    I went back to redeem the free birthday chicken. However, things have changed with the deal. But first let me say that when my friend and I entered no one was there and it was empty. If someone came in and started serving themselves no one would be around to stop them. I even called to see if someone would come out to pick up the phone and see us sitting there. But nope! It was around lunch time too. Anyways, someone finally came around and apologized and I guess she was in the back or basement or somewhere that wasn't where we were. Very bad service! She couldn't really speak English, so it was hard communicating. We had to point to stuff off the menu. Anyways, I asked if I could order the birthday chicken. She said yes, and checked my ID and told us that there's a new rule where it's half a chicken now. That's what we got and some drinks and fries. If it wasn't for the deals that they have, I wouldn't be back.

    Ate here today with my family for lunch to celebrate my mom's birthday. We had definitely got a side order of fried food dishes and whole fried chicken (Level 2 only) to share and eat that it had tasted really good and delicious. The service there was also attentive and delicious. We couldn't agree more about it. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time.

    I am a huge fan of Pelicana's birthday chicken promotion. A free whole fried chicken on your birthday is an amazing meal to share with friends. I've been to this location twice for a friend's birthday and was glad it wasn't too packed this time around. The service was great and the food was plentiful. We got the fried chicken with two types of sauces, garlic dry rub and a garlic sauce. I enjoyed the sauce version much better as the powder was too strong for my taste. We also tried their bulgogi nachos, which were huge for sharing. We were pleasantly surprised at how good they were. Lastly, we ordered the Korean rice cakes with ramen, which was pretty standard. I hope Pelicana continues to offer this promotion as it is a great marketing technique to get us here every year.

    $40 Combo Meal. Fried Chicken plus sides

    We came to Pelicana for our Best Friend's Birthday last November & absolutely loved the place. Conveniently located near multiple other restaurants, Liquor stores, & Karaoke bars! This establishment is BYOB which is also a bonus! My husband & I just returned here on Tuesday, 04/08/25. My husband got the spicy chicken sandwich which he enjoyed very much. Then we shared a combo platter of chicken which came with plenty of sides! The staff was also super friendly & very accommodating! We absolutely love this place & wish there was one closer to where we currently live!

    Time to celebrate Valentine's day
    Polly H.

    The vibe is cute and intimate. Good for a small group of friends, a date spot, and a nice place to grab a drink with food options. So the music when I went in yesterday evening was R&B some throwback's to the 90's, Drake, Rihanna, and Jeremih. Not bad. Back to the meal at hand, I had ordered the Camembert cheese flavored fries, and I loved it. Yes it's messy, but you get towelettes. They were so addictive. When I checked in on Yelp, they offered one order of fries for free. I have to say the service was impeccable, and we had an awesome time. Ok another highlight, I was really enjoying my friend's drink, the dragon fruit one with yogurt in it...which is super sweet and memorably fantastic. I had the white sangria with peach schnapps which was strong and had great flavor. My friend ordered a lemonade, and it was a beautiful deep blue color. I enjoyed our time here. Some of my friends found the soy sauce garlic chicken wings were a bit overdone, but I was so hungry that I hadn't noticed and ate them crazily...they were okay. There was a ton of people at this location in spite of the single digit degree temperature. Maybe Valentine's celebrations? Or maybe that is how good the food was! I would definitely try it again.

    Omg chicken madness!! It is soo good! Eat it while its hot! Location: It is located in LIC. There is few seatings inside. Service: I ordered to go, but he seem nice when I asked for the free soda! Food: I ordered ORIGINAL FRIED CHICKEN and it was so good! The skin is crispy just the perfect crispiness and the inside is moist! Definitely one of the best fried chicken i have! Price rating: 6/10, it was not bad. Well i went here twice for a week! So I will definitely come back for sure! Chicken was the best!

    Half Soy garlic/half Spicy Bone-In wings

    Came here for dinner. We ordered the half soy garlic and half spicy wings (20 wings) and Bacon cheese fries (L). Servers were friendly and accommodating. We were really looking forward to ordering the Honey Beer but the server said they couldn't serve alcohol because of restaurant's licensing issue. Food was okay. The wings were not as crispy as other Korean fried chicken places. Flavor was okay. Bacon cheese fries were soggy. Would probably not order again. Overall: I would only come back for the honey beer and maybe give the wings another chance.

