Some of the best fried chicken in Atlanta, I went with a few friends of mine, and had to come back here again with another friend. Food is great especially for the price point, the wings are pretty large. It's an interesting lower light type of interior. Also shoutout to our server Siely, she did great read more

YUMMY!! I had been hearing all about the hype on this place and we finally decided to get some food to go from here. I ordered online and I showed up around the time it said it would be ready but still needed about 10 minutes before it was ready. We ordered a bunch of different things. The original boneless no sauce was great, and we tried the garlic sauce boneless (we couldn't find the soy garlic online which we had heard was all the rave!) but regardless the garlic was AWESOME. Then we also tried the spicy bone in which was good but not very spice. I think next time I would do the bone in with soy garlic and make sure to get it all crispy!! For the side, we got some fries which were just alright nothing crazy and the chicken fried rice. The chicken fried rice was good but don't think it worth getting again. Overall a delicious meal and the staff was super nice. Parking is a tiny lot so definitely be aware of that. read more

Visiting from out of town and trying to find a solid spot to kill your hunger can be overwhelming - you really wanna get it right. Pelicana absolutely delivered on that front. This place served up some seriously tasty Korean fried chicken in a tucked-away corner spot with sleek black walls, a cool industrial vibe, intimate lighting, and a spotless feel. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming too. They stay open late (perfect after a late night out), and the chicken is legit - crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. I went with the Crispy Sweet & Spicy and the Honey Glazed Soy. The sweet and spicy had a nice kick that was manageable thanks to the sweetness balancing it out - great flavor overall. The honey soy was tasty too, though I wished the sauce was more reduced allowing it to cling better to the chicken getting that extra crispy glossy finish. Service was prompt at this late hour and served as an excellent spot to wrap up a late night with friends. The only minor catch for late night service is the automatic 20% gratuity no matter the party size - something to be mindful of when budgeting. Solid Korean fried chicken in a cool atmosphere with great energy. Definitely worth the visit - deserves 4 stars! read more

I DoorDashed from this location and the food arrived timely and in great condition. The chicken quality was top notch as always and the tteokboki was a great level of spice for me. My only complaint was that the radish had a slight aftertaste that I was not fond of. Great fried chicken! read more

This place saved our night! We were starving and too tired to go anywhere so we ended up at the hotel and searching for delivery options. This was our first time eating from Pelicana and I'm honestly not a huge wing fan so wasn't expecting much. I figured they'd be a little off no matter what since it was being delivered, but I was proven absolutely wrong. I'm not sure what wizardry was at work here, but every bite felt fresh. The food was still hot, the wings still had a crisp bite, and the sauce was spicy/tangy perfection. Plus, the little side of pickled radish was perfect. It hit every flavor profile we were looking for and can't wait to do it again! read more

Pelicana is something I've always wanted to try, and I'm excited ATL has a halal location! Right next to Masjid Al-Farooq, there is a small parking lot in the front and additional parking in the back. I appreciate the menu being explicit on what's halal and what's not. We had the chicken sandwich, the garlic wings, the half chicken with sweet/spicy level 2 and the Cajun fries. We also got sodas on the house for a review. The food was decent. The chicken was juicy and hot when it came out. The breading on the chicken was crispy but a little thick, and could have used more seasoning. I wasn't a fan of the garlic sauce (just straight garlic) or the sweet/spicy (cinnamon fwd??). The radishes though were awesome, great to cut through the fattiness of the meal. The service was great! Our server Feby was excellent, super friendly and helpful, and checked in with us for what we needed. As a suggestion - the restaurant should be split into two sections (drinking and not drinking) to help with the ambience. For example the party behind us, which kept swearing and ruined our family meal. It would help bring crowds in that otherwise may not choose to due to the restaurants interior. read more

I really enjoyed the chicken at Pelicans! The wings were cooked perfectly to me!! Honestlyyyy that extra crispy texture... yum. The sweet & spicy flavor was my favorite of the two. The honey soy was good too, just a bit sweeter than I usually go for, but if you love sweet wings, that one might be a hit for you. Overall, I'd definitely come back. The price felt a little high at $21 for 10 wings, but the quality was really solid. The spot itself is cute inside, the staff was super hospitable. We walked in with a to-go order on a Sunday night around 11 pm, the wait was about ~25 minutes. Sidenote: I love that they're open until 3am.. a win for late-night cravings! read more

