Asura

This is a walk-in Thai restaurant inside the AIRSIDE mall — there is no booking channel on OpenRice and no published reservation line. The address (Shop L205, 2/F, AIRSIDE, 2 Concorde Road, Kai Tak) sits directly above the new Kai Tak MTR station on the Tuen Ma Line. Weekday lunch is the easy window; weekend brunch (12:00–14:00) and early dinner (18:00–19:30) build a queue. A March 2026 OpenRice review (LoChunyin) visited on a Saturday around 17:30 and was seated immediately at a window — useful data point that a mid-afternoon arrival beats the 12:30 and 18:30 rushes.

• Walk-ins accepted: yes — table-turn is fast at lunch.
• Booking channel: none observed. WhatsApp (9164 8400) is the only published number; OpenRice has no booking button.
• Lead time: weekend queue at 12:30 is the highest-friction moment; arrive before 12:00 or after 13:30.
• Pet-section hours: the restaurant follows the AIRSIDE mall hours (which the mall lists as 10:00–22:00 for the food hall floors). The restaurant’s own hours are Mon–Fri 12:00–16:00 / 18:00–22:00; Sat–Sun 12:00–22:00.
• The vibe: the host seats you on arrival; one recent OpenRice review (Tiffany Poon, May 2026) flagged a stiff seating-priority interaction at the door — not a pet issue, but worth knowing if you arrive with an elderly relative or a tired dog and expect to skip the queue.

• Minimum charge: none reported by any reviewer. The price band is $101–200 per person on OpenRice — the standard mid-range Thai band.
• Per-dog charge: none reported.
• Pet menu / treats: no dedicated dog menu. Reviewers mention being offered water on request. No prepackaged dog food or treats on the house — bring your own.
• Payment methods (per OpenRice): Visa, Mastercard, Cash, American Express. No AlipayHK / FPS / Octopus listed, so bring a card or cash.

There is no separate pet zone inside the restaurant — Asura is a regular indoor Thai restaurant. The pet-friendly space is really the AIRSIDE mall fabric that wraps around it. AIRSIDE officially designates four pet zones on its Pet-Friendly Paradise page: the G/F Plaza, the G/F indoor shopping area, the 2/F AIR Farm, and the 6/F AIRSIDE Garden. Dogs are not segregated from non-dog diners at the restaurant; seating is open-plan. Most reviewers who bring dogs in carriers sit at the inner two-seat tables near the window.

• Relief area on-site: none in the restaurant. The 6/F AIRSIDE Garden has the closest grass patch (small lawn, dogs on-leash), and the Kai Tak Runway Park dog garden is a 12-min walk via the runway footbridge.
• Off-leash permitted? No. Treat the whole mall and the restaurant as on-leash (or in carrier for small dogs).
• Distance from non-dog diners: zero — the room is open. Calm, carrier-trained dogs only during the Saturday peak.

• Water bowl: yes — provided on request. AIRSIDE’s concierge also lends free pet drinking bowls for use anywhere in the mall; ask at the G/F concierge desk. Reviewers flag that Asura staff don’t proactively offer water at the table — you have to ask.
• Pet mat / pee pad: not provided — bring your own. The mall’s concierge supplies pet waste bags and pet diapers on request.
• Pet treats on the house: not documented.
• Pet menu: none.
• Pet stroller parking: the AIRSIDE concierge lends free pet strollers (deposit required) for indoor use — a useful workaround if your dog is too big for a carrier but you still want them at the table.
• Pet-friendly toilet: no. The 6/F AIRSIDE Garden area has the closest public washrooms.

By MTR, the restaurant is a 1-minute walk from Kai Tak MTR Station Exit C — the station sits directly under the AIRSIDE mall, and the restaurant is one escalator up to the 2/F food floor (per OpenRice’s verified address line). The Tuen Ma Line is the only MTR serving Kai Tak as of 2026.

• Bus: the new Kai Tak bus terminus (Citybus / KMB routes) is one block north on Shing Fung Road; the 5M, 11 and 22 routes stop within a 3-min walk.
• Step-free entry: yes — mall lifts from street to 2/F; the AIRSIDE G/F concierge can lend a free pet stroller.
• Lift required: yes (the restaurant is on 2/F; mall lifts to L2).
• Parking: AIRSIDE Carpark (mall-operated, 700+ spaces, including 80 EV medium and 8 EV fast chargers) directly below the restaurant; pet-friendly lifts serve the carpark.
• MTR walk time: ~1 min (Kai Tak Exit C, indoor).

The law, per the FEHD scheme baseline (Cap 167D + Dog-Friendly Food Premises Permit conditions):

• Leash length ≤ 1.5 m (FEHD baseline; AIRSIDE mall rules are stricter and require carriers in indoor mall corridors).
• No dogs on dining tables or bar seats (FEHD rule, observed).
• 1.5 m exclusion from open buffets and salad bars (not applicable here — Asura is à la carte only).
• Dogs on Dangerous Dog Regulation (Cap 167D) breeds are excluded by law; staff almost never know the rule by name, they will just say “no big dogs.”
• AFCD e-licence via iAM Smart should be carried — operators can ask.

What reviewers actually report on the ground (and the AIRSIDE mall overlay):

• AIRSIDE’s published pet rules require dogs to be in carriers inside the indoor mall corridors and inside the food hall; on the G/F Plaza, the 2/F AIR Farm and the 6/F AIRSIDE Garden dogs may be on-leash. Petsona confirms Asura “welcomes dogs in carriers or strollers” specifically, and points out the wall-side and fire-door positions as the common placement.
• No size cap is documented at the restaurant. The mall rule is “carriers up to medium” — for dogs that don’t fit a carrier, the stroller loan from concierge is the practical route.
• No “X dogs per booking” cap is reported. The tables are two-seaters along the window, so a party of 4 with one small dog is the easy setup.

1. Use the AIRSIDE pet stroller loan — concierge on G/F lends them free (with deposit); for medium dogs this is the difference between a yes and a no at the table.
2. Arrive before 12:00 on weekends — the 12:30 rush is the hardest table to get with a dog in tow.
3. Carry your AFCD e-licence (iAM Smart) — they can ask.
4. Bring your own water bowl — staff provide a glass on request, not a bowl.
5. Order the 招牌泰式沾麵 — it’s the signature (green-curry dip + thin egg noodles, ~$118) and the reason most diners queue.
6. Skip the lunch-only window — Mon–Fri closes 16:00–18:00 between lunch and dinner service; Saturday 12:00–22:00 is continuous.
7. Don’t feed your dog from the venue’s tableware — FEHD rule, observed.
8. Do not bring a “Dangerous Dog” breed (Cap 167D) — the FEHD permit doesn’t override the parent ordinance.
9. Use the 6/F AIRSIDE Garden for a relief stop — it’s one lift up from the restaurant and the closest grass patch.
