Pelicana Chicken Edmonton 페리카나 에드먼튼

Not a bad spot if you are craving fried chicken in the south area, we ordered their fried sweet potatoes (loved it), and tried their Pelicana Seasoned Chicken and White Snowing Cheese Chicken, both okay but I do prefer the cheese one over their signature dish, it has a more balanced flavour and I enjoyed the crispy texture. The Pelicana seasoned one was too saucy, the coating was very thick and strong and overpowered the overall taste. We also ordered their Fish Cake Soup, which we enjoyed as well, just a tad on the salty side.

I tried the fried chicken here a while back, after many friends’ suggested it. I was told that this is (one of) the most authentic Korean Fried Chicken by Korean friends. Overall, their fried chicken is quite good. They are a little distinct from other places: slightly different breading/skin to meat ratio, saucy pieces, different flavors, etc. However, I don’t think I enjoy it as much as other places

Great chicken for a great price! The spicy also had sweetness and it was amazing. The super crispy chicken is as advertised as well. We called ahead to eat in and they had our order ready when we sat. The service is great here! Highly recommend!

Great place for chicken. The food are slightly on the expensive side but it's really good. The Pelicana Seasoned(tossed in gochujang sauce I believe) and Soy Sauce chicken are amazing. The side dishes(pickled radish and coleslaw) you get are good. I also got the fish cake soup which is also really tasty. The atmosphere is also great.

I must say I was pleasantly surprised by my first visit here. The atmosphere is unique, including customer art on the wall! The service from Jin was exceptional. I enjoyed some very pleasant and stimulating conversation that was well above the small talk level; to the point that I am now very interested in visiting Korea! As for the food, I tried the 4 piece fried chicken and Jin was even able to get me 2 different flavours which they don’t normally do. I enjoyed the Spicy Pelicana and the Soy and both were cooked to perfection and full of flavour. I was worried the soy would be too strong but it was just right, subtle and tasty! I am looking forward to my next visit when I can try the next level of spicy and for sure the green onion soy which sound mouth wateringly delicious.

Through COVID, there has been a lot of eating at home. I often get Korean to go. There are a new rash of Korean establishments on the south side all serving varieties of Korean delights. In this very same block, in fact, there are two other Korean establishments serving up food. But the fried chicken isn't on all other menus...so sometimes I end up making two stops. ✌️😂 I come to Pelicana for chicken. Plain and simple. There are other well known fried chicken stops in Edmonton but they are further away from me. So this is a reliable deep south stop for me to get some Korean fried goodness as a compliment to my other dishes. You won't be disappointed with their food by any means. Inside its a quaint little stop with graffiti adorning the walls giving it a hip vibe. It's such a tiny location though in a strange strip that I passed by it three times even though I had it on Maps. I hope they can survive there amidst the influx of Korean food all around this block, on Calgary Trail and on 34th avenue. Pricing is high as some have noted but the food is also generous. It's not really ideal as a singular meal for one person I find...I can eat a lot and I end up putting away some for the next day because it's so much. But it's JUST chicken with some pickled radish on the side. I do prefer other establishments that offer their chicken with other sides, less chicken and a lower price. Unless you just want to eat the chicken... 🐔😉 Otherwise, I do love this place a lot.

Tasty Korean style chicken. Has several varieties of flavors. I tried the Pelicana spicy chicken, the soy chicken and the cheese chicken. The spicy version was moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. The spicy sauce was the right combination of spicy and sweet. Unfortunately the other 2 flavors I found lacking in taste, didn't really taste the soy or the cheese. You can buy a half order(8 pieces)or whole order of chicken (16 pieces). Be aware that you won't get the whole piece of chicken breast or thigh, they are cut into smaller pieces to count as two pieces, you do get the whole wing and drumstick. If other places like Popeyes, Mary Brown or KFC tried to cut up their chicken breast or thigh, there would be alot of dissatisfied customers, but because there are few Korean fry chicken places they can get away with this.

I just love this place. The service time is good and customer service is friendly. The chicken is so tender and crispy plus a lot of choices from all kinds of hot and or spicy chicken. Over all experience is great.
