it’s amazing that you can choose how your batter is done here! I chose original batter but it was crispy enough, wondering how extra crispy would be like!The soy garlic and sweet&spicy flavors are classic! Savory, garlicky, slightly sweet, with a bit of tanginess… the flavor combination is just additive! I can devour more fried chicken just for the sauce! Honey garlic sauce was also incredible. The pungency brought by vinegar was so delightful, sharpened my appetite immediately.Don’t skip their appetizers and sandwiches! The cheeseballs were airy and rich with cheesy goodness. The monster cheese chicken sandwich came with melting cheese! I can’t go back to the cold, insipid slice of deli cheese now.

The chicken rice is not good. Very plain and boring.

I’ve always loved Pelicana. But today they went above and beyondFirst, I love their chicken. I get it every time I’m in the city.But today, my Gurubhub app switched the delivery address as I was finalizing my order to a saved location about 5 blocks from where I am. Pelicana and their delivery partners went above and beyond and got me my food after my mistake.That’s service on top of amazing food.Pelicana, you just made a life long fan.And the chicken is bangin.

A great Korean fried chicken restaurant in the NYU area. The white meat chicken is probably some of the best fried chicken I’ve had recently. Portions are also huge. And the menu is fully halal. Definitely will visit again.

Food was blah and without joy. The Extra crispy chicken wasn't. The staff insisted that we take a beeper even though there were only 2 other customers in the tiny storefront. They badly advised us on the quantity of chicken that came in an order and so we over ordered. To quote another review: "The half order is really enough to share with two people!"

I can't say much about the service because I ordered take-out but the staff were very helpful and friendly, and the food was excellent!I accidentally ordered a mix-in sauce only and they included it on the side so my meal wouldn't be soggy when I got home (don't do it in the future just because I got it, it was a one-time thing).Overall a great experience, and I would come back to dine-in in the future.

Got 5 chicken drumsticks and onion rings. Food was fantastic. Note: they charge for water, and there is no bathroom to wash your hands after eating the very sticky chicken, so it’s a suboptimal experience trying to wipe the sauce off your hands.

Chicken was so crispy and delicious, staff was helpful in explaining things. My only gripe is that the they’re so expensive for no reason. 4 little cheese balls is almost $10.

Bland beyond belief, even with sauce, which they actually forgot in our most recent order, but we made our own, which was better than theirs. We ended up craving KFC after 2 bites. Salad tasted off. Fries were average. Never again.
crispy chicken wings, flavorful sauces, dry chicken
