We went there 2 days in a row back to back. I brought 5 red bean taiyaki the 1st day only because the man had an attitude and also didn't want to make me the vanilla cream ones. The red bean taiyaki was pretty good and had a bit of a crunch when it was warm but kinda less so when it turned cold and soggy. A good point was that the red bean filling was not overly sweet like in some other dessert fillings. My sister and niece went back the next day to get more and was met with "What do you want?" in a really testy, I can't be bothered with you kind of questioning when it was their turn to order. This time he did make the vanilla cream ones but his overall attitude soured us to the patroning experience. Not sure we would go back again based on piss poor attitude alone. BTW, the vanilla cream ones were just ehhhh! read more

Delimanjoo - Red Bean Taiyaki - Desserts Near Me - Ellicott City, Maryland

What a great value! I would recommend the red bean filled fish if you like red bean, if you don't then get the vanilla creme. The vanilla creme is basically a custard. Very good and not too sweet! They are made to order. Piping hot! The small fish are very cute but I felt that they didn't have enough filling. read more

Delimanjoo is a hidden gem in Ellicott City - their taiyaki is a must-try! The stand is located inside Lotte Plaza, all the way down left from the entrance. They sell roll cakes, Korean pastries, and snacks, but my go-to since childhood has been their taiyaki - fish-shaped pastries with red bean custard filling. They're always served fresh and hot, which is a plus. The ladies running the stand are sweet as well, and it's pretty grab-and-go. Each fish costs $2.50, which is higher than before, but reasonable. I highly recommend checking this place out! I often find myself craving taiyaki, so I'll certainly be back. read more

Love their boongappag always!! My favorite place!! They also accept a call for order ahead of time.

Eh. Wasn't impressed with the service. It was likely due to a language barrier, but the gentleman working definitely wasn't interested in helping me out. Came for the taiyaki, but left without ordering as they had no ice cream that afternoon. Also, although chocolate and vanilla were mentioned on the menu as a filling option, red bean was only available. If you're thinking about making a deotur to come here, suggest you think twice. read more

It's a food stall inside of lotte mart but it's amazing. I had two of the Taiyaki and they were perfect. Like packed waffles with red bean paste inside and at 2.50 each! I want to pick one up everytime I'm in the area and wish they were closer. There are other yummy snacks such as the tofu skins which were sweet and the super fluffy bread that my daughter said "it's like eating a sweet fluffy cloud." read more

Visited Delimanjoo to get Taiyaki, and it did not disappoint! We saw them being made fresh. They were warm, sweet and delicious! Their pricing is also very reasonable. They only had red bean when we went, but they apparently have different flavors (vanilla and chocolate). We hope to revisit and try a new flavor! read more

Had a hankering for the fish-bread so decided to try. Very affordable at $2 a piece. Outside is crunchy and inside is filled with red beans. Yummy! Wish they had more you buy more you save kind of a deal. I tried this first in LA and they had value deals. read more

Delimanjoo - (literal translation: fish bread) - Desserts Near Me - Ellicott City, Maryland

Surprise surprise I love the chewy mochi like with crispy crust in the outside of bungeoppang at this stall. It is inside Lotte food court. Bungeoppang is a korean version of Japanese taiyaki pastry with red bean filling. read more

First the lady who was running the counter was rude and acted like we were bothering her! We drove 20 mins to try the fish cakes, and my girls were very excited for them. They smelled amazing but they were not a win for us I'm sure other people love them but not my kids. Won't be back more because of the rude lady read more

Bungeoppang, or tayaki, or red bean filled fish cake pastry is the hot item from this little food stall in the Lotte grocery store complex. Hot off the grill, the pastry is crispy on the outside and warm and chewy on the inside. The red bean paste is perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. At $2 a piece, it's a good deal to tie your hunger over until you get home with your groceries. Currently do not have the J shaped ice cream thing, the owner said something to do with covid? Oh well, will just have to come back for it later! read more

Red bean pancakes are awesome :-) Freshly made on site with a crispy outside, chewy dough, and sweet red bean filling. Seriously good. The service other baked items are comparable to the other bakeries around here. I have not tried to gelato yet ... depending on how that is, it might be 5 stars next time i update this review! Note: Credit card is accepted with a $5 minimum order. read more

