Pelicana Chicken - King of Korean Fried Chicken

Great food

Absolutely loved this spot! We came in craving Korean fried chicken and left beyond satisfied. The chicken wings were insanely crispy and flavorful—perfectly balanced between sweet, spicy, and savory. We also tried the omurice, which was surprisingly comforting with that soft, fluffy egg blanket over perfectly seasoned rice. The bulgogi burger was a standout too juicy, well-marinated meat with that signature Korean BBQ flavor and a nice kick from the sauce. 🔥

Everything tasted fresh, and the portions were generous. The vibe was casual but clean, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. Definitely coming back to work through the rest of the menu. Highly recommend! 👌🏼

Maybe I've been too spoiled by other Korean fried chicken options in the grand rapids area, but I found this location lacking in all the avenues of dining. Service was slow (I get it, chicken takes time to cook). Only bright side was the girl who took my order was happy to explain any questions I may have had.

Avoid the coleslaw like the plague. Only taste it has was too bland to write home about.

The spiciest sweet and spicy sauce was entirely too sweet and lacked any kick that I craved.

Decor and atmosphere reminded me of a small time ma and pa hole in the wall except I expected more from a franchise restaurant.

Excellent chicken
Great friendly staff
Clean dine in area

Excellent Korean fried chicken! The sweet and spicy sauce level 3 with the crispy spicy batter is elite for spice lovers!

Great fried chicken! Love the sauce…

You will not regret eating here. The soy fried dumplings are to die for they're so good. I love the rose tteokbokki (think big squishy balls of noodles with creamy mild spicy sauce and bits of veggies and meat). The fried chicken is very delicious.

My partner and I loved dining here for my birthday lunch. I've been to the Pelicana in Texas and had such a good experience and this one in Michigan was just as pleasant! The workers were nice and the food was perfectly made!
