Muni

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.

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

When I heard that the owners of Waldo Thai had opened a new restaurant with Latin and Thai-style food, I knew I had to go try it! After a few months since they opened, my boyfriend and I decided to have an unplanned date night on a Saturday evening and drove out to River Market for the night. I tried using Open Table to find last-minute bookings, but couldn't find any. So I looked through my saved collections on Yelp and remembered that I've been meaning to try Muni. It was fate when we found out that we didn't need to make bookings and that it was first come, first served. Though we had to wait a short time for a table when we got there, we were told that some seats at the bar had opened up, so we didn't have to wait as long for a table. When we asked the bartender for help with choosing food and drinks, she was friendly and willing to help. We made the choice to share the birria dumplings and pad gra pow empanadas after reading the menu. Each one was great, and the sizes were perfect for sharing. You can definitely tell the difference between the two meals if you've had a chance to try them separately. The pad gra pow empanadas definitely had flavors that were similar to the traditional Thai dish pad gra pow, which was spot on and delicious. The outside of the empanadas also had a tasty and unique texture. I couldn't get enough of it because it was so delicious and wonderful. I've found my new favorite place to go on a "treat yourself" date. If you want to do something different in Kansas City, I strongly suggest that you go to Muni. You won't be sorry. I can't wait to try everything else when I get back!

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. MyBoyfriend 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.

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.

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.

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!

Birria dumplings. Get it. Chorizo Rangoons. Get it. Fried chive cakes. Get it and have your mind blown. Zaap zaap shrimp. Get it if you like spicy. Hibiscus martini was okay. Restaurant was a little cold if you sit by the door. Staff was cool. Overall great experience.

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.

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!