    My daughter went to your establishment for an anime pop up. She surprised me with a box of your chicken omg! So crunchy and well seasoned!!! Super delicious . I even had the last 2 pieces of chicken for breakfast lol. I am looking g forward to returning to pelicana.

    I visited this restaurant during their birthday promotion. On your birthday you get a whole chicken and you can add any sauce to it. I especially liked their chicken with the spicy sauce. I felt that just the chicken was dry. Whole chicken was already filling us, so we only got some fries and budae jiggae only. Budae jiggae was good. We also recieved some free beers to try. They were trying out some new beers so we were asked to review on it.

    The set meal
    Agelakute ..

    I came here Dec 2nd for the Star Rail Collab. It was a terrible event. I came half an hour early but still had to stand outside for 5 hours. For some reason management only had 300 available stands but allowed 800 people to reserve a spot that they didn't even bother checking. This made a LOT of people not get what they wanted even though we specifically came to this one Pelicana spot because they offered the stands here. They're restocking a few supplies everyday for the rest of December but they really couldn't have told us that earlier or even open the business earlier because of how crazy the line was? It would have made the lines so much more efficient. I also forgot to do the Instagram thing to get the badge but that's more on me than anything else. But I really would've appreciated if one of the employees would've said anything. I don't even remember what the food tasted like, I was literally too depressed

    Soy garlic & crispy fried chicken
    Sylvia B.

    Ordered the boneless soy garlic chicken and the crispy fried chicken. Honestly both were disappointing... the soy garlic boneless chicken was kind of hard to chew and the crispy chicken with bones were small and didn't have much meat. Also the fried gizzard were disappointing as well... they were tasteless. And I took a couple bites of the scallion and something tasted funky. I looked it it again and the onion looked slimy...its def old

    Mild and spicy soy garlic chicken Bacon and cheese fries

    Went to pelicana chicken last night. Had the 20 piece mild and spicy soy garlic fried chicken with bacon and cheese fries. The chicken was tasty but I wouldn't get the fries again. It was overall a good experience however a little disappointed alcohol wasn't served (currently going through renewal apparently). Will have to visit again another time.

    Was looking for a good burger this night and with a little search a place called Wolf's Lair popped…read moreup. It's a pretty nice sports bar with large TV screens throughout the place so will definitely be on my list of places to hit up to watch a few games! Overall food and service was on point, but also it was a random weeknight where there wasn't a crowd. Either way, recommend this bar if you're looking to grab a bite or watch a game! Classic Waygu Burger - 4/5 Great tasting and juicy burger, but one thing I wish was included was a side of fries at bare minimum. Cook of the meat was on point Disco Fries - 5/5 - Think of it as poutine but with mozzarella instead. Great side dish to a burger

    What to make of this place?…read more When we visited in September (at that time), a wanna-be sports bar had just taken over the Greek taverna Blue Sea Taverna (before that, two iterations of Akrotiri). Both Greek tavernas had failed or gone out of business. So we were curious to see what changes had been made. When we entered, we were initially confused because the seating, especially the lounge seating, did not create a sports bar vibe. Even adding a bunch of TVs did not give us that feel either. Instead, our initial impression was that they were trying to convert an old Greek taverna into a gastropub, similar to other well-known ones in the area. And I should also add we had not been following the local news about the controversy regarding their name association with a World War II fortified bunker that was blown up at the end of the Second World War, and only read about the controversy over their name after we left, and on social media. Apparently, the owner(s) were most likely unaware of its historical context when naming their establishment. So we did not factor that into this review. Upon entering the Wolf's Lair, the seating was that of a modified Mediterranean restaurant. We chose the comfy seating looking out towards 29th Street and 30th Avenue. It had been raining heavily, and so we were just glad to be inside. Because our initial impression was that we were in a Mediterranean gastropub, we ordered lamb chops with lemon potatoes. The waiter, who may have been one of the owners, informed us that this vegetable was not on the menu; however, when our chops arrived, as you can see from the photos, we were indeed served lemon potatoes. We got what we ordered, which made us happy, and the chops were cooked to perfection. As we usually do not drink alcohol, beverages were not factored into our review. However, there was one thing we found a little strange and creepy. When we left, one of the employees, presumably an owner, insisted on coming out to help take photos. This was a little off-putting. Nevertheless, we got some good shots. In writing this review, we spent a lot of time deliberating our experience at the Wolf's Lair. We focused on the restaurant, service, food quality, and atmosphere. While the overall experience was excellent, we did not find Wolf's Lair to have a sports-bar atmosphere, but rather a family-dining atmosphere. On the day we visited, there was hardly any action at the bar, and most of us seated were into the food, if nothing else, with one family having a birthday party for one of their children. Overall, we had a good experience. Whether we come back to see if the Wolf's Lair becomes an actual sports bar, well, that's another matter.

