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.

What the field reports:

• Wan Chai izakayas with pet-friendly stance and water bowls typically accommodate small or medium dogs on a short lead, with weekend dinner the most contested period.

1. Book on OpenRice for weekend dinner — the Wan Chai dinner window fills 3–7 days ahead.
2. Order the robatayaki skewers — the menu’s signature.
3. Visit on weekday lunch — quieter, more room for a small or medium dog.
4. Carry AFCD e-licence — the venue is on the FEHD register.
5. Don’t bring a “Dangerous Dog” breed (Cap 167D) — the FEHD permit doesn’t override the parent ordinance.
6. Pick a corner seat away from the robata grill — quieter for a small or medium dog.
7. Mind the 10% service charge — applied on the bill.
8. Use the Wan Chai waterfront promenade for a longer relief walk before/after.

OpenRice 4.0/5 across 184 reviews; reviewers consistently note the robatayaki skewers, with mid-to-upper Wan Chai pricing cited as the price-band reason.
