I definitely recommend getting the honey boneless chicken thighs as this chicken will melt in your mouth. The staff were super friendly and the wait wasn't too long. I loved the bar feel with the Korean food items. I definitely recommend. The location we went to was 102-07 Metropolitan Ave, but I couldn't find that specific location on the dropdown. read more

Service was friendly, chicken was fresh and tasty. We rated the crispiness 4.5/5 stars! The lunch special was a great deal. We will be back to try try other things on the menu. read more

I'm so disappointed that Silver Factory on South 5th is gone--it was so good! When I saw it had turned into Pelicana Chicken, I decided to give it a shot, and it was pretty good. Thinking the chain would keep the same quality, I ordered take out from the Greenpoint location. Spoiler alert: it didn't. The mandu was decent, but the stew? Meh. Not bad, just not hitting the mark I expected.Honestly, if I come back, it'd only be for the chicken since that seems to be the new focus. If you're craving good Korean food, this isn't it. Thank me later. read more

So I always was curious about this place but never went in because I am not a huge fried chicken fan, but iam a Korean food fan. I thought they just did fried chicken. They have some Korean food faves as well. I got the bulgogi with rice, which was very good and hit the spot. Now that I know they serve more than just fried chicken here, I will definitely keep coming back. read more

Ordered a simple lunchbox with teriyaki chicken with a hot green which took an unusual long time to be served. The chicken was dry, and with no teriyaki sauce and the rice was so hot it had obviously been microwaved. On top of it all the waiter forgot the green tea! The weird thing is the place was empty, I have no idea why they were so slow! read more

Not much to the interior of this place, but wow do they make great chicken. Large wings of delicious chicken and a decently fair price, $30 for 20 wings. Huge fan of their spicy level 2 sauce. Technically korean fried chicken, but I would like this more to American fried chicken with Asian inspired sauces. Regardless, this is some of my favorite fried chicken in the city. read more

Easily, the best Korean Fried Chicken place! It's a big step up from bb.q and bon chon. The crispiness is unmatched and I'm never disappointed with the flavor profile. The franchise is generally consistent throughout its locations, but I have appreciated my times in eating at this location. If you're looking for a casual spot and craving fried chicken and beer, you don't have to look any further. Honestly, not much can be said about the fries, onion rings, etc. They're good, but they don't stand out (except for they're a little oily). read more

Honestly really really good fried chicken. The lady at the counter was SOOOOOO helpful in assisting me with choices. Shout out to her! BONELESS CHICKEN (CRISPY) Super crispy and craggly/crunchy with tender dark meat inside ( you can choose white vs dark ) and we got lvl2 spice sauce on the side which is awesome. Lv1 is actually not spicy and just sweet. Super tender, delicious, and one of the best korean fried chicken experiences I've had in a long time. KIMCHI PANCAKE Their kimchi is made in house and you can really appreciate the freshness and crunchiness of it. The pancake itself is not really crunchy and is more soft and lightly crisp. CHEESE FRIES Got a side of cheese fries with our chicken. Good fries, melted cheese was giving a nostalgic melted artificial cheese (you can choose other types of cheese if you're looking for something special. But I personally love this artificial nacho cheesy sauce that goes over their fries. read more

I think about this place all the time! I crave it pretty much constantly. The crispy chicken was so flavorful. I'm a spice girl, so of course I like any of the flavors they offer. I also like the sides, especially the pickled radish. The service is always great as well. They are helpful about recommending things as well as making you feel like you're one of their friends. It's always a little crowded, which of course is a great sign of good food! If I could afford it, I would eat this every single day. read more

I knew the place had a great location. What I did not expect was how friendly and helpful the staff would be. You'll notice quality in design and mood. This place provides large portions of tasty dishes. The workers showed exceptional kindness and readily addressed all inquiries. Superior in every category. read more

The fried chicken was very crispy and delicious. I ordered through Uber eats and received my order quickly and still crispy. I wouldn't compare this fried chicken to traditional fast food fried chicken. It's legit authentic and has that fresh fried homemade taste. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. The price is a bit high but inflation is everywhere so I guess it'll still do. read more

Another location of this Korean fried chicken franchise from Korea. Pelicana always has some of the best Korean fried chicken in my opinion: ultra crispy, tender, and sauces that satisfy the entire spectrum of the palate from sweet, salty, to spicy. The size of the wings here are ginormous as well. Their unlimited alcohol option at the Greenpoint location is a killer deal. Seems like a good option to get some food in the tummy and pregame before a night out. Just wish they had an outpost in south Brooklyn! read more

Every single time I come here the food is honestly amazing. I have never left this particular pelicana disappointed. Order the beef bulgogi and you will see what I'm talking about. Pelicana Greenpoint I F@&kin@ love you! read more

