About Mongkok Tea House

Step off Burke Road into moody 1970s Hong Kong neon and retro tiling, where modern Cantonese cooking meets serious tea mixology. Diners point to an inventive rhythm across the menu—crispy ham sui gok, dry-aged duck, and toothfish matched with tea-infused cocktails or half-glass pours plotted on an illustrated flavor chart. Service stays attentive without hovering, letting meals drift unhurried through drunken kingfish and cherry-infused spirits.

  • Tea-Led Mixology & Half Glasses: Cocktails built with tea infusions, botanicals like fig oil, and options for half-glass pours guided by an illustrated chart.
  • Retro Hong Kong Atmosphere: Warm neon lights and nostalgic tiling recreate a 1970s Hong Kong cinematic mood behind an unassuming Camberwell storefront.
  • Elevated Cantonese Plates: Contemporary takes on Cantonese staples, from crisp ham sui gok and drunken kingfish to dry-aged duck and toothfish.
