History
The station, initially named Yaumati, was constructed on 1 October 1910 to cope with the opening of the British Section of Kowloon-Canton Railway. The station was later renamed Mong Kok on 31 December 1968.
In 1983, the station was rebuilt. A temporary station was in use just to the south (towards Hung Hom) during reconstruction. After the takeover of KCR operations by the MTR Corporation on 2 December 2007, the station was renamed to Mong Kok East. Following the MTR-KCR merger, this station shared a name with the separate Mong Kok Station on the Tsuen Wan and Kwun Tong lines.
Station layout
Platform 1 is the terminus platform for some southbound trains during peak hours. The platforms are curved and the platform gap is relatively large compared to other MTR stations.
