Only one fully vegan option? In 2026? the vibe is great and the servers are lovely, I love it here, but... not even one tofu dish?

Food was Delicious, service was quick and efficient and we'll be back! Reservations are not accepted, but there were plenty of tables when we arrived. The menu is Mexi-Thai and is unique and delicious! The Beverage program is alcohol driven with mixers being the only NA options available ( no iced tea... ) The ThaiMex tacos, Chorizo Rangoon, and Kow Soi are not to be missed. It's in the old Tribe Space, so right on the street car line with a Fantastic Patio when it's that season. read more

Muni was a suggested place by my mom and it is a hidden gem the chorizo crab Rangoon is to die for, and I got the hot honey chicken sandwich which was big and filling, the fries were also on point, and very good, just packed full of flavor. When ordering the hot honey chicken sandwich ask for a side of hot honey, you will thank me later. My wife got the tacos and she fell in love, she said they were so good, and I know they were because they're were no leftovers I definitely recommend this place to try you will not be disappointed read more

Great little place in the River Market area. I'm a sucker for fusion and innovative cusine. Nice bar/ restaurant atmosphere. Servers were nice and attentive. Obviously the food is the most important thing though, and it didn't dissapoint. We had the Birra Dumplings, the Smash Dat Muni, and the Braised Beef Kow Soi. Everything was delicious! Outside of it actually being a dumpling, the flavor was cheese and Mexican beef along with the dipping sauce. Loved the flavor. The burger too, with a nice layer of caramelized onions was cooked to perfection and it had a great bun too (I like good buns and I cannot lie.) The curry was delicious and had just the right amount of heat. Also just throwing this out there even though it seems obvious - if your partner/date/friend/whatever had fries, you need to dip the fries in the curry. If you've never done this, you'll thank me later. read more

Not gonna lie, at first my boyfriend and I weren't sure about this place. But, boy, were we wrong--Muni is so, so great! The cherry on top of this whole experience was our server, Diamond. She was so kind, very attentive despite how busy it was, and incredibly helpful when making our drink and food choices. The other staff were so great, too; our waters stayed full, dishes were continually cleared out of our way, they even unpaused the TV when it stopped! The food and drinks were incredible. I got the KC Loaded Nachos and the something Fizzy mocktail with vodka added. The nachos were so filling and had a great balance of flavors. The drink was refreshing and not too sweet. My boyfriend got the Thai Tacos and said they were phenomenal too. 11/10 experience! Cannot wait to come back and try everything else on the menu. read more

Muni is now open for brunch!! Perfect place to kick off a City Market weekend adventure starting at 10 am on Saturday and Sunday. Their brunch menu is just as delicious as their dinner menu. The Chinoquiles were flavorful and delicious with pulled pork and coconut curry salsa. The fried chicken biscuits and gravy came with stunning roasted potatoes. They also have a great brunch cocktail menu (including a blue drink with a rubber duck floating on it). Can't wait to come back to try more of the brunch menu! read more

I've been wanting to try Muni for a while so I was excited to finally get the opportunity. I stopped in to order some grub to go but the bar was pretty full. The staff were gracious enough to allow me to hang out at a table, order my food and have a drink while I waited. I ordered the Havana Club: old Tom gin, apricot, Swedish punsch, and lemon. This drink was so good, I wish I had a gallon of it. It was so refreshing but with lots of flavor. My Boyfriend tried the old fashioned and enjoyed it. The food came out super fast. And I really liked the way they packaged it. It was not just thrown together but was actually thought out. And I have to say that everyone we encountered was so nice and professional. Food. We started with the birria dumplings: Fried birria beef dumplings, cheese crust, consume, queso chihuahua, cilantro. So delicious! Like I would honestly order these as an entree and be happy as a clam. Good flavor. Highly recommend. For an entree, it was the hot honey chicken sandwich: Battered fried chicken, Thai chili Salt Creek Farms hot honey, lettuce, Asian slaw, brioche bun, spicy mayo, served with fries. They put the slaw on the side which is a huge A+ from me. That saved that delicious chicken from getting soggy. The sandwich had a nice heat but wasn't over the top spicy. Portion size was large. And I absolutely loved it! I'd definitely order and eat this again. The fries were also really good-nice and crispy. My boyfriend went with the Smash Dat MuNi: Two quarter pound beef smash patties, chili jam caramelized onion, American and Provolone cheese, spicy mayo, brioche bun, served with fries. He liked it plus he really liked the slaw that came with my sandwich. I have nothing negative to say. This was a 10/10 experience and I look forward to returning to eat and drink more tasty stuff. read more

