I recommend lemon jin if you don't like the taste of alc but still want to drink alc. I personally thought it just tasted like soda, so I didn't like it much. Ddeokbokki is good, nothing special. I ordered crispy soy half and signature sauce half. The portions are bigger than I thought. The food was very good. It's a good drinking place : )

This is a great place to hang out and enjoy some food if you are not there early you may have to wait awhile for a table the wait is worth it the food is really good.

Korean fried chicken offered in a wide variety of seasonings as well as a variety of seafood items.This place gets really busy on weekends, which is a testament in itself.

The chicken is juicy and tasty. We like the signature flavor and the rice cake is really good too. I like the texture and the rice cake is chewy as always.

Service is ok but when you order sauce with it chicken gets overwhelmed and all you taste is sauce.

The food came out hot with the spicy chicken having a nice flavor. But the batter wasn’t the best not really crispy as other comparable Korean chicken joints. The Peli fries are kind of a fake cheese powder so be aware they might not be for everyone. But the beer is cheap and the service is good.

Great food and atmosphere. We ordered a half order of honey soy and a half order of signature crispy wings with a side of corn cheese. Service was fast and efficient will definitely be back.

Updated review: 9.5/10 Came again with my sisters! They loved it and said it hit the spot again. Pelicana still gives out the complimentary dongchimi but they didn't give out any salad from before this time. We got the tteokbokki, Peli Shaken Fries, and an 18 piece wings (half uncoated and half soy, which is basically soy garlic). The chicken was hot, steamy, juicy and crispy without a super thick coating. So delicious!

Been wanting to try this place for a while and was very impressed with their menu. They have 3 different types of chicken served: original, crispy and wings. We ordered the Crispy Banban which is half crispy chicken w/o sauce, and the other half with sauce. For the sauce option, we got garlic, which was a little too much garlic in my opinion but it was rich and wasn't so salty, but I'll definitely try the soy next time! The chicken was still so crispy even when it has sauce on it. We also ordered the mochi cheese balls that came with 5 pieces - kind of like an asian twist to mozzarella sticks. Very crispy and the cheese paired really well with the fried mochi ball. The service was amazing, though it was busy, servers came really quick to our table whenever needed, and were also very polite. This place seemed more like a gastropub setting, great for group gatherings or even a casual dinner with friends. Overall, I was really content with my visit and will be coming back for more items to try!
