Food should be better than now. It was good before but it's not what it used to be. The server was very polite but only one person was serving the entire business and I saw his supervisor not working at all, which was very disappointing.

Freaklil and Sam and jay are the best servers. They always treat me with love and take care of me. I take all my friends here and if I had to choose a place it is Pelicana here in sunny side.

Has a great drinking deal if you dine-in. Service is always nice and courteous. Love the spicy calamari. Very crispy and the heat is a spicy creeper which I enjoy. Only order if you can handle spicy, otherwise regular calamari is a nice light crispy treat. Comfy booths to sit at and there’s a hook on the table to hold your bag

Came in on Thursday night and the place was super busy. I unfortunately forgot our server’s name, I think it was Freaklil but he was absolutely amazing. Hands down one of the best servers I’ve had. The food was okay, but the service was 100/10. He handled the crowd so well, stayed attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience great. Would definitely come back just because of the service.

The fried chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside — perfectly done and not greasy. The hot pot had a rich, spicy broth with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. Everything was well-seasoned and served hot. Great balance in taste and texture.

The food was decent. I got their collab meal and it was a lot of food. The chicken was good and it was crunchy. The only issue I had was that they gave very little fries and their sauces did not have much flavor. The staff were very nice and the environment was pleasant to be in.

Love this local joint. They have deliciously juicy Korean fried chicken. The sauces are a mix of spicy and non spicy and their signature is perfect in spice and thickness. Kimchi fried rice and truffle fries were also good. Friendly service too.
