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

• Leash length ≤ 1.5 m (FEHD baseline).
• No dogs on dining tables or bar seats (FEHD rule).
• 1.5 m exclusion from open buffets and salad bars (not applicable).
• Dangerous Dog Regulation (Cap 167D) breeds are excluded by law.
• AFCD e-licence via iAM Smart should be carried.

V Walk house rule: carry-or-leash in common areas, verify on arrival.

What the field reports:

• Mall-floor Sichuan restaurants with pet-friendly stance and water bowls typically accommodate small or medium dogs on a short lead.

1. Visit on weekday lunch — quieter, more room for a small or medium dog.
2. Order the mala skewer — the menu’s signature.
3. Carry AFCD e-licence — the venue is on the FEHD register.
4. Don’t bring a “Dangerous Dog” breed (Cap 167D) — the FEHD permit doesn’t override the parent ordinance.
5. Pick a corner seat by the window — quieter for a small or medium dog.
6. Use a mat — the seating is hall-style.
7. Use the Sham Shui Po waterfront promenade for a relief walk before/after.
8. Pair with a stroll through Apliu Street flea market (weekends) for a longer outing.

OpenRice 4.3/5 across 260 reviews; reviewers consistently note the mala soup and the skewer quality, with mall pricing cited as the price-band reason and the V Walk convenience noted as a draw.