Amazing G&T, loved the menu when they first opened and always want to go back and try new things. Loved the birria dumplings

I loved everything about this meal. I had a cocktail that involved banana and it was delicious. For dinner we split a bunch of apps including wings, birria dumplings, thaiquitos, empanadas and chorizo rangoon and everything was amazing!!!! Our waitress was friendly, made recommendations and the service was quick. It was pretty empty on a Sunday at 430 pm but it's a cute place, looks about like it did when it was Tribe. read more

Muni is filling a hole in the KC food scene by offering Asian/mexican fusion. The menu is genuinely exciting because they've taken our favorites from both food genres and paired them creatively. From what we ordered - I thought the apps were fine, not much to call home about but still fun to try something unique. Now the carne asada kow soi is the reason I'm telling people that they have to visit. It was so flavorful and just like a hug otherwise known as comfort food. read more

Food is magic. The bartenders are the coolest human beings on planet Earth. The drinks are fantastic. I took a remote job and ended three friendships just so I can spend 8 hours a day eating their empanadas. read more

Muni is such a fun spot. The menu has a variety of Thai-Mexican fusion dishes. It feels creative without being intimidating, which I really appreciate, and I loved everything I tried. They also offer a solid variety of mocktails in addition to a full bar, making it a great option whether you're drinking or not. Bonus points for being located right across the street from the KC Street Car- so easy to get to. Between the food, drinks, and stylish atmosphere, this would be perfect for a girls' night or a date night. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to! read more

Stopped in at Muni in the River Market and had to try their Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich. Let me tell you, it's every bit as good as it sounds. The chicken was perfectly crispy, and the Thai chili salt creek farms hot honey adds a fantastic sweet and spicy kick. The Asian slaw and spicy mayo balanced everything out perfectly. This sandwich is absolutely delicious, but be prepared--it's super messy! You'll definitely need a stack of napkins, but it's totally worth the $16.00 price tag. The fries that came with it were also great. Our server was attentive and friendly, we'll definitely be back for another one of these sandwiches! It's a great addition to the neighborhood and definitely worth a visit in the vibes were on point! read more

Went in to try this place out for a Friday dinner, the place was cute and clean with a boho style vibe. Nice plants. The menu was very limited and mostly consisted of appetizers. We selected the wings and the Dumplings. These seemed more like pot sticker. I would like to see some more options of food and a better price point. They also didn't have happy hour. read more

Great place for food and drinks, or to pregame before going out to dinner. Service was great and very consistent. We had an array of different dishes, but our top favorites were the Chorizo Crab Rangoon. I know, it sounds interesting, right? But trust me order this creamy goodness! Next up was the Carne Asada Kom Sow - pan noodles, coconut curry sauce, and steak. Count me in! It was absolutely delicious, with a nice kick if you like spice. As for dessert, the churros were amazing, crispy and not too sugary on the outside, with a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth center. I can't forget the drinks! The Hibiscus Daiquiri was by far my favorite a delicious hibiscus drink that packed a punch. Definitely add Muni to your list. It was a hit! read more

Food and atmosphere are both fantastic. Bonus because they stay open late. The only thing I'd change is the sound system. They play great music, but experience us cheapened by tinny sounding speakers reminiscent of a cheap 1990's stereo system. read more

