Penny's In the Village

Penny’s In the Village is a chef-driven Thai street-food restaurant in The Shops of Prairie Village, opened in January 2025 by Wan Phen “Penny” Mufuka and her husband Doug Mufuka — the local restaurateur couple behind Bamboo Penny’s, KC Thai, and other area Thai concepts.

Description

Penny’s In the Village is a Thai street-food restaurant located in The Shops of Prairie Village shopping center in Prairie Village, Kansas. The restaurant frames itself as a chef-driven concept built around the cooking of Thai-born chef Penny Mufuka, translating traditional flavors from the Thai countryside and the street-food stalls of Bangkok into a contemporary sit-down format.

The menu emphasizes authentic Thai dishes and shared plates, with reported signature items including barbecue sticky-rice rolls, crispy pork belly in Thai basil sauce, spring rolls, and Thai calamari. The owners describe the venue as a community gathering place, framing the concept around “showcasing original Thai food, the soul of Thailand.”

The restaurant is one of several restaurant concepts operated by the Mufukas across the Kansas City metro, and the “In the Village” name refers to its Prairie Village location (The Shops of Prairie Village, in the Mission/“the Village” district around 71st & 95th-corridor Johnson County) rather than a separate village place-name. It should not be confused with the Mufukas’ two Park Place, Leawood concepts — Aqua Penny’s (seafood/oyster bar, 11652 Ash St) and Bamboo Penny’s (Thai, 5270 W 116th Pl) — which sit roughly 4 miles south near 117th St.

Ownership and history

Penny’s In the Village is owned by Wan Phen “Penny” Mufuka and her husband Doug Mufuka. Penny immigrated from Thailand in 1994 and worked her way up from busing tables to chef at area restaurants before opening her own establishments; she and Doug married in 2013. The couple previously opened Thai House in south Kansas City (since sold, reported sold in 2022) and operate or have operated a cluster of metro Thai-and-fusion concepts including Bamboo Penny’s (Thai, 5270 W 116th Pl, Park Place, Leawood), Aqua Penny’s (seafood/oyster bar, 11652 Ash St, Park Place, Leawood — opened April 2024), KC Thai (Overland Park), and Str-Eatz (a taco-focused cafe).

Penny’s In the Village opened to the public over the weekend of January 17, 2025, in the former-retail space at The Shops of Prairie Village.

Verification

Menu pass 2026-08-13. Full itemized first-party food and drink menus transcribed from the restaurant’s own SpotApps-hosted menu pages (sources 8 and 9); menu_status: unverified → verified. Hours and phone added to the infobox from the official home page (source 10). Four menu sections — standard fried rice, noodles, curry, and stir fry — publish dish names and descriptions but no base prices (priced by protein selection); those are marked rather than estimated, as is the un-priced well/call spirits list. The site’s “pick-up / delivery” button routes to an order.online aggregator storefront; per first-party-prices-only policy no prices were taken from it. Reservations run through the restaurant’s own Toast booking page. Also noted: the site’s contact email is at the bamboopennys.com domain, independent corroboration of the shared Mufuka-group operation already described on this page.

Drafted 2026-05-30 from web research; 4 sources. Address corrected from base data (base listed a Park Place address that belongs to a sister restaurant); Prairie Village location confirmed by three independent sources. Thai House sale date and current status of sister concepts (KC Thai, Str-Eatz) flagged provisional. Social links (Instagram, Facebook) confirmed.

Compiler note — 2026-06-15 (map-pin audit untangle)

A map-pin audit flagged that this record’s base-data address “11652 Ash St” sits ~117th St (Park Place, Leawood) while the map pin sits at ~95th St (the Mission/Prairie Village “Village” corridor) — a name/address/identity conflation of two different “Penny’s” businesses.

Untangle outcome: this Registry record is, and remains, Penny’s In the Village — the Mufukas’ Thai street-food restaurant at 4160 W 71st St, Prairie Village, KS 66208 (neighborhood: Prairie Village / The Shops of Prairie Village). Name, address, and neighborhood in the infobox are correct and verified.

The stray base-data address 11652 Ash St belongs to Aqua Penny’s, a separate Mufuka concept (seafood/oyster bar) in Park Place, Leawood (Yelp; Park Place directory; aquapennys.com; Johnson County Post 2024-04-17). This corrects an earlier draft note on this page that had mis-attributed 11652 Ash St to Bamboo Penny’s — Bamboo Penny’s is also a separate Park Place concept but at 5270 W 116th Pl, Leawood (a distinct address). So three distinct Mufuka businesses were involved: Penny’s In the Village (this record, Prairie Village), Aqua Penny’s (Ash St, Leawood), and Bamboo Penny’s (116th Pl, Leawood).

Name/slug check: slug pennys-in-the-village and the page name match the actual business this record represents. No rename needed. Canonical name confirmed: Penny’s In the Village.

1. Map pin: ensure this record’s pin is set to 4160 W 71st St, Prairie Village (~71st & Mission Rd area) and NOT 11652 Ash St / ~117th St. The base data’s “11652 Ash St” must be purged from this record’s geocode so it doesn’t re-snap to the Leawood location.
2. Possible missing records: Aqua Penny’s (11652 Ash St, Leawood) and Bamboo Penny’s (5270 W 116th Pl, Leawood) appear to be legitimate separate KC-metro businesses not (yet) confirmed as their own Registry records. If the base data’s Ash St entry was meant to be Aqua Penny’s, it may need its own page/slug rather than being folded into this one.
