I ordered takeout from Pelicans Chicken. I've been to other restaurants in the area, so I figure I'd try this spot out. I ordered the Spicy Soy Garlic (boneless thighs , Pa-Dak, and Chicken Fried Rice. (See pictures. The Chicken Fried Rice wasdisappointing. At almost $14, expected more. It lacked seasoning; it was bland. I wish they either used more soy sauce or evenadded salt. I ended up adding salt and drizzling in sesame oil to help things out. Also, the boneless chicken breast in the ricewere very dry. I do believe the texture, temperature, and ingredient ratio were perfect, but not enough to save this dish. ThePa-Dak is typically served with a soy-mustard drizzle and scallions. I found...
Pelicana Chicken is an amazing spot to enjoy a uniquely flavorful fried chicken. Your order takes about 20 minutes to arrive, as they cook everything fresh after you place it. I tried both their original and spicy fried chicken, and both were top quality with exceptional taste. The breading has a distinct crunch, while the meat remains tender and juicy. The spicy chicken packs a real punch—bold and flavorful—so you might want some rice to balance the heat. The restaurant offers ample parking since it’s located in a large strip mall next to The Block, a popular Korean food court. It’s definitely a place worth returning to, though you’ll need patience for the wait, which is absolutely worth it...
This was my first visit to Pelicana Chicken, and I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the wings we ordered. We chose a 24-piece assuming they would be regular size, but they were actually huge! I came with a group of four, and we still had 8 pieces left because they were so hearty and filling. We sampled several flavors, including spicy honey, garlic, soy garlic, and sweet spicy. I especially liked the soy garlic since it was on the drier side. The staff were very friendly and offered excellent recommendations. The trendy background music added to the great atmosphere, making it a perfect spot to hang out.
In an area surrounded by what seems like unlimited options for korean fried chicken, Pelicana really stands out! Their chicken is always well-cooked and crispy with a crunch in every bite, and even their non-chicken items are also fire. We got the spicylevel two wings, soy garlic wings, their double crispy wings, chicken sliders, bulgogi dupbap and rose dukbokki. Everything wassuper good but the spicy wings and the rose dukbokki were definitely our favorites! Thank you and shout out to Pelicana for thegreat food : I've been a loyal customer since I moved to the DMV will definitely be back again for more!!

In an area flooded with Korean fried chicken options, Pelicana truly stands out! Their chicken is always perfectly cooked and crispy, delivering a satisfying crunch with every bite. Even their non-chicken dishes are fantastic. We tried the spicy plain wings, soy garlic wings, double crispy wings, chicken sled, bulgogi bibimbap, and rose tteokbokki. Everything was delicious, but the spicy wings and rose tteokbokki were definitely our favorites! Huge thanks to Pelicana for the amazing food—I’ve been a loyal customer since moving to the DMV and will definitely be back for more!
I eat pelicana regularly. The chicken is mostly. There were a phase where it wasn't consistant but recent my orders have been pretty consistent and good. Rest of the menu can use some improvement. Pancakes, buldak, and taco were disappointmentrepeatedly. Jimdak anc gizzard were pretty good too. Recently I noticed the sauce size $2) they delivered became half thesize. That's a bummer for whole chicken order. The small one is recent sauce container vs the bigger one is from previous order.Believe it or not, this irritates me enough not to order online anymore for now.
The food at Pelicana Chicken is exceptional, boasting a distinctive flavor that is hard to find elsewhere. I particularly loved the assortment of sauces for the chicken and the Bulgogi, which is the best I've had in the area. Having lived in South Korea for a year, I can confidently say it's authentic. Jazmine provided outstanding service, and the owner, whose name I unfortunately missed, was incredibly attentive and greeted us warmly like old friends. I wholeheartedly recommend visiting and trying it for yourself.
The cheese corn was alright; it didn’t have as much cheese as other places I’ve visited and leaned more towards the corn flavor. The portion size was smaller compared to what a friend received for the same dish at the same price, which was a bit puzzling. The rice cakes were just average, not particularly memorable. Nevertheless, the highlight of the meal was the crispy chicken. It was flavorful, juicy, and easily one of the best Korean fried chickens I've tasted in the area.

Great food with a very particular flavor not found in other restaurants. We the different sauces for the chicken and the Bulgogi is the best in the area, and I am empowered to comment this because I live for a year in South Korea. Jazmine was great and theowner, which I don't know his name, was super attentive and welcome us like true friends. Go there and see for yourself.
