History

Initially called Yaumati, the station commenced operations on 1 October 1910, serving the British Section of the Kowloon–Canton Railway. Yaumati was the original name for Yau Ma Tei. On 31 December 1968, it was renamed Mong Kok to better represent its location in the Mong Kok District.

A reconstruction took place in 1983, during which a temporary facility operated nearby. After the MTR Corporation assumed control of KCR services on 2 December 2007, the station adopted the name Mong Kok East. Before the MTR–KCR merger, this station shared its designation with the separate Mong Kok station serving the Tsuen Wan line and Kwun Tong line.

Station layout

During peak periods, Platform 1 functions as a terminus for certain southbound trains that then head back northbound toward Lo Wu or Lok Ma Chau. Due to the curvature of the platforms, the gap between train and platform is wider than typical MTR stations.