The place is LOUD albeit with good taste of retro, 90's music and not the modern trash that floods the radio waves so I can rock with that. Place is sized pretty well with an outside seating area and plenty of tables inside the albeit dimly lit bar/restaurant. Coming into the place I was greeted by a blonde woman who seemed to be a supervisor of the area. She directed me to a comfortable seating area and a server took my order afterwards. The place was relatively busy so the wait for my food was kind of in the long range, about maybe 15 minutes. I ordered Chicken & Waffles with Iced Tea and the food was definitely worth the wait. That chicken was so good, a bit on the crisp side but it's solid in taste. The Waffle had such an awesome texture with the right measure of powdered sugar, decorated with Blueberries and Strawberries, the entrée was plated very well. The Iced Tea, I didn't know it was unsweetened so that threw me off but some sugar kinda fixed that. Service was also 'A' Tier. The place was busy so it was a tad on the slow side but they were very attentive. About 3 different servers tended to me whether it was about my order, how I liked it and paying for the bill when I was finished. That's dedication and I always give props to that. I enjoyed my visit here.

While deciding where to go one day, this was suggested and im so glad I went. The restaurant is cozy with tables inside the main dining room and in an enclosed outdoor seating area. Im guessing it opens in the summer. I sat down with my niece while waiting for my sister and for a good 5-7 minutes, no one stopped by and gave a menu nor offered water. Finally after about 3 people walked by not saying anything, someone came. The area is not that big and 7 minutes isnt that long but to sit there any not be addressed by all the staff walking by was annoying. Finally my sister came and we were offered water and a menu. After hearing about the specials and asking for recommendations, we settled on the gnocchi (housemade potato gnocchi, burrata, peas, pesto sauce, toasted pine nuts), Pappardelle alla Bolognese (housemade ribbon pasta, meat sauce), and side of sautéed spinach. The food arrived and we were pleasantly delightful by the main. The gnocchi was so soft and creamy, the sauce was delicious. Im not a fan of gnocchi but this was so good. The papardelle was my meal and it was also so good. There was a lot of pasta and a good amount of meat sauce. It was also delicious. The spinach on the other hand was bland. It has no flavor and we had to add some salt. A few times we tried to call someone over to our table but felt like no one was paying attention. When we were done with our meals, my sister had a few pieces of gnocchi left. She asked for a box as it was to be my nieces lunch for tomorrow. I then said, can you also box up the spinach. A few minutes later, the server dropped off a bag with one container and said here's the spinach. We tried to call his attention but he was already walking away. Where was the gnocchi. Finally when we came back, we asked about it and he said oh I thought it was garbage. I said no we asked for it to be boxed. He said let me talk to the kitchen. He came back and said sorry, they cant do anything but one dessert will be on me. I guess thats fine but we more wanted the food for the baby. For dessert we ordered a tiramisu and pistachio gelato. The tiramisu was in a jar as opposed to a cake slice. One bite of the ice cream and I knew it was bad. It was grainy and sandy texture. I looked up why that would be and one reason stated it could be improper storage, like it was unfrozen or melted then refrozen. I wasn't chancing that. I told the server and said I couldn't eat it. He offered another dessert but I said know, then offered a limoncello shot. While I appreciate the offer, we weren't drinking before so that wasn't the best option to offer. I just said im fine without a replacement. When we got the bill, the dessert was taken off like he said he would. We paid and left. Overall the main course/pasta meals were delicious. The sides and desserts could use work. Service was alright. Id definitely come back for the food and to try some of the pizza.

Branzino Special with Cannelli Beans and Swiss Chard. This was the winner of the evening. The cripsy skin was amazing. The fish was cooked to perfection, the cannelli beans I thought were going to be weird but it added a nice creaminess to the fish.

The flavors were good but I felt this would have been a better, reheated the next day kind of dish.