It looks better than what it actually tastes. First off, they have a ton of sample spoons next to the ice cream but get really angry and say no if you ask for a sample. I went ahead and tried it out anyways...come to find the cute little fish cone/bread is actually frozen and hard. They pre-preserve it for their own convenience so I couldnt actually eat it which was sad. I enjoyed the custard in the inside, definitely not worth trying again, especially considering their horrible customer service! read more

I wasn't sure whether or not I could ask for freshly made delimonjoo, but I got a small pack and brought it home to microwave (10/10 when hot for sure). read more

Excellent baked goods. Very nice staff and an excellent little bakery in the local supermarket.

Nice place for a break and the food tastes good. I'd recommend here for a nice break place.

Was so excited about this place opening! They make these little fish pastries that are filled with red bean (bigger size) or sweet cream (snack size.) They're so delicious, and freshly made by this cute couple that owns the place. They also have other prepackaged sweets/bread, gelato, and drinks for you to buy. It's the perfect dessert after getting food at the lotte food court. read more

Attendant wasn't wearing a mask inside. But that's not the real reason I'm sad about the visit. We walked up to the kiosk and I guess the attendant was talking to his friend because he ignored us completely. We decided not to be rude and take a look around the small venue and as we were looking at the ice cream flavors the gentleman looked at us as he left his kiosk to walk outside and smoke with his friend. Very poor customer service, didn't get to try or buy anything. read more

This place gets 5 stars for its taiyaki (red bean filled fish), since it's the only thing I've tried here.. It's the perfect mix of crunchy/chewy, and there's plenty of delicious red bean filling in each fish. Each fish is $2 (a pretty good deal compared to the $3-4 ones I had in NYC). read more

Rude..and I haven't even made it there. First time calling in.. she said hello in Korean. I asked where their store is located. She stayed silent. I finally hung up after 20 secs. Then I called back and asked where they're located. She asked me what do you mean where we're located? I said your business..where are you located? Then she just hung up on me. read more

This little stand is in Lotte. It took me a while to figure out. I stopped for ice cream but they told me they arent doing ice cream right now. Total bummer! read more

Super delicious red bean taiyaki! The outside is so crispy while the inside is soft, moist, and slightly mochi-like. Delimanjoo is one of my favorite dessert spots in Maryland - I come here a few times a month. I'm addicted! read more

Tastes great and good coffee. We tried the red bean cake that is too cute! Fish shaped! Has a crispy outside and warm soft inside. read more

Delimanjoo - Fish Cake with Red Bean!!! Yummy! - Desserts Near Me - Ellicott City, Maryland

This is a stall in the Lotte Plaza and it has delicious baked goods and friendly owners. We bought a large assortment of items to try and none disappointed. My favorites were the donut twists and the butter cream filled rolls. The cream or red bean paste filled fish are good too. We will definitely go back. read more

The delimanjoo little custard fish are SO good. I wish they would sell larger quantities. The owners seem pretty nice as well! Would recommend read more

It's.So.Good. I'm so glad I discovered this place - through Yelp. I always got these when I was in Korea, every chance I got and there was one location in Virginia that sold these but wasn't able to visit as much. They have a variety of options but mostly the fishes will either be filled with custard or sweet red bean filling. I've only tried the small fishes with custard and the boongohbbang with sweet red bean filling. As another reviewer said - these are perfect with coffee! I'll have to go back to try the other options/drinks. read more

I love this place! It's inside the Lotte by the food court area. I have had a few different things from them now so I feel it's time for a review... My husband and I got a roll cake to share at a holiday gathering and it was very tasty. I got a mango bubble tea last night and it was delicious. I have had some really mediocre bubble teas so it really stands out to get a good one. We also got some of the small fish shapes pastries with cream inside. Sooo good! The larger red bean shaped fish (bungeoppang) was good too and hot when we bought it. I did like the small fish better though. Also, it's cool to see the owners making these delicious treats right there. read more
