The atmosphere and wait staff is wonderful. Food and drinks are amazing. We tried the chorizo rangoons, curry beef and Thai tacos. Their tiger cry sauce is fantastic. read more

Obsess with Muni! Muni is the newest addition to the River Market area. This is such a great spot to grab a drink and a bit to eat. So many delicious cuisines to choose from. Each dish is packed with tons of flavor. Highly recommend the Kow Soi. Cannot recommend enough! Parking is available. Open late. read more

The braised pork in the city market bowl was exquisite. It was cooked to perfection. The jasmine rice was light and fluffy. Something was pickled in the bowl too. Probably radishes but it was good as well read more

I've been so excited to try Muni since I first saw rumblings of it across social media. And I can say it's definitely a fun spot. My boyfriend and I made it there this week as we'd decided to check out the KC Museum during their late hours on Thursdays (great free activity and they have a soda fountain in the basement - go support that museum!) and it's maybe 8 mins from there. We got there around 7:30 and were seated right away. Service was incredibly prompt so we were able to put in our order right away: we split the chorizo Rangoon, birria dumplings, and Carne Asada Kow Soi. Rangoon were tasty. A couple of them opened in the frying process so they weren't all totally full of cream cheese deliciousness but they were so light and crispy and I'd definitely have them again. Birria dumplings were really good but probably were the weakest part of the meal. That is not to say they weren't worth ordering but I just didn't find them as exciting as the other dishes. The real star of the meal was the Kow Soi. Everyone has been raving about that dish on Yelp and Google and I agree with the reviews. Totally delicious. It was just on the edge spice-wise for me so if you are really cautious with spice, this might not be for you. But it's just so good! We did decide to wrap up the meal with a dessert. They don't have a posted menu but they have cheesecake churros, which we got, and a chocolate cake. I asked the server if there was anything special about the chocolate cake and he said there was a twist but that it was too secret. Neither of us were feeling chocolate that night and really the churros were delicious. Crispy as could be with that yummy cream cheese filling. All in all, we just loved the meal. I just don't know when we'll go again, as we live down south, but I'd definitely put it in my rotation if I lived closer and try some more options! read more

After months of anticipation we finally got to eat at Muni! After drooling at all the online pics it did not disappoint. We decided to try a bunch of small plates (even though I really need to try the smashburger). We got the Thai-quitos, sticky ribs, birria dumplings, and beef empanadas. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. The empanadas were my favorite, super flaky and crispy. We were missing our birria dumplings and after I asked about them, the manager comped them and they literally came out one minute later. Our server was so attentive and the service was great. I can't wait to try everything else on the menu! read more

Slightly expensive experience at new upscale restaurant in the River Market. I wanted to try this place out since it opened recently. I love the area and loved the restaurant that was in the building before this opened so I was excited to try it out. The vibe was a mixture of Thai and Mexican cuisine. There was a variety of food and drink options. They were all out of the box and creative fusion options. I chose to snack on the Gapow Beef Empanadas and the Chorizo Rangoon's. They were both very good and we were able to split with the table. There were 3 of us. I would like to come back to try some of their signature cocktails soon. read more

I came in here on a Tuesday night. It was busy, so my friends and I grabbed seats at the bar. I ordered an "El Diablo" to start which is a tequila and ginger beer drink. It was refreshing. I glanced over the food menu and there is only one vegan/vegetarian option. The nachos look like they could probably be modified vegetarian. In any case, the one veg item was totally worth it. The Tri Thai tacos with jackfruit absolutely knocked my socks off. They were a perfect combo of spice and flavor. Be forewarned, the sauce is hot! If you're not a fan of heat, be wary... but if you are, these are for you. Speaking of heat, I got a "Fist of Fury" next. It comes with a two pepper sign warning. It did not disappoint. It is a Thai chili and basil infused vodka drink combined with ginger beer and Velvet Falernum. Combined with the tacos, my mouth was on fire and I was in heaven. Our bartenders were great (especially Jeni). I will 100% come back here in the near future. I do wish they had more veg options, but if I only have one option, I guess I can tough it up for those tacos! read more