The food at this place is so unique and delicious! I saw on their menu online that they had these delicious fries and was disappointed when I saw the in person menu did not have this selection. The waiter suggested we substitute the nachos for fries and that was the best decision ever. The sauce was the perfect amount of creamy and savory paired with the pork. My favorite was the birria dumplings with consume. An insane do,binational that just worked so well. The only downside of this place is that they don't take reservations and are always busy. It was a 30 to 45 minutes wait and there is no seating area to wait other than outside. They also don't have a phone system to text or call you when the table is ready so you just have to be around and check back in. I would definitely try this place again but at a less busier time. read more

Muni - Empanadas, birria dumplings, nachos with fries - Burgers Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Left a $15 tip on $75 bill (20%). Paid with my credit card. On my monthly statement, I see that they charged me $225, which means they helped themselves to a $150 tip instead of $15. This restaurant has no listed phone number so I could not even call them to correct this. I had to correct it with my credit card company instead. And the food is bland too, so I feel like they robbed me twice. This is the second time they "accidentally" messed up my bill (the first time they charged me for entrees which I did not order or eat). Absolutely crooked place. read more

Read great things about this place but left underwhelmed. Started with the birria dumplings and rangoon (sorry forgot a photo). I was absolutely shocked when the order came out not even 2 minutes after we ordered. Like the server walked away and someone else came up with food which made it seem like they have stuff just on warmers and it's not prepared as a fresh order. The dumplings were smashed into one giant gooey dumpling thing that we had to cut into pieces. Flavor was pretty good but dry for a birria. Rangoon was fine. Got smash tacos and pozole with partner. Again, food came out super fast which was rather alarming. The tacos had good flavor but it seemed a little lacking on the fusion flavors. Pozole was salty and lukewarm with ok flavor overall. I will say the service was nice and efficient but overall underwhelmed by the food. read more

One of the best meals we've had In a while. Muni is a delicious and innovative Thai/Mexican fusion restaurant. Everything we had hit the spot, but our absolute favorites were the carne asada kow soi and birria dumplings. The menu offers an assortment of dishes that are great for sharing, almost a tapas vibe. Portions aren't huge, but still filling and don't lack in flavor. Drinks were just as fun and exciting as the food! Really enjoyed the hibiscus daiquiri and classic spicy marg (with a tajin rim obvs)! Service was kind and thoughtful, our server was very knowledgeable and helpful when it came to the menu and making selections. Overall, seems like an excellent addition to the river market area. I can't wait for them to open up the patio area! read more

Went to Muni for a Friday night dinner and loved it! Was crowded so got the last table available when we arrived but were waited on the quickly and food came to us quickly as well. Small but mighty menu - I LOVED the chorizo rangoons for the appetizers and the main dishes were solid. I got a Thai curry dish that was great (and had enough for leftovers) and my boyfriend got the smash burger which was pretty average. read more

The food was amazing! The curry is a must try! The empanadas were perfectly toasted! Who ever thought of a chorizo Rangoons deserves a Michelin star This is a restaurant that embodies fusion, each recipe was thought out and delicious! Perfect place for a first date, the tables are pretty close together so i wouldn't recommend groups larger than 5 IMO. Servers are very knowledgeable about the menu and helpful with choosing what's right for you! read more

Great spot with good food and drinks as well as good service. Get there early or be prepared to wait for a table.

What a beautiful Saturday night in KC and it was great to be out and about in the liveliness of the area in & around the River Market. Muni didn't disappoint! There were 7 of us and while the wait was a bit long (not unexpected for 7 on a Saturday night) we got drinks and brought them out onto the patio. We ordered the Hibiscus Daiquiri and Muni Margarita. The drinks were unique and a strong for us. Half of us focused on the variety of appetizers and the other half got a meal. Everything was extremely tasty and full of flavor. Three of us shared the Gapow Beef Empanadas (3), Birra Dumplings (5) and the huge KC Loaded Nachos. Others had the Tri Thai Tacos and Sticky Ribs. Everyone loved their meals. We loved the vibe of the Muni and the unique and delicious food choices. read more

