    Yummy and satisfied our craving for Korean fried chicken! First time coming here and really happy we tried it. The waitress was so friendly in giving us recommendations and she let us sample their top sauces. The signature sauce was our favorite since it had that sweet and savory flavor we wanted. The garlic sauce packed a punch! If you love garlic, I recommend getting this one. Each piece of chicken was so flavorful, juicy, and crispy! The corn cheese was so good! I loved how cheesy was and bubbling hot it came out too. They have tv screens to watch the big game and lots of tables. When we first got there it was pretty quiet but around 8pm a dinner rush came in. TheThey were still speedy and delivered lots of food! We can't wait to come back.

    Food here was delicious. The Korean fried chicken definitely hit the spot. The available sauce varieties were quite savory. The rose tteokbokki was a nice twist to the usual since the taste was very well rounded and not overly spicy. Only downside was the service, which was quite mediocre. We did not get checked up on, our water was not refilled, and we had to constantly flag the servers down to get any type of assistance since they were on their phones or talking to each other basically the entire time. I did get the opportunity to meet the vice president and told him how much I really appreciated the food because it really was delicious despite the service.

    9 Piece Crispy Fried Wings with Sauce

    Pelicana has been our go-to spot for Korean fried chicken ever since they opened near us, and it hasn't disappointed once. The chicken comes out fresh and piping hot every time, and the wings are actually big -- not skimpy -- with plenty of meat on them. The flavor options are legit too. Whether you're in the mood for something sweet, spicy, or somewhere in between, they've got you covered. On top of that, the staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes it even better. We've been back more times than I can count, and it's still just as good as the first visit. Safe to say we'll keep coming back. Love this place.

    My lil brother said taking you to one of the best fried chicken places & he was right! They were all crispy & delicious, perfect crisp to be exact. The house sauce was my favorite. The truffle fries were good, you could smell the truffle right as the waitress put them on the table. Next time I'm in Vegas I'll definitely be back!

    Pelicana Chicken will always have a special place in my heart. We used to have a location in San Jose, California, and when it closed, I thought I'd lost my go-to spot for that perfectly crispy, flavorful Korean fried chicken. On my recent trip to Las Vegas, one of the absolute highlights was finally getting to eat Pelicana again. The food was every bit as delicious as I remembered--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor that keeps you reaching for more. I ordered it to-go, so I can't really speak much about the service or ambiance, but honestly, the food alone is 100/10. If I could, I'd book another trip to Las Vegas just to have Pelicana again.

    fish cake soup
    Ashlynh D.

    I came to this place on a whim because too sushi next door had too long of wait. The food was a great and I really want to try different flavors. The fish cake soup is SOOOO good like probably one of my favorite broths i've ever tasted. The cheese balls were good but kind of had a sweet taste which I wasn't a fan of. the chicken is super good! so moist and crispy. i wasn't a huge fan of flavors I got but I definitely will be back to try different flavors. I appreciate the large parking lot outside too

    Thank god this location is in the boonies somewhere between Harry Reid and Southern Highlands because otherwise I'd be going all the time and getting chubby-nanana. I've never been a fan of Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) with the marinade (yangnyeom) on it. However, Pelicana hits different because I remember eating their chicken as a kid when I would visit Korea - you know, the South side - in the 1980s, and thinking this was the best thing ever. Taste of nostalgia. I actually thought it was Pelican meat at first when I was a kid. I mean Koreans do eat all kinds of stuff and some of their food dishes have misleading names like "gom tang" which I thought was bear soup since "gom" means bear but in this case the gom was from the term "goda" which means to boil over a long time. Korean lesson over, no you are not eating pelicans. I checked their website and this is what it said about their name origins: "Pelicana wanted to evoke that same sense of comfort, care, and generosity, just like parents bringing home fried chicken for their families." Ummmm WTF? Sounds like the EngRish on those Morning Glory stationery from back in the day. I mean the pelicans I see on Nat Geo are the ones that gulp up schools of fish in one swoop. More like serial killers or vacuum cleaners and not parents haha. Well now with this push in the States they are saying it is a combination of the word Pelican and Americana... I still don't get it. A better name might have been Chickoreana or Korchickena. Then again, that sounds stupid too. Their classic signature sauce that is gochujang-based with just the right amount of garlic and seasonings is simply perfection. No need for weird ass chili mayo or other sauces. It seems they have expanded beyond chicken and have all kinds of Korean items. However, this review is only for the chicken. It's classically amazing. * Pelicana is located in the rear of the Top Sushi AYCE building. You will see the building from Las Vegas Boulevard because there's a huge sign that says they are the #1 Korean Fried Chicken haha.

