Non-sausage option in Terminal 2: Mangostin Airport does Asian
At Munich Terminal 2, Mangostin Airport is one of the only spots doing Asian-fusion and sushi instead of schnitzel and sausages, and it’s firmly in the $$$ bracket. You’ll find it airside in T2, handy if you’re on Lufthansa or another Star Alliance carrier and want something beyond Bavarian pub food.
The menu runs from maki and nigiri to Thai-style curries and other pan-Asian dishes, so you can get sushi or a red curry instead of another pretzel. Expect airport markups: a sushi plate or curry can easily hit low-20s euros once you add a drink. This is a sit-down setup, so budget at least 40–60 minutes if your flight leaves from a Schengen T2 gate.
Sushi quality lands in the “fine for an airport” zone, according to frequent flyers comparing it with other hubs. One Reddit regular called it “passable sushi for an airport” and flagged it as a treat-yourself choice rather than an everyday option. Go for basic salmon, tuna, or veggie rolls and single nigiri pieces if you care more about taste than presentation.
Hot dishes like Thai curries and stir-fries draw mixed comments: flavors are solid, but several reviews mention slow service when multiple long-haul departures bank around the same hour. If you’re leaving on an afternoon wave of Lufthansa flights, order something quick like gyoza, edamame, or a small sushi set instead of a full curry course.
Regulars warn that sushi is prepared in batches, so during mid-morning or mid-afternoon lulls, your rolls might have been sitting for 20–30 minutes. To hedge against that, skip the big combination boats and ask which items were made most recently; then build a smaller set from those pieces.
Tip: Check your gate in T2 before you sit down; Mangostin can be a 10–15 minute walk from some remote Schengen gates, and you don’t want to sprint with soy sauce on your shirt.
