1. Book on OpenRice — the booking widget is the cleanest path; weekend dinner 2–3 days ahead.
2. Order the sushi / sashimi plate — the signature format.
3. Visit on weekday lunch — quieter, with more room for a small or 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 seat — quieter for a small or medium dog.
7. Bring a mat — the seating is bench-style.
8. Walk the Graham Street / PMQ garden before/after — open-air relief stop within 5 min.