We came after 10pm and they have a gratuity notice so keep that in mind. I came around 11pm and there were plenty of seating but once it was around midnight it started to get full. The servers were attentive at times and friendly but they have this QR code system where you can call for your server through your phone but there was no point in using that because their system was slow/delayed so they didn't get the requests in time. Better to uber here because parking is very limited in the back and small spaced. We got the spicy rice cakes and they were perfect portion and spice for $16. We also got some drinks. Soju is $15 a bottle. Overall the vibes were nice for a late night eat. read more

Great spot! Very cool concept and environment. Menu has a ton of great options but I opted for the soy garlic wings. Super crispy with a great flavor. They were a litttle on the smaller side so they gave me 12 instead of 10 which shows they want you to be satisfied with your experience. A friend had the chicken sandwich which looked great. They even branded their logo on the bun which is another special touch. Wings came with pickled daikon, corn-coleslaw, and salad. (All in a small sauce cup but still very nice) Service was great until the very end it took about 15 mins to get a box and the check. Only reason for 4 stars but would recommend this place. PS: Parking is not the best up front but they do have a lot behind the building. read more

So we came here after going to big Dave's Philly cheese steak and Publix. We walked in and was sat right away. The area didn't seem to be the nicest. The restaurant was empty so that's ok. It was a Sunday night and late. Met our waiter. Very nice gentlemen. We ordered the combo B with 10 wings honey garlic 10 wings sweet and spicy level 1. It came with pickled radish, fries, cheese ball, coleslaw or something a salad and a bun. Food came. The radish was sweet and good. The salad was good nothing special. The fries were surprisingly good. The bun I tasted was good. The wings were good. Smaller than I thought. The sauces were good. The white sauce with honey garlic was good. 1 dollar up charge. Idk if I'd pay for that again. The spicy mayo was actually better. We were very full with 8 wings left over. I'd come back. read more

BEWARE! They are doing shady business in there. Also the same $9 and $10 drinks are now $17 a year later. Crazy inflation. Bar used to be packed now it's pretty dead.

We came here on a sunday late at night around 12:30am and wow it was very busy still. We had to wait a bit for a table of 5. The server put three tables together and said we can sit there, but then another server took a table away and put the 5th chair at the end of our 2nd table. I told them it would be too crammed for us 5 with two big guys with us and asked to have our table back and he said okay and did it. Then a 3rd worker came over and said no and took it away again. Said the need the tables to other guests that are coming. I felt like they were not communicating to each other and we felt a bit crammed. Also A LOT of the flavors were sold out. We were trying to order and they kept saying "choose another one, that one is sold out" that happened 4 times. So we could not even eat the flavors we wanted. We were choosing back ups of our back ups basically. So that was kind of a bummer. I understand we came late at 12:00am. but you are open till 3am. The two flavors we ended up getting were sweet and spicy and bbq. The sweet and spicy was better. They were good though and I like how the chicken was meaty so it was filling for sure. Fries were yummy as well. Also we were out of water and it was difficult flagging someone down to refill our water. I think they needed to hire more staff. read more

When we stopped into Pelicana Chicken in Midtown, we found far more than we expected. The space itself felt welcoming, soft lighting, Korean videos looping on the screens, music at just the right volume, and a calm that made it easy to stay and enjoy. The menu was larger than we anticipated, but Rita, our server, guided us through with warmth and confidence. We started with the Ham Kimchi Fried Rice (layers of flavor from the tang of kimchi, the smoky bite of ham, and the richness of a sunnyside-up egg crowning it, with a crisp little house salad on the side). The Chicken Fried Rice we enjoyed as well (tossed with vegetables, bits of grilled chicken, and scrambled egg) simple but very satisfying. For dessert - and yes, we went there after deliberation, the Cheese Ball Mochi (hot, golden shell giving way to molten cheese that stretched with every pull) was decadent. Rita made the entire evening great. Attentive without hovering. Gracious with her suggestions. And genuinely happy to see us enjoying ourselves. Rita was the reason the meal felt not just good, but memorable. Thank you, Rita!! read more

4.5 The batter for the crispy chicken was very crispy and the meat was super juicy and tender. Got half sweet and spicy + half garlic wings. Size wise they were a bit small, but tenderness made up for that. I've had better flavored KFC but the crispy to juicy ratio was very good today. Mild spice wasn't very spicy at all , would get level 2 next time. Good service, ambiance was a vibe but little too loud for me. Pricy for size read more

