Mango Berry

Small and located in a Korean food market where all you can pick a cafeteria food. Mango Berry is the only dessert place and sells your favorite bubble tea but did not like it how they were made. The red bean bread cannot buy it 1 piece but a plate of 6 – 12 quantity — that’s disappointing I did not even get to try it.

This place is tucked into the plaza with all the other Korean restaurants. I ordered a pineapple coconut smoothie and it was quite expensive (~$ 5)and tasted filled with artificial flavorings.

PSA: DO NOT ORDER THE BUBBLE TEA
I guess this was my mistake. I usually just get the korean donuts but was really craving bubble tea after spending too much time at Hmart. I’d never seen anyone else order the bubble tea– that should have been a sign. Anyways… against my better judgement, I caved and decided to try the taro. 2 minutes later I received a bright purple liquid with maybe 10 tapioca balls on the bottom. Two sips later and I threw it straight in the trash. The horrid concoction was POWDERY, and not remotely sweet (I guess they didn’t put in enough powder?) It felt like I was drinking crushed chalk mixed with milk. To add insult to injury the mess was $ 5. Really? even the best boba places don’t charge $ 5.
To the owners of this place: Please just stop serving it. Its insulting to your customers to be presented with such inedible junk.

I am psyched to find a place that sells the fish-​shaped pastries. The red bean paste will always be my favorite, but my husband wanted chocolate; I found it a bit rich. Our dinner consisted of 5 of these, plus the red bean shaved ice.
The red bean shaved ice is huge, but largely water /​ice. The vanilla ice cream that came with seemed a bit old and chewy.

This is review is solely based on the ‘black milk bubble tea’… first off, $ 5 for bubble tea?! That’s a pretty steep margin. I was craving it this afternoon and I haven’t had one in a while so I figured, why not? I walked into the little shop, paid and then she gave me two options for how i would like it. I was caught off guard by this question because it simply hasn’t been asked before. I just requested regular. She promptly proceeded to prepare it. I found it odd when she filled a cup with water and grabbed a tub of powder from a nearby table. Next, i heard a blender turn on. In less than 40 seconds, my bubble tea was ready. I took about 3 sips — it was unbearably sweet. I enjoy my teas like I enjoy my coffee — sans sugar. I was also in disbelief that my black milk tea just came from a powder… for 5 dollars…
Black milk tea should consist of black tea and milk, right? The drink wasn’t even consistent, as the powder still sank to the bottom. I threw it out after the 3^rd sip. They can do better.

I love mango berry!!! I’ve gone 3 times in 2 weeks !!! I got two bubble teas today in fact! I needed more it’s so good!

Located in the shopping center with the sign Hanoori Town hanging out front.
THE BING SOO — So, I was all hyped about trying what looked to be a DELISH dessert from all the colorful, full pictures that were posted and I have to say I was sadly disappointed! I know that advertisement pictures can be overrated… especially the one posted in the store, but I just knew my bing soo was going to come out looking like the real life pictures posted on Unilocal!What I got was an odd shaped bowl full of ice and 2 little lumps of ice cream def. not an equal ratio! Also the fruit was out of season and only a small drizzle of chocolate syrup on top. I asked for the one with just the variety of fruit, but in error I believe the lady piled HIGH the bean mixture which was very dry looking and the least bit appetizing. The pictures showed pineapples, kiwi and strawberry. There were no pineapples and the other fruits were few to none and bitter. I was so disappointed that I even showed the lady the pictures from Unilocal and all she could tell me was «we have different owner now»…Wow, nice for business! The lady, not sure if she was the owner or not was not mean just not welcoming, it could of been a language barrier as well. I was happy that when I asked for more fruit on top she provided some with no hesitation.
CHOCOLATE FISH– These on the other hand tasted how I expected, like chocolate pancakes… nothing to rave over but solid.
Overall I will not be visiting Mango Berry again: (Unhappy Foodie!

I’ve always referred to this place as the dessert place within Hanoori Town. Well… I finally decided to call it by it’s correct name — Mango Berry!
This is definitely the best Korean dessert/​snack place in the area. No only can you get great frozen yogurt, Mango Berry offers an assortment of drinks, from coffee and bubble tea to smoothies and the like.
Best yet, I love the bingsoo and the random freshly cooked Korean cakes/​treats they make.

Love their iced coffee! Coffee isn’t bitter, which is great!
Definitely recommend their freshly baked walnut cookies/​cake. Warm, soft and not overbearingly sweet!

$ 1 for a red bean fish please! It almost tastes like a fish shaped crêpe filled with red bean. Next time I will try the chocolate one. I mean both are only $ 1 &the red bean didn’t disappoint.

This review is based on the bubble tea alone. I have been dying to find a decent bubble tea place in Baltimore for YEARS, but to no avail. Everything has sucked! Last week, after getting some Korean food at Hanoori Town, my boyfriend and I stopped at Mango Berry to get some bubble tea. I had my fingers crossed that this place would offer up the bubble tea I had been searching for, and lo and behold it did! THANK GOD. I got the Taro bubble tea, and it was absolutely delicious! It was blended perfectly, and the tapioca was on point (not too hard, not too chewy, and flavorful but not overpowering). The Taro was very purplely blue, but nothing about it tasted artificial. I was in bubble tea heaven. Finally there’s a place in Baltimore that will satisfy my bubble tea cravings!

The froyo quality has declined. It isn’t what it used to be. It is now a self serve one flavor, and it isn’t worth buying. It looks like they switched their focus elsewhere… to bubble tea and bingsoo. So, all hope is not lost.
Their bubble tea is fantastic. Fanfreakingtastic. I ordered a taro bubble tea. It was blended with ice, so it was like a frappé almost. The flavor didn’t have an off-​putting artificial taste. It was a blue-​purple, very festive color. I tried bubble tea at a few other spots, and this is by far the best in the DMV area.

