    A summary of our experience at Pelicana located at 149-44 14th Ave, Whitestone, NY 11357
    Alex P.

    If you are in the mood for good Korean fusion meal, check out Pelicana on 14th ave in Whitestone, NY. We randomly came across this place with family & friends. This cozy spot features several tables and a bar, with some eye catching artwork on the walls, and a laid back vibe. The service was friendly, and the food was fresh and flavorful. Our groups favorites were the spicy pork, shrimp meals, and chicken sandwiches. Two of us had an alcoholic drink which were good too. Recommend, and we will definitely be going back.

    Spicy soy bone in wings, corn salad, pickled radishes, spicy slaw, and kimchi.

    Excellent service! The best wings I've ever had! The corn salad was incredible, and the pickled radishes were delicious. Highly recommend. Great selection of beers, and the best seat is at the bar for any sort of viewing of games.

    Great addition to the Whitestone neighborhood. The atmosphere is energetic with a diverse crowd. There's a bar on the left when you walk in with large TVs above to watch sports or other things. On the right, are tables and chairs for dining. In the back, there's a counter selling bubble tea. The restaurant just opened. The staff is getting up to speed. But I found everyone to be very attentive and friendly. The menu has a lot of options. The food was very good. You can't go wrong with the signature crispy soy garlic chicken wings.

They are consistently coming around to check on us and give us any refills whether on the kimchi or our waters. They are also really fast and wait time was minimal for both our table and the food. The place is cozy and looks well-structured. I also love that every table comes equipped with condiments and utensils you may need, as well as a call button for staff to come around your table. Hearing the 'ding' is always really nice. The actual food itself truly tastes like home. Everything is so comforting and you can never get sick of food like this. The portions are also huge so bring an empty stomach or a big group. We always manage to have leftovers whenever we come here. I absolutely love the pajuns, and always find myself gravitating towards the seafood pancakes, and they do not skimp out on the seafood either. The mandus are extremely filling, and the meat inside is nice and juicy. The noodles itself are honestly so refreshing and hits the spot every time. I've heard people debate on whether kalguksu or sujebi was better, but this place makes it hard to decide every time-they're both just so good. I honestly highly recommend this spot whether you're going with friends, family, or even on a date. Just remember to bring your appetite and don't make the mistake I made in the beginning, going on a Sunday, they're usually closed.

It definitely lived up to our memories, we ended up coming back twice in one week! Between our visits, we ordered the Dweji-Gomtang with extra pork, the Layoo Dweji-Gomtang with extra pork (spicy version), Kimchi Mandoo, Gabrisal Soyuk (pork collar meat), and the So-Bbol Gomtang (beef cheek, brisket, and tripe). Everything was delicious, but the standout for us was the pork collar meat. It was incredibly tender, flavorful, and an absolute must-order. The portions are just the right size, and the restaurant has a fast-casual feel, making it perfect for a quick meal without sacrificing quality. Our kids especially loved the original Dweji-Gomtang. After trying both versions, I personally prefer the original pork soup over the spicy Layoo version, although both were excellent. The complimentary kimchi deserves a special mention - it was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect accompaniment to the soups. The Kimchi Mandoo also had a nice spicy kick while still being packed with flavor. We noticed a lot of the guests were ordering the Lard Donkatsu, so that's definitely on our list for our next visit. Safe to say we'll be back again and again!

Even though they open at 11:30am, we were able to still be seated 10min beforehand. I guess they finished prepping early and were already ready for service. Within 30min of opening, people slowly trickled in. But even when we left, there was no line. So I would recommend to just go first thing in the morning. We ordered the kimchi mandoo, Dweji-gomtang (large), and the lard donkatsu. The kimchi mandoo was too spicy for me, but that's bcus I have a low tolerance for spice. My bf enjoyed it though, the skin was nice and thin. I really liked the Dweji-gomtang, it was so simple yet so comforting and it came with a lot of thin slices of meat. The donkatsu was good, but I thought the pork was a tad dry.

We were a group of 6 and came to Daori for some Korean BBQ. They're located on a residential street but next to several other stores and restaurant. We were surprised to see that they had TV's which was great since the World Cup final was playing. We are told the Iberico pork was the star here. We ordered several other dishes as well. The pork was indeed very good. My only comment was that the waitress seemed very stressed and frazzled. She was stressing about cooking the food and some of it was getting overcooked but also our banchan didn't get refilled because of it. Their English is also not great so there were times when we had a tough time communicating. I would say overall the food was good and we had a good time. It was also very reasonably priced. After tips, it was only $64 per person. We'll definitely come again.