Yum!!! Last night spot just opened in the River Market. I met some friends here and we got to share a bunch of plates. They were all so good, and really sharable. the Carne Asada Kow Soi might be one of my favorite dishes on the menu. It's a curry noodle dish, which carne asada. The sticky ribs were so good, smoked with a sweet glaze. And the Big Back fries. Oh another favorite is their wings. HOLY MOLY their wings, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It's so good with their creamy tiger cry sauce. You guys gotta go check out this new spot for yourselves. They're flavors are a Thai x Mexican fusion. read more

Some friends and I went after a Current game on a Saturday night, which we thought and it seemed like we may have a long wait, but the kitchen got food out so quickly and we only maybe waited 10-15 minutes. The service was excellent and friendly. Between us we ordered the rice bowl, 2 carne asada kow soi, some taquitos, and the nachos. I believe everything was enjoyed by everyone. Specifically I loved the flavors, spice, and homemade style noodles in the kow soi. I took some of the thom yum pozole home with a box of tortilla chips and they went perfectly together. The broth had so many great flavors and I loved the textures of the hominy and chips and soup together. I would come back for either of these dishes and try all the rest! read more

My wife asked me where i wanted to go for my birthday dinner and I immediately said - Muni. As soon as I first read about Muni's pedigree and planned menu, I put them at the top of my "must do' list before they ever opened 3 weeks ago. We arrived around 5 pm on a Saturday night and waited less than 15 minutes before being seated at the bar. I started with a Muni Margarita - a Serrano infused Tequila - bold, spicy and potent. My wife and I then shared 3 small plate offerings. The Sticky Ribs were 3 smoked and grilled pork ribs, covered in a sweet honey hoisin sauce with green onions and chopped peanuts, served on a bed of Asian Slaw; tender meat and ridiculously tasty. Gapow Beef Empanadas - ground beef, Thai basil, rice and serrano all deep fried in a empanada casing, with a Creamy Tiger Cry Sauce for dipping. A perfect concoction of textures and flavorings. I could eat these all day long and drink the sauce. Birria Dumplings were another Thai / Mexican fusion dish that has finally been created and will soon become a staple on any world kitchen menu. My favorite find of this decade has been Birria so I knew it would be a must try. The tender, marinated beef birria encased in a dumpling, deep fried and covered in a crisp cheese crust and a cup of the most savory consomme for dipping. Holy cow! With all 3 three of the staff that I interacted with giving excellent customer service on a Saturday night with a full house, impeccably delicious and unique menu options, a great cocktail menu, a streetcar stop right outside the front door and an overall cool vibe; I easily give Muni at least a five star rating and early front runner status for Ralphie's best restaurant of 2024 list. Eager to return and try that smash burger I saw being served to another customer. read more

Delicious .. I need to have the chorizo wontons everyday. Great fusion and unexpected for KC

Good unique fusion dishes and cocktails! I sat at the bar and it was nice. I would return if in the area. Cocktails and apps were good, I had the tacos and was satisfied! read more

Ok. So we KNEW Muni would be good (We already love Chef Liberda's Buck Tui). And IT WAS. That sauce on the carne asada Kow Soi could make any ingredients taste like heaven. I was close to drinking the rest of the sauce once we'd fished out all the noodles, veggies, and tender meat... Also loved the Gapow Beef Empanadas -- served so hot we should have waited to eat em. (But didn't. Obviously.) And frankly they need to just bottle that Creamy Tiger Cry Sauce. Let's be honest. Thai-quitos were crispy and flavorful. (I dipped em in extra Creamy Tiger Cry Sauce.) Chorizo Rangoon is up there with the Brisket Rangoons at Buck Tui (but I still love those best!). They're uber crispy, and just a little sweet to go with the signature spice of chorizo. You don't actually need sauce with these (but I tried one dunked in the CTCS just to be sure). I'm just so glad these flavors are in walking distance for us... We'll be back to wait our turn again (the wait moved pretty fast!) and gotta try the Birria Dumplings (c'mon now) and a smash burger. Loved running into Chef Ted on a busy Friday night and seeing it packed full. read more

I really wanted to like this place! I absolutely loved Tribe which used occupy this building. The vibes are just not it. The lighting is trying to be too serious and dark, and the decor is boring. Service was friendly and quick! The food was very underwhelming though. I was expecting explosions of flavor and every drink and dish was very straight forward and basic. Probably won't be back read more