    1/2 Crispy Fried Chicken and blazing mayo
    KimChi N.

    We came on a Sunday and they were short staffed but the two girls did such a good job of taking care of us and everyone. the boneless chicken feet was so good! Loved how spicy and nicely cooked it was. Thank goodness it wasn't overcooked and became mushy. The rose tteokbokki was creamy, saucy, cooked well. We ordered half original half blazing mayo, we really enjoyed how lightly battered the chicken was and how juicy the meat was. It was oh so yummy!

    Peli Cheese Ball
    Jana E.

    Ordered from this place and had it to go. But the food was so hot and fresh and crispy when I ate it at home. Had two different chickens, I believe honey soy and regular fried chicken. Got sauces on the side which was $1.50 extra. The cheese balls were surprisingly hella good! The French fries as well. I want to go back and try more flavors!

    Crispy Ban Ban Boneless (Sauce on the Side)
    Valerie P.

    I have been to this location multiple times, and it does not disappoint! The location is near South Point and has a decent amount of seating. The bathrooms are also clean. We ordered the crispy ban ban boneless with the garlic, cheese, and honey soy (not pictured) on the side. It was very crispy, and we were glad that we could try multiple sauces for free. We also order the sweet potato fries, which are always good, especially with the ketchup. I ordered the cabbage salad as well, which is available upon request. We did also try the cream pasta, which was okay but unsure if we would order it again. The service was great as always, and even though the place was busy, the workers checked up on us frequently to make sure our dining experience was good. Would always come back!

    Best Korean Fried Chicken in Las Vegas! Must try! A bit pricy but totally worth it! Service is great and fast

    Cinda S.

    Great food and service! Best Korean fried chicken that's worth the drive. Love their spicy rice cakes paired with their chewy cheese balls! We get the ban ban chicken with honey soy and side of spicy sauce. DELICIOUS!

    Ban Ban Chicken garlic flavor

    I ordered online for the first time, I was craving Korean fried chicken. Picked up my order after 15 minutes and their chicken was so delicious. The Korean lady at the counter was courteous and greeted with a smile. She also handed a cup of cold water while I waited for a few minutes.

    Hey, y'all…read more Y'all... I guess I've been living under a rock because I'm just now finding out about Cheongdam Food Hall! Where have I been?! Anywhoddles I ordered from Eki Ramen, and when I tell y'all this ramen was RAMENING! Aka delicious. Aka... fire I ordered the Black Garlic Ramen, and as you can see from the menu, it was only $12.95. I added an extra egg, extra pork belly, and extra black garlic oil because... why not? Anywhoddles with the extra "trimmings" it came to $18 dollars. Let's get back to the review Now lean in so I can tell y'all about this broth. It tasted authentic to me. It was rich, velvety, silky smooth, creamy without being heavy, and bursting with savory goodness. Every sip had me closing my eyes The noodles had the perfect bite--not too soft and not too firm. The pork belly was tender, flavorful, and had just the right amount of char around the edges. And those eggs? Whew! Perfectly jammy with that beautiful golden yolk. So... if you're a ramen lover--or if you've been thinking about trying ramen for the first time--I highly recommend giving Eki Ramen a try. And while you're there, take your time and explore Cheongdam Food Hall because there are plenty of other restaurants waiting to be discovered. Until next time... y'all already know what time it is! I'll be doing a boomerang back to this spot because there are way too many restaurants in this food hall for me to stop at just one!
