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

• Leash length ≤ 1.5 m (FEHD baseline; observed at street kitchens).
• No dogs on dining tables or bar seats (FEHD rule).
• 1.5 m exclusion from open buffets and live-cooking stations (FEHD rule, observed at dai pai dong).
• Dangerous Dog Regulation (Cap 167D) breeds are excluded by law.
• AFCD e-licence via iAM Smart should be carried.

What the field reports:

• Dai pai dong venues with pet-friendly stance typically accommodate one or two small to medium dogs.
• The 4.5 OpenRice rating at this scale (26 reviews) is encouraging but small-sample.

1. Order the grilled skewers — the signature.
2. Bring a portable water bowl — staff do not supply one.
3. Visit on weekday lunch — quieter, more room for a small to medium dog.
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 outdoor bench — quieter for a small to medium dog.
7. Bring a mat — the outdoor benches are metal-framed.
8. Be prepared to wait — dai pai dong kitchens can run 15–20 minutes during peak.

OpenRice 4.5/5 across 26 reviews; reviewers consistently note the signature grilled skewers, dai pai dong-style sauces and the $101–200 price band. The venue is registered under the FEHD dog-friendly food premises permit with Cap 167D enforcement documented on the parent register. The outdoor street-side tables on Hamilton Street serve as the de-facto pet zone, with dai pai dong close-seating constraining the practical configuration to small to medium dogs on a short lead.
