterranean restaurant. We chose the comfy seating looking out towards 29th Street and 30th Avenue. It had been raining heavily, and so we were just glad to be inside. Because our initial impression was that we were in a Mediterranean gastropub, we ordered lamb chops with lemon potatoes. The waiter, who may have been one of the owners, informed us that this vegetable was not on the menu; however, when our chops arrived, as you can see from the photos, we were indeed served lemon potatoes. We got what we ordered, which made us happy, and the chops were cooked to perfection. As we usually do not drink alcohol, beverages were not factored into our review. However, there was one thing we found a little strange and creepy. When we left, one of the employees, presumably an owner, insisted on coming out to help take photos. This was a little off-putting. Nevertheless, we got some good shots. In writing this review, we spent a lot of time deliberating our experience at the Wolf's Lair. We focused on the restaurant, service, food quality, and atmosphere. While the overall experience was excellent, we did not find Wolf's Lair to have a sports-bar atmosphere, but rather a family-dining atmosphere. On the day we visited, there was hardly any action at the bar, and most of us seated were into the food, if nothing else, with one family having a birthday party for one of their children. Overall, we had a good experience. Whether we come back to see if the Wolf's Lair becomes an actual sports bar, well, that's another matter.

The place is LOUD albeit with good taste of retro, 90's music and not the modern trash that floods the radio waves so I can rock with that. Place is sized pretty well with an outside seating area and plenty of tables inside the albeit dimly lit bar/restaurant. Coming into the place I was greeted by a blonde woman who seemed to be a supervisor of the area. She directed me to a comfortable seating area and a server took my order afterwards. The place was relatively busy so the wait for my food was kind of in the long range, about maybe 15 minutes. I ordered Chicken & Waffles with Iced Tea and the food was definitely worth the wait. That chicken was so good, a bit on the crisp side but it's solid in taste. The Waffle had such an awesome texture with the right measure of powdered sugar, decorated with Blueberries and Strawberries, the entrée was plated very well. The Iced Tea, I didn't know it was unsweetened so that threw me off but some sugar kinda fixed that. Service was also 'A' Tier. The place was busy so it was a tad on the slow side but they were very attentive. About 3 different servers tended to me whether it was about my order, how I liked it and paying for the bill when I was finished. That's dedication and I always give props to that. I enjoyed my visit here.
