About this location
At Gate M16, HUB51 keeps the same 10am-to-10pm clock as RJ Grunts next door, running an hour past Urban Olive and Wow Bao at that same gate. It's a full bar and sit-down setup rather than a counter, one of two table-service, alcohol-serving stops clustered at M16 rather than the grab-and-go format the other two share. A traveler on a late evening departure out of M16 has a kitchen open here after the counters two doors down have already closed.
Other options in Terminal 5
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
