For nearly two decades, Mongo Asian Food has established itself as one of the most recognizable and beloved Asian cuisine destinations in Thessaloniki. With three locations across the city, a distinctive logo now familiar to everyone, and a philosophy that combines quality with freedom of choice, Mongo stands out from other Asian restaurants.

The story of Mongo Asian Food begins in 2004, inspired by travels to European and Asian destinations and by its founders’ exposure to different gastronomic cultures. From the very beginning, the goal was to fill a clear gap in the Greek market at the time: ready-to-eat Asian food made with fresh ingredients, international influences, and affordable prices.

Today, 20 years later, Mongo remains faithful to its philosophy of balanced flavors, continuous renewal, and an experience tailored to each guest’s preferences.

Sushi Bar: The “heart” of Mongo

At the core of Mongo lies the sushi bar. A rich buffet allows guests to choose among maki, nigiri, inside-out rolls, sashimi, and gunkan, available in both classic and more modern combinations. There are no limits: you can choose from a single piece to as many combinations as you like, from a wide variety of seafood, vegetarian, and vegan options.

Sushi Dogs: The signature innovation

Mongo’s trademark is the sushi dogs – an original concept not found anywhere else in the city. Whole maki rolls served like hot dogs, with options such as tempura shrimp, grilled salmon or crab with Philadelphia sauce, as well as breaded chicken with sweet chili sauce. This street food concept “marries” sushi with the comfort and fun of trying something different, always finished with their own signature sauce that will win you over!

Ramen: Warm soups, ideal for winter

Ramen soups also hold a special place on the menu, available in two versions: vegetable or chicken. With rich broth, ramen noodles, and fresh vegetables, they are truly value-for-money options—ideal for the winter months, but also for anyone looking for a nutritious, filling meal that only an Asian menu can offer. Enjoy your choice accompanied by ingredients such as broccoli, carrot, Chinese cabbage, baby corn, leek, mixed vegetables, ramen noodles, and soy, and experience a complete meal that perfectly reflects the philosophy of Asian cuisine: like every successful Asian dish, Mongo’s ramen soup is composed of many flavor notes and delicate aromas, without feeling “heavy.”

Create your own dish

Mongo’s identity is further enhanced by the “create your own dish” concept. Guests choose their base (rice or noodles), meat or fish, vegetables, and sauce, creating a combination perfectly tailored to their taste.

At the same time, the menu includes bao buns—one of the crowd’s favorite choices with chicken, roasted duck, or breaded shrimp, loved by young and old alike—ready-made dishes, salads, appetizers, and vegan options, covering every dietary preference.

New “Mongo Bar Project”

Mongo’s innovative ideas don’t stop here. In the works is the “Mongo Bar Project,” a premium space with an à la carte menu, exclusively dedicated to sushi. It will operate on the upper floor of the store at 6 Ioanni Kouskoura Street, in the center of Thessaloniki. More details about this new “child” of the company will be announced soon through the brand’s official social media channels.

This project promises more refined choices and an expansion of the custom sushi philosophy, both through delivery and on-site dining, in the near future.

Enjoyment, in every way!

Mongo Asian Food operates on a self-service basis, in comfortable, renovated spaces, offering dine-in, take-away, and delivery options. It is a Far Eastern culinary experience that stands out—with history, imagination, and bold ideas—in spaces that invite you to create your own dish.

In other words, you can enjoy their offerings in every possible way. And especially if you are a sushi lover, you will be absolutely satisfied!
