• No dogs on dining tables or bar seats (FEHD rule).
• 1.5 m exclusion from open buffets and salad bars (not applicable — single-order).
• Dangerous Dog Regulation (Cap 167D) breeds are excluded by law.

TKO Plaza common-area rules (house rules, separate from FEHD):

• Carry-or-leash in common areas; verify the current TKO Plaza house rule on arrival.

What the field reports:

• Chain Shanghainese restaurants with pet-friendly stance typically accommodate small to medium dogs on a short lead.
• TKO Plaza is a mall venue with FEHD-endorsed pet access.

1. Try the pan-fried xiao long bao — the headline.
2. Visit on weekday lunch — the quieter window for a pet visit.
3. Bring a portable water bowl — staff will fill it on request.
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. Use the TKO Plaza podium for a relief walk before/after dining.

OpenRice 4.3/5 across 104 reviews; reviewers consistently note the pan-fried xiao long bao, Shanghai-style noodles and the $51–100 price band with 10% service charge. The venue is registered under the FEHD dog-friendly food premises permit with Cap 167D enforcement documented on the parent register. The TKO Plaza 1/F hall layout constrains the practical configuration to small or medium dogs on a short lead, with mall common-area carry-or-leash house rules applying.