I tend to come to Hanoori Town with my parents on weekends for lunch/​dinner and I pretty much always have to stop by the little Mango Berry shop. I got the twist version of the frozen yogurt and the berry was better — I’ll definitely be getting only that next time. The guy working gave a ridiculously large amount of the yogurt, strawberries, and kiwis — everything was fresh and yummy. We also get the pat bing soo whenever we come and they always give generous helpings as well, especially with the red bean — other places like Shilla tend to skimp on that when that’s the whole point of pat bing soo!

So it looks like the second yogurt machine (that never seemed to work in the first place) finally crapped out because it has since been removed from the store. You’re now down to two flavors only, but thankfully the mixed berry always seems to be one of them! Even if you’ve filled up on food in Hanoori, your stomach will still make room for the tasty, tangy, frozen goodness that can only be found here. Trust me.

Wife and I found ourselves wanting fantastic Korean food, and the food served around the corner from this spot is the closest place there is to where I live. It was a pretty hot day when we were here so seeing that they have smoothies available, we ordered a kiwi-​strawberry. It was very tasty and fresh. The lady behind the counter was helpful in trying to help us decide what to try.

After picking up lunch inside of Hanoori, I stopped by here for desert. I am a fan of frozen yogurt, and this was by far the best froyo I’ve ever had. The medium vanilla was delicious, and the kiwi and strawberry were both fresh! The really nice lady working there even put my froyo inside of a bigger cup because it was spilling over, and she managed to save the two little strawberries that fell out into the kiwi. It’s still little things such as those that really make me want to go back.
Totally worth the $ 5.03, and it was delicious and amazing.

Mangoberry sells the tart-​style frozen yogurt in H Mart’s Catonsville shopping center that is definitely picking up a Korean style. It’s inside the Hanoori World section of the center, which also includes a large, casual restaurant and a basement store that sells home goods (including bento boxes).
Mangoberry’s yogurt fits the current trend of yogurt that is slightly-​sour or flavored with green tea or fruit. You pick a yogurt and then toppings that tend to be fruit, breakfast cereal or exotics like mochi. This is the trend that brought Yogiberry to the Columbia Mall and hordes of Pinkberry to the streets of LA and New York. Bottom line: All these yogurt places are expensive, but Mangoberry is definitely worth a visit. My wife and I think Yogiberry has the most-​interesting yogurt, but Mangoberry offered an enormous number of toppings (including red beans, which I thought were delicious, but my wife thought tasted too much like beans) — plus we got to poke around the Hanoori Home Plaza and shop at H Mart.
The real secret: Bring your own toppings. Maybe I’m cheap, but $ 1 per topping seems expensive for what looks like a few teaspoons of chopped frozen fruit. So we bought an entire bag of mochi at the H Mart based on a Chowhound post by bmorecupcake. Mochi are slightly-​sweet, chewy candy made from rice and sugar. We enjoyed several rounds of these adult gummy bears — eating them off the top and then re-​covering the yogurt. Walk into H Mart and turn left. Look for the $ 2.99 blue bag of mochi in the top shelf of the refrigerator section next to the video rental place. (Bring your extras home, and you can top a few quick desserts if you get the frozen yogurt at the BP Market in Maple Lawn.)

$ 0.99 for a small froyo on weekdays. For that price, I could actually afford to like froyo. Note the price applies to «weekdays» and not weekends — not sure if that includes Fridays. Toppings are a buck per. As Jean L. mentioned it’s one of only froyo places in the area. The product tastes a bit creamier than most places I’ve been to.
The store is located inside the Hanoori Food Court — so if you’re driving about look for «Hanoori» and not «Mango Berry» signs. Though slightly nicer than it’s food court companions, the place isn’t a looker. In fact, I think it looks a bit tacky. Let’s just say it’s sparkly. You’ll understand if you stop by.
The employee was quick to help, honest, and friendly. Despite it’s shortcomings I had to edge it up to 4 stars due to the great customer service and unbeatable price.

I went for their frozen yogurt, which I thought was okay. Like others have said, it’s not as tangy as the ones you might find at other places and I thought the yogurt itself didn’t taste as flavorful. I got a medium with 3 toppings and shared with my husband. The funny thing is, their small is a shallow wide cup, and their medium is a cup that is taller but narrower. They pile up the yogurt pretty high, but the cup is so small that the poor guy helping us had to spend so long packing the toppings on, and even then it wasn’t much. Plus, a mochi fell onto his hand and he just picked it up and put it back into the yogurt… Their specials with 3 toppings were $ 5.49 for medium and like $ 7.69 (i don’t remember exactly) for a large, so it’s not exactly cheaper by much. I’ll go back to try the bingsoo or maybe get my yogurt fix, but only until Yogiberry opens in the mall.
*Update* as of September 2009:
They seem to have lowered their prices a bit. Maybe 2.5 stars? It’s cramped… not that having a Yogiberry stand in Columbia Mall (vs. an actual store) is that much better spacewise…

So lucky I saw the picture outside of Hanoori… they recently renovated the inside and so I guess this place is pretty new. Anyways, they serve shaved ice topped with whatever topping you want — strawberry, red bean, fruits, etc. they also have patbingsoo aaaaannnnddddd frozen yogurt! Woooo!!! A little bit cheaper than the one in Rockville. Smoothies and Waffles also served. Haven’t tried anything except for the Patbingsoo but it was good enough to have me come back to it next time. Besides, it’s the only place I know that have froyo somewhat near Baltimore.
Bottom line: you can get your froyo fix here =)
