=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE It's not better or worse - just…read moredifferent than Popeye's down the road - the flavour profile is different. Popeye's offers two flavours (spicy and not), the option of breast meat, and meat that is marinated/saltier. Pelicana offers nine flavours, bone-in or not, only dark meat, and thinner batter - chicken lovers win with all of the choices between the two restaurants! === 2. FOOD You're coming here for the chicken: - Boneless is better value, as each piece is smaller, but fills up the box better (so you get more meat per box). - Bone-in offers mainly drumsticks, with some thighs (cut in half maybe?)... the bone-in box we got only had three drumsticks and a mixture of broken/cut thighs and boneless pieces. Korean soy sauce, and the sweet signature sauces are nice; you can order the chicken with the sauce on the side (for dipping) which makes it much more palatable for those sensitive to salt. In fact, we prefer to order it this way anyway, because the fried chicken by itself without the sauce is pretty good too :) The boxes of chicken start at "medium" - which is supposed to be 8 pieces but consistently more than that, bring it to be a much better value than Popeyes. The drumsticks here beat Popeyes, but Popeyes has larger thigh pieces. === 3. SERVICE They claim that unlike Popeyes, they only make the chicken when you order it, so I recommend calling ahead of time, or be available to wait about 10-15 minutes. The staff have been professional every time, and seem to speak English and Korean. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's small and a little drab, so we've only done takeout. Actually, I can't recall any time in which I saw a dine-in customer; they would be limited regardless, as there are really only a few tables, catering only to groups of 2 or 4. Wheelchairs and baby strollers can fit with ease. The only challenge may be parking - it ebbs and flows in the shopping complex lot, but it's often busy at lunch time and when the college and university and schools let out!

Popped up this restaurant that has been around for 6 months in the Surrey- White Rock area!…read more Their wings were quite good! I love the crunch and texture they have. We ordered a 15 wing combo and got a mix of dry and wet sauced wings. They have a variety of flavors to choose from, even some that are extremely spicy!! It's in the same style as a fast food restaurant. You order at the till and they call you to pick up your order from the front. The owner was very pleasant and as soon as we walked in, he gave us an introduction to his resto and helped us with some recommendations. I did find the wings to be a bit on the pricey side- but that's the inflation for you. But I would definitely come back to give them another go!

I'll start with the service was great very friendly. The wings were very thickly breaded wish I…read moreknew that before I ordered, the sauce was good, the blue cheese was sour probably from a bottle. The soda mix is also way off, far too much soda water to syrup, didn't appear to be low on syrup but maybe. Overall I don't think this is a spot for me, but again two stars for very friendly service.

It's a small place consisting of maybe 10 tables or less. They had small vases of real flowers on their tables and displayed throughout which is a really nice touch. My friend ordered a single patty burger and fries with a drink. Sadly they ran out of chicken wings which was what I wanted so I ordered nothing. I did take a bite out of the burger and shared the fries and drink tho. The fries were on point! Not too thick, not too thin. Really crispy outside and yet still soft and warm inside and they gave us a good portion of fries too. Thanks for that! I do hope if I happened to be in the area next time they have more chicken wings. Until next time...

Whew, chile--when I asked a local for food recommendations in Victoria, they told me about Murder…read moreBurger, so I bookmarked it right away. The next day, before heading to Butchart Gardens, I stopped in. The spot is just behind the Parliament building in a bright yellow house with indoor and outdoor seating. The menu was short and to the point. I ordered the double smash burger with onions and all the trimmings, plus a canned soda. Took it to go and ate it on the shuttle ride. That burger... the best smash burger I've ever had. Flavorful, seasoned well, not too heavy--just perfect. The fries were good and well-seasoned too, but way too much food for me. Next time I'd skip the fries and stick to the burger. I've been bragging about this burger ever since. Highly recommend!

French fries were cold and there was no seasoning. Took longer to get my food than what I was originally estimated which makes me wonder if that contributed to the food being cold. The host was nice and went to check to see if was done since they apparently sometimes let food sit instead of brining it out.

It was music bingo night, and the pub was packed and a fun atmosphere. The locals really get into it by singing along to the songs, and doing a "call and response" with the DJ (DJ: "Next song is under the letter "O"... audience: "Ohhhh-ohhh!")! The banter made for a great time. Beer selection was excellent, and very reasonable prices ($5 for house lager). Servers were efficient behind the bar. Didn't have any food but judging from photos and past reviews, the burgers look great and would love to try next time. Anyway, it's a local neighbourhood pub on a golf course and seems to be popular, especially for music bingo. Recommened if you're looking for a cozy watering hole and mixing with the locals.
