• Walk-ins accepted: yes — chain-restaurant format.
• Booking channel: none observed at this branch; OpenRice booking widget occasionally appears.

No dedicated pet zone is configured. The chain-restaurant hall seating is shared with non-pet diners; the hall is busy at peak, and a small or medium dog on a short lead is the safe configuration.

• Relief area on-site: none. The Wan Chai waterfront promenade (5-min walk via Tonnochy Road) serves as a relief stop before/after dining.
• Off-leash permitted? No. Treat as on-leash; FEHD baseline applies.
• Distance from non-pet tables: hall seating is close — keep your dog at your feet.

• Water bowl: not documented — a portable bowl is the practical option.
• Pet mat / pee pad: not provided.
• Pet treats on the house: not documented.
• Pet menu: none.
• Pet stroller parking: the chain-restaurant corridors are workable.

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

• Leash length ≤ 1.5 m (FEHD baseline; observed at chain restaurants).
• No dogs on dining tables or bar seats (FEHD rule).
• 1.5 m exclusion from open buffets and salad bars (not applicable — single-order xiao long bao / noodles).
• Dangerous Dog Regulation (Cap 167D) breeds are excluded by law.
• AFCD e-licence via iAM Smart should be carried.

What the field reports:

• Chain Shanghainese restaurants with pet-friendly stance typically accommodate small to medium dogs on a short lead.
• No documented size cap or per-dog cap for this licence; practical close-quarters make a small or medium dog the safer choice.

1. Try the 脆煎灌湯小籠包 — the signature, 6 pcs per order.
2. Visit on weekday lunch — the quieter window for a pet visit.
3. Bring a portable water bowl — staff do not supply one.
4. Carry AFCD e-licence — the venue is on the FEHD register.
5. Avoid Cap 167D breeds — the FEHD permit does not override the parent ordinance.
6. Pick a corner seat — quieter for a small or medium dog.
7. Bring a mat — the seating is bench-style.
8. Skip the Friday 19:00 rush if your dog is reactive — request the earlier 18:00 slot.

OpenRice 4.0/5 across 42 reviews; reviewers consistently note the 脆煎灌湯小籠包, Shanghai-style noodles and the $51–100 price band. The venue is registered under the FEHD dog-friendly food premises permit with Cap 167D enforcement documented on the parent register. The chain-restaurant hall layout constrains the practical configuration to small or medium dogs on a short lead.
