Came by on a whim on labor day, everything on the menu sounded amazing so let's just say I ordered way too much and ended up taking most of it to go. The portion size and quality of food was awesome! The service we received was top notch and everyone came to check on us and make sure we loved what we ordered. I will definitely come back!

The crispy fried chicken was delicious with Korean flair! I definitely recommend the honey garlic sauce for the chicken. Also, the staff were very nice with the willingness to give you good food and service.

It was probably the best chicken resteraunt I've ever been to. The staff are so nice and the chicken is marvelous ! It represents Korean culture well and shows what a small but impressive resteraunt can do! If you're wondering where to go to eat next time, I recommend Pelicana! 11/10 service! Would eat here again.

Very good! I almost feel like this is a hiding gem. The dumplings were off the chain! Absolutely amazing! I definitely would get those again! The chicken tenders were very good too. The sweet and spicy sauce was delicious. Definitely will come again!

I had a wonderful experience at Pelicana! The chicken was perfectly cooked, crispy skin and flavorful. I especially liked the sauce options and I was able to try the Camembert white cheese powder and also the garlic honey. Both were incredible and the cheese powder was a nice surprise flavor wise! Excellent service and I recommend you check out this gem of a restaurant.

Honestly one of the best spots around for quality food. Not going to lie, it's not mcdolans cheap, but for the quality, underpriced. Best fried chicken I've had in Michigan by a longshot. Atmosphere is very welcoming. The owner is very hospitable and kind. Would 11/10 recommend the house ramen, dumplings, omu fried rice, and def get THE FRIED CHICKEN X100000! They dont skimp on portions, flavor or love here. Give the place a shot, youll probably unknowingly run in to me as often as i come here! TLDR version: give them some money and they make tummy happy c:

Update: I came back to dine in and they’re still amazing. AMAZING. The fried chicken is absolutely incredible. I got crispy wings with sweet & spicy sauce and it blows most fried chicken joints out of the park. The rose tteokbokki was also delicious. Perfectly creamy and spicy, 100/10. The portions were great as well and you can tell they put a lot of care into every order. The place is casual, very clean, and the staff were so sweet. Definitely coming back!!!

I got a to go order, but I've been wanting to check this place out. There are a few tables inside, typical for these restaurants. I had a glimpse of the white cheddar powder fries and the jumbo wings. They look super legit and I'll definitely be getting them next time. Rose Tteokbokki was so good. Great portion. I've never had it before but loved it. I also got the steamed dumplings. 2 chicken, 2 beef, 2 veggie. They were fresh and the dumplings were filling and had great flavor. This place is a hidden gem. If you're looking for something different, check it out.
