Skip those overpriced würst stalls at Viktualienmarkt charging €8 for tourist curry sauce. Steinheil 16 on Steinheilstraße in Maxvorstadt serves the best currywurst in Munich for €6.50. Small local spot near U2 Hohenzollernplatz where students and locals actually eat. They're not trying to be fancy - just perfect spiced sauce and proper bratwurst.

Open until 1am so you can grab one after the beer halls close around midnight. The owner knows regulars by name and they do proper crispy fries that actually complement the curry sauce instead of drowning in it. Reserve ahead if you're going during evening rush - only about 8 seats total but worth the wait.
