Pelicana Chicken Irvine

Found this place during Uber's promotion. Super good fried chicken. Comparable to popular Korean Fried Chicken near by such as Furai, BBQ Chicken or Bonchon. Friendly service, and my daughter loved the chicken. Will be back again.

We went here around 1:40PM last Thursday afternoon, the service lady was very nice to explained their menu and recommended. We ordered fish cake soup which was very fresh and tasty, the fried chicken was so good! I took half to home for my boy, he kept asking where the place was, he said so so so yummy! He wanna me take him come here together next time.
I saw some reviews said they waited very long time, be honest, we still waited maybe around 20 minutes and no any other customers that time. But I think it’s worth because the food is amazing!
And also some reviews show they offer free donuts, we didn’t get it either.

The spicy rice cake makes me sweat, eyes feel like bleeding and tongue feels like needles but dang it’s still addictive. Perfect compliment to fried chicken. Got the ban ban (half original and half signature marinade) and chicken was alright. Just wished they gave more pickled sweet radishes… my only relief from the spicy rice cakes.

Their chicken was so delicious and flavorful, perfectly cooked and thoroughly seasoned with garlic and spicy sauce. They definitely don't skimp out on the sides and the free donut was delicious as well!