When the opening of Muni was announced I was a little annoyed that it was yet another fusion restaurant. But at least it was only 2 countries being fused this time - Mexican and Thai. THEN I saw the menu and I was like THAI-quitos... I just don't know about this... Well i am here to tell you that I WAS WRONG. There is absolutely NO fusion confusion here. Muni is so damn good. All of the cocktails were delicious, as were the thaiquitos themselves and even the birra dumplings. I should've never doubted the team behind Buck Tui BBQ and James Beard semifinalist Waldo Thai. No reservations so visit on off hours or be prepared for a wait on the weekends. I genuinely can't wait to go back and try even more of the menu. read more

Loved Muni! The food was really tasty, and you could truly taste the Mexican-Thai fusion. We tried the Sticky Ribs, KC Loaded Nachos, and the Carné Asada Kow Soi. The Carné Asada Kow Soi was the highlight, followed by the nachos and ribs. The ribs were the only thing that wasn't the best in terms of Thai-Mexican flavors, but still delicious. I will say that the food is not super spicy at all. Personally, I could use more spice in the dishes to bring out the Thai flavors, but I'm sure you can request that with the server. The ambiance is really cute and cozy, with a bar in the middle of the restaurant. What I really liked is how they are open and serving food until 12:00 AM. So if you're looking for a late dinner or snack that's of good quality, you can count on Muni. The service was also really great. Our server was super sweet and took care of us the whole time. **The only thing that I can think of that would make this place even better is offering vegetarian options. All of their main menu items contain meat, so I think they can definitely reach a broader audience if they incorporate meatless entrees. read more

Sooooo... Thaï-Mexican? Dishes do cover that food distinction but there's more too! Our table tried: 1. MuNi Wings were hot, flavorful and the dips Sweet chili sauce were delicious, didn't like creamy tiger cry so much but my table mates loved it 2. Gapow Empanadas - pretty decent loaded with beef and rice... not enough cheese 3. Zaap Zaap Shrimp - simple grilled shrimp. 4. Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich just the right crispy, very juicy... just wish there was more Thai chili hot honey and spicy mayo to enhance the sandwich more! Loved the Asian slaw I'd definitely go back to try more dishes! The drinks are on the pricey side for the amount you're served but definitely filled with a rum punch and named flower! This is a great option in the River Market area! read more

This place is FANTASTIC! If you love Thai and Mexican you will love this. So unique and the food is fire. Their smash burger was delicious and the bun was soft and just perfection.

I walk down this street almost everyday so of course I had to check out the new restaurant, Muni. I was intrigued by the Asian / Mexican fusion concept (as someone who loves both) but I wasn't sure what to expect. Once we sat down, everything on the menu sounded good. We got the birria dumplings, city market rice bowl, sticky ribs, and the carne asada kow soi. All of the fused plates were great, would try them again. The sauces in the city market bowl and the kow soi was surprisingly spicy, in a good way! Menu items all seemed reasonably priced but potions were smaller than expected. Service was not the best. They were a bit busy for a Thursday night but died down eventually. Bar was backed up, server wasn't the most attentive. Will attribute this to the newness of the place and everyone still gathering their bearings. This won't discourage me, I'll be back soon! Parking: paid street parking, free street parking a couple blocks away, walkable, right by by the streetcarstop. read more

When we arrived, the restaurant was packing, but they moved fast! We were seated within 15 minutes of waiting. Service was quick and attentive. The restaurant is spacious and clean. Food came out really fast. Everything we ordered was delicious, especially the empanadas. The price is exactly what I expect to pay, especially in this prime location. I don't think it was pricey at all. However, I am disappointed at the most expensive item on the menu, curry kow sow. For $22, I expected to get more than 3 bites. The dish was packed with great flavors and spices, but the portion was so small. We ordered a few dishes as shareable but I left still feeling hungry. I think it is definitely worth checking it out. If I am in the area, I would stop by. But I probably won't order the kow sow again because of the small portion. read more
