Owner hasn't updated hours on google. Drove all the way down to the restaurant, arrived at 9:20, was told they were closed with 9:30 closing posted on the door. Google biz page says 10pm.

If you order pick up trough google or doordash, its more expensive than throigh their website or call. I know its 3rd party but there is no any efforts to let customer know for better option while processing the order.

I tried three times recently with the same menu which was the crispy fried chicken with the signature source. The first two times were really awesome as the chicken was small and young like the original Korean fried chicken so it tasted really good. However, the last time it was like a large size and old aged chicken like other restaurants and it was too heavy to me. I hope it's consistent.

It was a to go order and the place was pretty empty. We had to wait unnecessarily long, because they didn’t call out our name or send us a text. We were waiting AT THE restaurant to pick up our food as well. I would not go there ever again due to terrible service.

It was mediocre fried chicken. It wasn’t crispy at all just doused in sauce which wasn’t even that great.

Wow ive never had korean chicken . It did take a little while to get the to go order about 30 min but so worth it. The chicken has lots of flavor super moist great crunch. I was worried it may be spicy nope its perfect. Cheese balls also great crips outside super soft inside slightly

It's mid and average korean fried chicken, ESPECIALLY for that price.The fries were okay and the cheese balls which were cheese sticks were cold. No stringiness too. The chicken was alright and all there sauces tasted the same. I tried the garlic, house, and chili. It's like slight variations. It didn't come with dipping sauce like the photos too.It's surprisingly crowded and you can put your name on a waitlist which they never bothered calling us back. It takes a while for the food to come out. There's plazas in the area you can for desert though.

My family's go-to chicken place. I find other Korean fried chicken place's sauces are too spicy and often causing stomachache (e.g., Bonchon), but Pelicana causes no issues and tastes just great. It actually tastes much better than Korean original. 5 stars!
Overpriced for the wings, and too much source.Tried twice, one time the service is also just so-so, no smile; 2nd time the service is good. Seems depends.

Came in for the Honkai Star Rail collab meal. Lady running the front was extremely kind and helpful, food was also delicious. I ordered the meal with the Soy sauce. I recommend whatever the cheese balls were, I’d come back just for that.

I was hopeful for this spot but the fries and fried chicken (variety of flavors) didn’t hit the spot. Service, atmosphere, and location was fine but I don’t think I’d go back.

I always start at 5 starts then go down.A group of 7 of came in to dine in after yoga. You can come to the counter and order at the kiosk to go or to have food dropped to your table.We sat down and got "served" at our table. A bit confusing but you can indeed get table service.My first deduction comes from the massive amount of food our server let us order. We all did half orders of various flavors of chicken, rice, and some apps/sides.When our food started dropping - it was very clear from the two orders that dropped first that we had WAY too much food.Now - of course we can take it home but we all live in different places, but this was not a take out order where the server didn't know how many people were eating. But with a group of 7 (perhaps 4 or more not sure) there is an auto gratuity, and perhaps the bigger the bill the better for her, our server. As a former server, I would have let the table know "maybe don't get these 3-4 orders, but when it drops we can always order more if you need"She let us order probably 2.5x the amount we could eat it was kind of insane.The next issue I had was mostly the garlic chicken. We got half boneless order and half bone in order.Volume of food aside, the wings are CAKED in these sauces. I felt like I was squeezing whatever sauce they used straight into my mouth.Now maybe you like that - but many of us were scraping off the sauces before biting into the wings.I worked at Horse and Cow on Guam and Bremerton am decently aware of how most wings Are tossed and prepped.The garlic (and spicy) were just too potent and thick a sauce to be done so.The soy was the best, as the sauce isn't as thick to linger onThe original/no sauce was also good.For the spicy or garlic, perhaps req sauce on the side vs tossed. Might be cheaper to do regular chicken, and sides of sauces to also try them all if you have less people.I love spicy food, but only one friend could really enjoy the spice level of their spicy. Another thing I wish the server mentioned. Most of that was wastes, or the plan was to strip the chicken of the sauce then toaster oven the massive amount of leftovers.This is a nice location and my room mates enjoy going to Ippudo in the area but the experience you get from the businesses in the area don't really match the vibe you get when hanging out outside.The businesses are just - order, drop food, pay check. No real personality from the employees or management - which is fine but a bit unfortunate.The space felt clean and the tv was just a constant b roll of baking videos. Idk if there is any real atmosphere or personality in this business lol.For what it was - I give it a 3/5. A 5/5 would have been if the server guided us in the food volume, explained how spicy that spice level was, and if the garlic and spicy chicken were properly tossed in sauce and not doused in sauce.I didn't expect the server to have amazing service because the business suffers from an identity crisis of - is this fast food or is this sit down service? So that part of my experience is neutral. Food took forever to drop. But refills were done timely enough for me not to die - which is always nice.Hope this helps your experience.

Another popular Korean fried chicken chain in the bay area! This place has been at Main Street for a while now. Came here on a weekday night with a friend. Parking at Main Street has never been an issue for me; it's just the matter of parking closer to the restaurants or further away at the parking structures. The restaurant is pretty small so coming here with a big group would not be ideal. We ordered at the counter and grabbed a table.We ordered:$17 Half Original Fried Chicken with Signature Sauce$14 DdukbokkiThe ddukbokki came out first and then the chicken 5 minutes later. The crispiness of the chicken and the ddukbokki were decent, but the sauce was very basic and there was nothing that really stood out to me about this place. I'm not a big fan of Bonchon's Korean fried chicken so I personally think this place is better than Bonchon but not as good as bb.q Chicken.
