Quality of these little joints has dropped significantly. There's literally no fillings inside, I'm just eating the chewy bread pretty much. What a waste, I just bought 40 of them...I don't think you'll ever see me again here.

The mini taiyaki were so cute and good! Great to snack on and also makes a really cute gift.I tried the custard, sweet potato, and chocolate filled mini taiyakis and they were all good. Loved the chewy texture of the tapioca flour. I did confirm with the store that they aren't gluten free though for those who might be wondering.

They are located inside of the Hmart in Diamond bar. I bought 1 red bean Taiyaki, it's $3.50 for cash, $4 for credit card (+$0.5 surcharge).It's very tasty since they freshly made it on the spot, there was a 5 minute wait time.I love how the Taiyaki was made of mochi instead of flour. A happy experience overall.

I feel ripped off. I bought 20 for $15 today and there was no custard cream inside of them. Service was friendly so I give it 2 stars. I don't plan on coming back here as it's been consistently skimping.

Deli Manjoo is such a hidden gem; it's located in Diamond Bar, CA, inside the Super H-Mart's food court area. I first found out about this place when a friend had brought over mini-taiyakis, aka fresh delicious lucky fish, with a variety of flavors. I love taiyakis and it's a bit hard to find great taiyaki in LA . . . I know, right? Well, this place has it. The large ones are $3.50 each, and 4 for $12.00. Flavors include red bean, sweet potato, chocolate, custard, apple mango, and blueberry. The most popular are the red bean, custard, and sweet potato. I've had their red bean and sweet potato, and both are delicious and made fresh with great, generous filling. There's also options for snack bags or gift boxes. The snack bag is the better value, where you can get 6 pieces for $5, 12 pieces for $10, or 20 pieces for $15. The mini-taiyaki gift boxes include 12 pieces for $12, 24 for $20, and 36 for $28.00. They also have different types of gift boxes like the Mix Box and Hodoya (which are the round barley cakes with walnut and red bean paste filling)!The mini ones are cool because there are various flavors like custard, red bean, coffee, chocolate, sweet potato, walnut, and cream cheese. Overall, such a great place if you love taiyaki. Also, plenty of parking. Credit cards are accepted with a minimum purchase of $15. If not, there is an extra $.50 charge.

Love the large sweet potato taiyaki. The taiyaki is more mochi texture which makes it my fav. Sweet potato filling has been sweeter than before.. wish it’s less sweet

Checked out the Super H Mart in Diamond Bar after finding out that they sold fresh taiyaki and manjoo there at Deli Manjoo.I highly recommend trying the large taiyaki and it was one of the best taiyaki I have had. It had generous amounts of red bean filling and the outside had a nice mochi like chew to it.They have a variety of flavours to choose from.

They made the fish fresh on site. Tasty!

My experience here was amazing! I am probably biased because sweet potatoes are my favorite thing in the world and they have a sweet potato taiyaki. The service was really good though, and the selection is unique! Order: Sweet potato taiyaki: this flavor was so amazing honestly. I love sweet potatoes so my favorite I have had by far Blueberry cream: this flavor was super yum as well. It tasted like a blueberry pancake! Custard: Classic, can't go wrong with this flavor. It was pretty yummy.

This is a small shop inside the food court of Super H Mart. Got a bag of six small treats (you can mix any flavors of the Lucky Fish mini taiyaki and the corn manjoo) for $5 flat. Favorites were the cream cheese taiyaki and the coffee manjoo. The taiyaki batter is made from tapioca flour so it has a nice chewy texture - think mochi waffle. The manjoo batter is made from corn but has a soft texture, like sponge cake. The coffee flavor is really nice in the manjoo. The taro was decent but I'd rather try a new flavor next time. I didn't care for the peanut butter flavor taiyaki - the peanut paste filling inside was dried up. I'll be back again to try different flavors!
Honestly, this is what sets this H-Mart location aside from all the other ones that I have gone to. The inclusion of a taiyaki and other custard filled pastries is what is so hard to find, unless you go to a Korean dessert place, Somi Somi, or out to Little Tokyo or something. Glad that I have the option of getting this here and that it's affordable, though prices have definitely gone up since the first time that I have been here (many, many years ago). There's lots of options here. There's the large fresh taiyaki with your choice of filling and then there are the smaller pastries with different fillings, like the smaller taiyaki, corn, and walnut. Some filling that I have seen before are the standard custard and others such as red bean, chocolate, cream cheese, peanut butter, etc. I believe the walnut ones have real walnut bits inside them as well. I love the chewy mochi texture inside the taiyaki and I also enjoy the soft pound cake fluffiness of the corn (manjooya). They have drinks here too, but I have never tried. The smaller pastries are individually wrapped, so you can get them in a baggie or in a gift box. My only issue here is that for some of the smaller pastries, I've had really variable quality with them. Sometimes super delicious, other times mega spongy and unpleasant to eat (maybe microwaving these would be better). You can never go wrong with their fresh big taiyaki though!

Searching for something yummy, I came across a cute little shop inside H Mart called Deli Manjoo. Everything looked yummy, so we end up getting both the mini and the large size in different flavors. The mini tasted okay, but nothing beats the ones made to order (The larger ones). We tried sweet potato and blueberry cream cheese and I highly recommend those two flavors. Yum! If you are in the area, stop by and support this small business.

Deli Manjoo sells taiyaki. This place calls them lucky fish. They're in a food court located inside H-Mart Market in Diamond Hills Plaza Shopping Center. I ordered a set of 6 taiyakis with custard feeling which were served immediately. I also ordered a chocolate taiyaki. For the chocolate taiyaki, they gave me a pager that will beep when ready. I waited at least 10 minutes for the chocolate taiyaki. The custard filling was pretty good. The texture of the small taiyaki was soft and chewy. The chocolate filling wasn't that sweet, almost like rich dark chocolate. The chocolate was piping hot with the pastry having flaky and chewy texture. I enjoyed the custard taiyaki a bit more than the chocolate taiyaki. Will be back to try more of their taiyaki.

Located in the H Market. We love these baked goods. There used to be one in a nearby city, but closed down because of the pandemic. We ordered 4 flavors: Chocolate Red bean Blueberry with cream cheese Apple mango I loved the apple mango and blueberry ones! Then we bought minis as well but I forgot all the flavors we bought. All of these were tasty and I love it when it's freshly made. Employee was friendly. We just waited a few minutes while they were being prepared. Support your local businesses.

I love Deli Manjoo! It's located inside H-Mart Diamond Bar. Large taiyaki: They make these large taiyaki fresh to order and have an assortment of flavors (custard, red bean, chocolate, sweet potato, blueberry cream cheese, apple mango). The outside is super crispy, but also has a v nice chewy texture. They also really pack in the fillings, so every bite is perfect. 4 for $12 feels pretty reasonable for the size they are - just be careful not to bite into it too fast because the inside can be piping hot. Mini taiyaki: They make these mini versions of taiyaki that are also bomb. My favorite is the cream cheese filling, but they're all pretty good. Other flavors include custard, red bean, chocolate, and sweet potato. I love to take them home and put them in the toaster oven until the outside is crispy for a super satisfying snack. Other: the corn shaped and ball shaped mini snacks have a more spongy/cake-like texture if you're into that (the fish are made with tapioca). Overall, a great place for a treat that's not too sweet and v satisfying. $15 minimum charge for credit (or 50 cent extra charge for under $15). Or you can just pay cash. These also make for a great gift! (They have gift boxes available).