The parking situation is not good here. There's minimal parking in front of the restaurant and sketchy parking in the back and side streets. This comment isn't meant to detour you, rather it's an opportunity to get you to plan ahead because the chicken is worth it! Inside, they keep a dark intimate theme with Korean fung shei. TVs at the bar. The takeout area is situated across from the bar. Bathrooms are nice and clean. The space is solid and the service is attentive and fast. Our food took no longer than 10 minutes from the time we ordered. As for the chicken. I'm trying to tell ya! Now for those that never had Korean fried chicken, let me forewarn you that the pieces aren't cut in a traditional manner. Hell, you may not be able to recognize anything but the leg and wing. But whatever part of the chicken they cook, it's cluckin' delicious! I had sweet and spicy level 2 as well as honey garlic. That sweet and spicy was so hot that it cleared up my sinuses. Felt like I had a dose of Zyrtec. That's what they should rename it, Sweet and Spicy Zyrtec. My goodness. But both honey garlic and sweet & spicy were delicious. I had fries as a side and they were ok. I'll probably opt for a more adventurous side next time. I found the prices at Pelicana to be fair. They plate a lot of food per order. Leftovers are bound to happen. Overall I give 4.2 stars out of 5. read more

Pelicana Chicken is located off 14th street, so if you drive too fast you'll past it honestly, I did. There is very limited parking (one way) about 3 spots available, which is a huge con for me. I believe there is paid parking a few establishments down. In regard to the food I had the fries, fried rice, and fried shrimp. Loved all of what I had, the only thing is I don't think you get your money worth with fried rice, half is a salad (it's lack luster). I would appreciate it if some effort was placed in the salad or you were given the option to just get a full entree of fried rice. The waitress was kind and they serve bottle/can drinks. The chicken is Halal, I believe that's the only thing that is Hala, so if you're someone who doesn't eat Hala food i would keep that in mind. read more

I was coming late last night and could only get a takeaway order. I wanted to sit down after a long work day - but I decided to take it with me. And I am so happy I did. I ordered the ugly chicken sandwich. And so good that I had my car with me, it was so big I couldn't have carried it home. No kidding aside this was ginormous and so delicious. Crispy on point perfectly fried. I had to come back for more chicken. And again so glad I did - I was so lucky to get Brenda as my server. She goes the extra mile, gives great recommendations, and even brought me a sauce to try (which I then also ordered!). I had the chicken tights with two sauces - sweet $ spicy and there house favorite with a little kick from Horseradish - great great taste! With an extra order of pickles and radish I was such a happy dinner guest. The kitchen, Pelicana and Brenda all deserve five stars plus! read more

Customer service and etiquette was -0.

My experience at this restaurant was fair. That's the best way to put it. There was really minimal to no ambience inside. I don't remember there being any special vibe that I experienced or anything like that. The food was alright to me. It's possible that the style of food it is maybe just isn't for me, but I felt like I was just eating a bunch of deep fried food that wasn't exactly amazing or to my taste. I don't have any complaints or much to note there either. Overall, I personally wouldn't return here, but for those that may enjoy this type of cuisine could feel differently. read more

Oh, boy. My fiancé and I wanted to like this place so badly. We are Korean-fried enthusiasts but this was just not it. I ordered the $12 chicken sandwich and the $6 small fry. The sandwich was huge, and by that I mean they clearly just took an entire chicken breast and put it on a regular set of buns. The chicken itself was so tough and rubbery, I couldn't even tell it was Korean fried. It was like eating fried play-doh... the texture was so weird. I've had a Popeyes sandwich that had better texture and flavor, and I hate Popeyes. There was so much going on with this sandwich -- I could barely taste any sauce. It was overloaded with wet cabbage that just made the whole thing fall apart. The honey garlic sauce was flavorless in this thing, and I wasn't sure they had added any at all. It didn't taste like it was Korean inspired in any way. And it was just bad. I ate it begrudgingly because it was late and we were hungry. The small fries were definitely not worth $6. I'd happily pay that for something a little more original -- these were clearly previously frozen and definitely not hand cut. Now on to our other order. My partner got the wings, no sauce. There was SO much breading, which I'm personally not used to when it comes to Korean Fried Chicken. He said it wasn't bad, but it definitely was not worth what it cost. Again, nothing about this meal screamed KFC. It's a glorified Popeyes. I'd like to say he has a stomach of steel. But the next day was a rough one to say the least. He could not keep that chicken down. I'm actually surprised this place has so many good reviews. I'm assuming the bulk of their business comes from the college students in the area. It is certainly priced that way. It is open late if you're looking for that. But if you're any type of serious foodie, you will probably be disappointed. Overpriced and the quality just isn't there. I wanted to try something different from here because I believe in second chances. But given the way my fiancé came down sick, I'll probably have to pass. read more