The new non traditional Thai-Mexican fusion restaurant located near river market has been on my list since before it opened. I have been excited to try it considering I love both of these cuisines individually. I got to try the Kow Soi, sticky ribs, and thaiquitos. These were all very good. I have to say my favorite fusion was the thaiquitos though. This was a light crispy spring roll filled with braised pork and cabbage, then topped with a salsa verde, crema, lettuce, tomato, and Cotija cheese. I really got both cuisines in this dish. The sticky ribs had a nice honey hoisin glaze which was pretty sweet. It pairs well with Asian slaw to cut down on the sweetness of the ribs. The meat is easy to get off the bone and is very tender. The Kow Soi was also good with its contrast in textures between the noodles and crispy noodles. The curry flavor is similar to the yellow curry at Waldo Thai if you have ever eaten there. The carne asada went well with it although I feel like there could have been more. Next time I visit I know I will already want to try the birria dumplings and the Thai tacos with carne asada and tiger cry sauce. I feel these will give me the fusion aspect more so than the sticky ribs and kow soi, which really just leaned more on the Thai side of the flavor profile. Still good, just not really getting that fusion to me. The burgers seemed to be very popular too. The ambiance is nice and casual with a large bar that can accommodate about 25 people. The location is great as well as it sits rights next to river market. They do not open until 4 though which I was surprised to find out. I figured this place would be open for lunches. The service was good, although it did take a bit of time to get our check and it wasn't even from our server. Not a big deal as it did start getting busy and at least the food came out quick for us. That could have been because we were one of the first tables to order since we arrived right at 4pm opening time. read more

I think I can finally name my favorite meal of all time. It is a hard thing to do but the Kow Soi is just amazing. It is everything. Sweet, salty, spicy. Don't be afraid of the word curry! You will not be disapponted. The servers were friendly and the drinks were refreshing and fun as well. read more

We were bummed when we realized they were only serving the brunch menu, but our minds changed quickly when we tried this food! So good! Such a fun spin on traditional brunch - loved the Asian fusion and it was done really well. Great vibes down at the river market and we had great service. Will definitely be back - but would like to try dinner next time! I've heard the smash burger is to die for. read more

We were really disappointed in the service which I would say was borderline downright unfriendly. The menu is very limited as was the wine selection. The patio used to be great when it was Tribe and there was nothing even any seating the other day when it was 80 degrees. read more

I've been here twice now and everything has been pretty good! There's been some that were just okay..but overall love the place. Especially for being open late on a weekday and kitchen being open until 12am really helps me out as an industry rat to get good food after work that isn't a sat food place. Love the fries, taquitos, the eloltes are the best...but nothing comes close to that Kaw Soi!! The daiquiri is my favorite, even the NA one is great read more

A group of us were in town for a convention and decided to stop by for dinner. We were intrigued by the Thai-Mexican concept and this place did not disappoint. The food was excellent! Our favorites were the Zaap Zaap shrimp, Birria Dumplings, and Chive Cake. 5/5 We had to deduct a star for the service. Our waitress was fine - cordial, but unapproachable. The kitchen staff was rude and the whole vibe was off. It's like no one wanted to be there. Maybe they were upset about working on Halloween night? Regardless, service was 2/5. If I could give this place 3.5 stars, I would. The food is definitely worth a try, but I would order it as takeout. read more

I went to this place a week ago, but it was kind of mid. The waitress and staff were nice and gave good recommendations, but their specialty item 'carne asada kow soi' was honestly mid tier . Maybe I just didn't like the coconut curry combination with the noodles, but the Carne Asada seemed well cooked. Overall, had a good crowd and seems to have good business as well. read more

Hubby and I enjoyed this place. Really good food-nice service-excellent atmosphere. We live close, so this has become a go to spot.

