“ New restaurant, opened six weeks ago. Food is wonderful, lots of cool drinks. Excellent atmosphere with cool decor and very unique place to be. I will definitely be coming back here. Very simple menu tacos and fries, open late! Staff was amazing. I recommend this place 100% ”
“ Kon Tiki feels like a mini-vacation! Stepping inside is like being instantly transported to a retro-tropical paradise. Cocktails are adventurous and (actually) high quality and delicious - pure joy in a glass. Booze-free concoctions are just as yummy and fun. Tacos are authentic with craveable plant-based and pescatarian options. The space is great whether you are looking for something a bit intimate for a few mates (grab a booth) or rolling deep with a post-party crew craving late night food (and more drinks!). Also, love the super cute (and always clean!) bathrooms. ”
“ Great spot, came in for drinks only, no food. The painkiller was great, wife has a non-alcoholic spritzer drink named Scarlet Lagoon that had her wishing they were available everywhere we went. Pro tip: Happy hour! M-Thu 4-6 / 10 value Clean and well maintained, new everything and well maintained. Bathrooms are clean, too. Social media vibe spot. ”
“ ugh don’t miss out on this place !!! i went with my boyfriend and we had so much fun chatting, drinking and the food was AMAZING. i can’t even complain about the price of the taco because it was genuinely so delicious hahaha. the drinks were very good and the environment was colorful, fun and the perfect balance of lively and calm. our waitress was so sweet and personable, checked on us multiple times through the night but never a bother. can’t wait to come again !!! ”
“ Cool little Tiki bar. The decor is fun, but almost too clean to be a Tiki bar. Well at least compared to others I have been to. But still a fun spot. Great food from their sister restaurant next door. Drinks are solid. Everyone with me said they liked it a lot. I only went to Kon, but it looked like the nicest Tiki Bar in town. I can't compare, but I would check it out if I were you. I'll go back if I find myself in KC again. Try the al pastor tacos and the golden hour cocktial was delicious. ”
“ i had a fab time at kon tiki for a belated birthday celebration recently. the conchita shrimp and fish tacos were so delicious and you MUST get the cheese fries with pico and salsa verde...sooo yummy! (we ordered 2 servings and i still wanted more) my favorite drink was the island inferno, very refreshing and the perfect spicy kick in a fun optional tiki mug! looking forward to going back to this cool spot in KC very soon ”
“ What a beautiful place filled with color, great service and tasty drinks. We just happened upon this place and were absolutely delighted with the experience. I am a little obsessed with The Golden Hour cocktail. Delicious! Cannot wait to come back. ”