As with any Pelicana Chicken, the fried chicken here is second to none! Absolutely some of the best restaurant chain fried chicken on the planet (Popeyes included!) After having visited their location in Manhattan's Koreatown, it was really nice to FINALLY see Pelicana Chicken expanded to Brooklyn. Unfortunately for South Brooklynites, it's still a ways away in Greenpoint, but beggars cannot be chosers. Nevertheless, the menu and fried chicken here is like any other location, so I won't go into detail about that. However, as for recommendations, definitely go with the original or crispy fried chicken and have sauces on the side for dipping. The crispy chicken is so crunchy and perfectly fried. You will not regret it! For those doing takeout, if you put the sauce on the side, you can go a bit longer without eating it, especially if you have a trek home. However, if you're eating the chicken in restaurant or you're not too far from home, by all means go for the chicken tossed in the sauces. As for the sauces, you won't lose with any of them. It's really a matter of preference for your taste buds. Also, for this location, it is located in a busy section of Greenpoint, so parking can be a challenge depending on the part of the day and day of the week. Other than that, enjoy the fried chicken! read more

I've been to all the locations but I go out of my way to this one for the consistent quality food, fast and excellent quality service.

Hands down the best K fried sweet boneless chicken thighs I've had. I honestly can't decide if I'd choose this or bonchon wings any old day. But they are distinctly different. Pelicana original chicken is more like the best general tao chicken or any variations of a gumpongi styled chicken. It's sweet as hell w a hint of Chinese five spice & gonchujang that you want to slather over a ginormous bowl of white rice. And then pass out. It's decadent, amazing as hell. We had other things but not worthy of discussing when I've already raged over the best thing they have here. What are you waiting for?! read more

Pelicana is an absolute gem when it comes to Korean fried chicken.went with my friend Jakob. The batter is light and crispy, giving every bite a satisfying crunch that is simply addictive. Their sauces are incredibly well-balanced, adding a delightful kick without overpowering the natural flavors of the chicken. The service at Pelicana is top-notch. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with any requests you may have. The ambiance of Pelicana is cozy and casual, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a laid-back meal with friends or family. In summary, Pelicana is a must-visit for any Korean fried chicken enthusiast. read more

Some of the best fried chicken I have ever had. Our server John was so sweet and energetic. We did have to remind him a couple of times for little things but he was new so I give him a pass. The only reason this place isn't 5 stars is because Soju is the only liquor option available. We ended up just getting a lemonade and a ginger ale. read more

Pelicana Chicken - Original Fried Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Giving two starts because the food is okay but the service is inconsistent and questionable. I've experienced staff that has been friendly and welcoming, but the past few times I've been here I've been greeted by the manager who is angry, unfriendly, and problematic. It seems like she is upset to receive an order, and it is such a struggle to fulfill the order. Most recently I ordered online for pick up, arrived 15 minutes later, walked to the counter and then waited for 5 minutes until she came out from the back kitchen. She then told me that they just received the order two minutes ago and that it would be 20 more minutes for my soy garlic wings. In a previous visit I witnessed her chastising an employee for incorrectly taking an order. I decided to give it a second chance and not to my surprise that same level of service (lack thereof) was consistent. No reason to come to this location because there are better fried chicken places in the neighborhood (and I'm not referring to Popeyes which is just across the street... smh). I'm surprised management at this location has lasted so long. You would think the franchise would take action, or the manager would move on to employment she didn't hate. If you want to eat here better to pay the fee and order delivery. *FOLLOW UP TO OWNER RESPONSE* @Kim L. Woah woah woah - not true. Your response is not accurate and is a malicious misrepresentation. read more

Pelicana is a close second to Mad For Chicken. The wings are yummy, level 2 spicy was pretty mild so next time I would get level 3. The japchae and Mac and cheese are great as well. You can add Parmesan on the top which was gives it more flavor and extra cheesiness, and for $1 extra, it's worth it. It was a little hard to get our server's attention, another person had to call him. And another table had to go up to him to get their check closed out. Other than that, great place. read more

Honestly really good soy wings. Soft and very flavorful. I used a Groupon voucher and they honored it with no issues. Great staff, clean facility. The only reason why I gave them 4 instead of 5 starts is because of the wait time. I waited about 25 to 30 minutes for 20 piece wings, and there was only 1 person before me . If they were short staffed I definitely understand but to my knowledge they were not. Other than that a great place to dine in or take out. I will definitely be returning without a Groupon. read more

I was introduced to Pelicana through friends from NJ and since I moved near to the Sunnyside location I've enjoyed their delivery plenty of times!! The fries, calamari, and boneless crisply chicken are absolutely addictive! You cannot go wrong with them. I've also enjoyed plenty of their wings, regular chicken and the chicken sandwich but the boneless just has something that makes it better. The range of sauces is amazing for anyone as not all are spicy so you can take your pick and always order more on the side 10/10 read more