I really like the space. Cute atmosphere, with large windows to see the street outside. The food was nothing to write home about. I really enjoyed the churros, but my hot and honey chicken sammie was bland. The staff was very nice and helpful so that deserved its own star. read more

Watch out for Thai-Mex This fusion, I'll be choosin', when I get a chance, again. Our group of six had Zaap Zaap Shrimp, KC Loaded Nachos, Thom Yum Pozole, Tri Thai Tacos, Sticky Ribs, and my favorite, Carne Asada Kow Soi; our Server said this was her favorite, also. The food was: tender, crispy, succulent, every texture it was supposed to be, dare I say, even deliciously unctuous where appropriate. We all shared. Everything was FLAVORFUL. Our Server was also our Guide, verifying and educating us with responsiveness and warmth. The decor was festive, contemporary, traditional and funky...all working together. There are several other items on the menu that we would like to try. The layered Chocolate Cake (I didn't catch its full name, because said Server surprised us with it), had real whipped cream, we could tell. My daughter detected cinnamon and a bit of cayenne among the flavors of the wonderful cake ! Would we come back? Well, continuing on that time theme "it takes a licking and keeps on ticking !" Yes to Muni ! read more

Wow! What a great addition to the city market. When I heard that it was a Mexican Thai food fusion , I thought to myself how in the world is this place going to taste but it tastes soooo good. Their Gapow beef empanadas have Ground beef, Thai basil, serrano, jasmine rice, cheese with creamy tiger cry sauce...careful that tiger cry sauce is packing a punch but great for any elevation to your meal. Their sticky ribs are Grilled smoked pork ribs, honey hoisin glaze, spicy peanuts, Asian slaw. The Asian slaw is a nice balance of sweet with salt. Their thaquitos have this green sauce with them and it's silent but deadly, great flavor. Their Smash Dat Muni burger is out of this world! I couldn't finish it by myself I had to share it. It has Two quarter pound beef smash patties, chili jam caramelized onion, American and Provolone cheese, spicy mayo, brioche bun, served with fries. This place has everything that your palette desires and it's a great location. Although parking can get tricky because it is city market you can always ride the street car down. I highly recommend and I will be a repeat offender here. read more

Friendly, food good,good service,very crowded manager will be going there again. Was my first time there.

I've had my eye on the opening of Muni for a while! I had the pleasure of going during their first week of being open and was so impressed by the flexibility of staff members during their first week! They were professional and had great recommendations for drinks and menu items. Their margarita was so tasty and offered the perfect amount of spice while also being refreshing. For my main course I got the chicken sandwich and was impressed by the flavor it had between bun. I am definitely going to come back to try more of their menu items. I can already tell it's going to be a hot spot this summer. read more

Kansas City! You may miss Tribe Street Kitchen, but this is a worthy replacement. Muni has taken over the location of where Tribe was and pretty much everything inside looks exactly the same. I came to Muni on a Sunday night after seeing that Tribe had closed and been replaced with this place so I came to check it out. We started with the beef empanadas and oh my gosh, they're amazing! From the first bite, the light, flaky, crispy pastry is heaven in your mouth. I'm not sure what the sauce was that came with the dish but it enhanced the empanadas tastiness. The hot honey chicken sandwich was made with really great quality chicken (to rival the quality of Chick-fil-a). The honey sauce made the chicken a delicate sweetness that paired great with the spiciness; however, the spice wasn't spread evenly across the sandwich, so I didn't taste any hot/spicy until I was halfway through the sandwich. The smash that MuNI burger was good as well but the smash burger patties should've been flatter and more crispy around the edges. The fries didn't look it, but they tasted good and were hot. Overall, this restaurant was great, service was excellent, and I look forward to returning again. read more

We took our adult kids to this restaurant. The food was amazing. We loved everything, the vibe and the service was great.

I was very excited to come to this Thai-Mexican fusion restaurant but was let down really quick. The restaurant was packed full on a random Thursday night but we were able to be seated quickly. When given the menu it was a bit confusing because it was just a paper with a list of all of the foods. Their menu was a bit small, which we didn't mind because it was a newly opened restaurant. It was hard to differentiate the apps and the entrees so when my table ordered food and got it, we realized it was mostly apps we were confused. Additionally our server rarely checked on us and took a while to take our order and was very rushed were we didn't get to ask much questions. The food wasn't exceptional but wasn't the worst either, it was very average. The chicken wings were dry and didn't have much flavor but the sauce that came with was good and the only thing that gave it flavor. They also have limited sauces to only the creamy sauce and the sweat and spicy sauce. They also don't have any chili oil or additional spice options for those who want more spice/flavor. I think this would be a good place to try at least once because of the concept. This place has a lot of potential but I just didn't get the best experience. I'd come back and try it again but it wouldn't be on my list of recommendations at the moment. read more
