About Subtle Island

Subtle Island, a pub or bar in Mong Kok, Yau Tsim Mong, is at 4樓, 友誠商業中心51號 Sai Yeung Choi St S, Mong Kok, Kowloon. Before heading over it is worth checking the hours, phone number and Google rating below, so the trip is not wasted. The address puts it on an upper floor of a building (an "upstairs shop", very common in Hong Kong), so note the floor and unit number; lifts can be slow at busy times, and some older buildings only have stairs.

Under Hong Kong law, businesses may not sell or supply alcohol to anyone under 18, so bars may ask for ID. Many run happy-hour deals in the early evening, weekends are the liveliest, and some venues have a minimum spend or a cover charge; for live music or private events, ask for details first.

Google lists the opening hours as Mon–Sat 12:00–02:00, Sun 12:00–23:59. It opens every day of the week. Arrangements may differ on public holidays, over Lunar New Year and when a typhoon signal No. 8 or above or a black rainstorm warning is in force, so call before making a special trip. You can call 5348 1417; a phone call is the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or how to get there. It is a mobile number, and many local businesses also answer enquiries on WhatsApp.

Customers give it an average of 4.4 out of 5 on Google (96 reviews), a high score by any measure.

Mong Kok is part of the Yau Tsim Mong District in Kowloon. Around Kwun Tong and Kowloon Bay many industrial buildings now house offices, restaurants, gyms and studios, while Kai Tak is a newer district. Kowloon's streets are busiest in the evening and at weekends, shops keep long hours with many open until about 22:00, and the Kwun Tong, Tsuen Wan and Tuen Ma lines plus buses and minibuses reach almost everywhere. Mong Kok is one of Hong Kong's busiest shopping districts: Tung Choi Street (the Ladies' Market) and Fa Yuen Street (Sneakers Street) are lined with small shops, and the buildings along Nathan Road hold countless upstairs shops.

Coming back from South Africa, I was shocked at HK prices. We ordered 3 dishes which were surprisingly filling and delicious as usually western food portions are very small. The guy serving us would pour water for us all the time so he’s much better than 90% of the servers in HK already.

went for a very late dinner. most of the customers at that time were sitting outdoor. the atmosphere was actually not bad, just that the smell of shisha was kind of choking me. had their tiramisu and mint tea. the female staff was so curtesy to ask if we wanted to video when she served us the tiramisu. the mint tea was very mint and they kept refilling hot water. appreciate that very much. i believe the owner was making a cat maze within that restaurant. cat lovers may want to check it out..