Came here with my sisters and really liked it! the chicken were crispy but also very tender and juicy. We wanted to try as many items as possible, so we ordered one of the Whatever fried chicken combo platters (I'm pretty sure it was Combo C), it was $52 and fed the 3 of us. It included 20 pieces of fried wings with side of fries, mozzarella sticks, onion rings and sauces. read more

I was just walking around town, feeling fresh from a haircut at Rosepoint Studios when I saw Pelicana and thought... mmmmmm Korean chicken. Hell yah. I ordered some soy wings and coleslaw ( to go ) and while I waited I had a ( to go ) beer out front and watched the people roll by. They were super nice there and even brought my order out when it was ready. I think the beer was a 16oz Sapporo and under $5. Wings were saucy and crispy at the same time - so good, I will be back. read more

I placed an order pretty late at night and the food was ready in 20-25 minutes as they promised on their menu. I ordered some bone in chicken and some boneless chicken. The bone-in chicken was 1000x better than boneless. The boneless seemed to be more dough than chicken. Maybe they should cut the chicken for boneless pieces bigger so it doesn't seem like we are just eating fried dough? I figured it was the random pieces laying around that make up the boneless chicken. idk. Regardless, I was quite disappointed by the boneless chicken order (I ordered more fo this one too sigh). I killed the bone in chicken and did not eat much of the boneless chicken - passed that off to the boy and he said I only had maybe one real piece of chicken out of the entire box. I ordered 2 half boxes and 1 full box of boneless. For the bone in chicken, the flavor and texture was great. read more

The Korean fried chicken is pretty good. Although, I usually get it To-Go, which affects its crispiness. The sauce is charged extra, which leads me to getting the soy garlic which is good, but a bit too much soy flavor and less sweetness. Make sure it comes with radish because depending on who is the cashier, they might forget. read more

This Korean fast food restaurant has a lot to offer from fried chicken , fried chicken sandwiches ,burritos , tacos , burgers and even entrees like chicken teriyaki. They have a decent beer aNd soju menu that pairs well with every meal . I love that this place is open late so great for late night dinners. Place is very clean and food comes out quickly so that's always a plus. I would definitely recommend the ugly friend chicken sandwich lol what a name right ? read more

Pelicana is an awesome Korean Fried Chicken Franchise. If you haven't tried yet, you should. Since this place is a franchise and they do the food right, this rating is mostly about this location. (This place holds up to Pelicana standards, chicken cooked perfectly, fries are so delicious, a lot of flavor options and cooking styles for chicken) - Love the bendy straws here + 10 for ambiance and fun. - Cleanest Fried Chicken place I've EVER? been to. - They played WWE on the tv This Pelicana is special because the vibe is so fun and cool. Love it. Will be back with friends again. read more

Best Korean Fried Chicken in NYC(than any other Prlicanas in NY too)‍‍‍‍‍ Pelicana used to be my favorite fried chicken place growing up in Seoul, Korea. Not only I was amazed that they had this in the city but was also amazed how fresh and good they are. I honestly think its better than OG pelicana back in Seoul lol I used to order almost every week when I lived in brooklyn. now I moved to UES and been ordering from Hell's kitchen pelicana, but its definitely not the same. I miss you greenpoint pelicana read more

Great chicken, great all you can drink. Their chicken is a bit small possibly due to the company using non-gmo chicken. I would probably buy one chicken per 2 people. Their all you could drink option is awesome amazing. It's about 17.99 for unlimited soju and beer. I deducted a point because there were 12+ kids sitting next to me being very rowdy and drunk. We had to leave because it became unbearable. read more

I ordered take out of original wings in late July. Actually it was first time since March to go in to a restaurant even for a take out. They removed all tables and chairs inside so it was spacious and there was only me and my friend inside for customers when we came in at night. The staffs were friendly and we only needed to wait maybe 15minutes to get our take out which we ordered at the counter not online. I make chicken wings at home too but it's one of those things Asian restaurants do it better. I really liked how crispy they are even for the original, I think original chicken wings are just perfect but next time I will love to try some other variations too. One thing I thought I will receive the coupon for future just like my friends do always, but it wasn't in the bag. So I was little disappointed on that..:/ But still their wings are one of the best in the area. read more

I love Korean fried chicken and this was okay. Place: Clean. Service was slow and forgetful. We had to ask multiple times for different items that they said they will get us. Some of the confusion was the fact that multiple servers were involved in our one table (of 6). But we tried to make sure we reminded the original server that we asked. Food: -honey garlic wings- it was just okay. It has some flavor. We got the sauce mixed and put on the wings. You can have the sauce on the side so you can dip. -spicy bbq wings- had a kick -onion rings- most were good,had a few that tasted like just batter -fries - yum -mozzarella sticks- okay -plum soju- mmm read more

Best mozzarella sticks ever and the chicken is always excellent. Can't go wrong. Try the boneless white meat.
