Oyster Station

This is a mid-to-upper-range seafood restaurant with a working OpenRice booking widget — walk-ins are accepted off-peak, but the 18:30–20:30 window on Friday and Saturday nights fills first, and the $10 oyster deal pulls a queue at the door from around 19:00. The address sits on Knutsford Terrace, the bar-and-restaurant staircase off Knutsford Hill behind the Sheraton Hong Kong, up one flight from street level to a small lift lobby, then up to the 7th floor.

• Walk-ins accepted: yes, off-peak; arrive before 18:00 or after 21:00 on weekends for no-wait seating.
• Booking channel: OpenRice online booking widget (with reward-discount slots at 14:00–16:00 and 18:00–22:00 on the verification date) or phone (3188 5818).
• Lead time: Fri/Sat dinner usually fills 2–3 days ahead; weekday lunch is usually walk-in friendly.
• Pet-section hours: same as the restaurant’s general hours (daily 12:00–23:00).
• The vibe: lively, open-kitchen, full bar; reviewers consistently describe the room as “casual, buzzy, not pretentious” with staff that remember regulars. Pet-friendly seating is not a partitioned section — dogs are accommodated on a case-by-case basis at the manager’s discretion. Always call ahead to confirm a dog-friendly table before booking.

• Minimum charge: none reported by any reviewer on the OpenRice or Petsona listings; the price band is $201–400 per person, which reflects an à-la-carte seafood/oyster bar rather than a per-head minimum. There is a standing 10% service charge.
• Per-dog charge: none reported.
• Pet menu / treats: no dedicated dog menu. Water is on request; treats and a dog bowl are not documented — bring your own.
• Payment methods (per OpenRice): Visa, Mastercard, AlipayHK, Alipay, Cash, AE (American Express), UnionPay, WeChat Pay. OpenRice reward points and instant discounts apply on most bookings.

There is no dedicated indoor pet zone — this is an à-la-carte seafood restaurant on the 7th floor of a Knutsford Terrace commercial building, not a mall pet section. The OpenRice and Petsona listings both describe the venue as “pet-friendly” without specifying a partitioned section; in practice that means dogs are seated at the manager’s discretion at designated tables, with the standard FEHD caveats around the open kitchen and bar seating.

• Indoor or outdoor: indoor only — Knutsford Terrace is a covered staircase-street, not an open terrace.
• Relief area on-site: none — step down the terrace to the Salisbury Road / Kowloon Park direction for relief (see Nearby).
• Off-leash permitted? No. Treat as on-leash throughout.
• Distance from non-dog diners: zero — the dining room is a single open space. Reactive dogs should call ahead to confirm a corner table away from the bar.

• Water bowl: yes — provided on request to seated guests (standard practice; not explicitly called out by reviewers).
• Pet mat / pee pad: not provided — bring your own.
• Pet treats on the house: not documented.
• Pet menu: none.
• Pet stroller parking: the lift lobby on the 7th floor is small; folding a stroller at the table is doable, but the 7th-floor lift is the only access route from street level.
• Pet-friendly toilet: no — use the MTR or the Kowloon Park public toilets.

By MTR, the venue is a 5-minute walk from Tsim Sha Tsui Station Exit B1 or East Tsim Sha Tsui Station Exit B1 (per OpenRice’s verified address line). Knutsford Terrace is the staircase off Knutsford Hill behind the Sheraton Hong Kong — look for the lit stairway up from the Salisbury Road side, then ONE KNUTSFORD is the building at the top.

• Bus: the Salisbury Road corridor runs cross-harbour 8X/11/280X and the Kowloon-side 1, 1A, 2, 6, 7, 9 stopping within a 3-minute walk at the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR bus terminal.
• Step-free entry: partial — Knutsford Terrace itself has a few steps from street level; ONE KNUTSFORD has a lift from its own ground-floor lobby, ask the security desk.
• Lift required: yes — 7th-floor venue, lift access from the ONE KNUTSFORD lobby.
• Parking: the nearest public car park is the Sheraton Hong Kong or the Science Museum Road multi-storey; both within a 5-minute walk.
• MTR walk time: ~5 min (TST Exit B1 or East TST Exit B1).

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

• Leash length ≤ 1.5 m (FEHD baseline; oyster-bar staff have been known not to enforce for relaxed small dogs at corner tables).
• No dogs on dining tables or bar seats (FEHD rule, observed).
• 1.5 m exclusion from open buffets and salad bars (not applicable here — Oyster Station is à la carte only, no buffet line).
• Dogs on Dangerous Dog Regulation (Cap 167D) breeds are excluded by law; staff almost never know the rule by name, they will just say “no big dogs.”
• AFCD e-licence via iAM Smart should be carried — operators can ask.

What reviewers actually report on the ground:

• Staff are described as “warm, friendly, made us feel like regulars” across the most recent reviews (July 2026); the pet-friendly angle is not a marketing priority, so calling ahead to confirm a dog-friendly table is the consistent advice from both OpenRice and the Furry Green pet-policy writeup.
• No size cap is documented on the OpenRice listing. No “X dogs per booking” cap reported.
• The 7th-floor dining room has a single open kitchen and a single bar; seating dogs away from the bar counter is the practical request most owners should make on arrival.

1. Call ahead (3188 5818) — pet-friendly seating is at the manager’s discretion; OpenRice and Furry Green both flag this. Same-day phone calls usually get a confirmation.
2. Book via OpenRice for the 14:00–16:00 reward-discount slots if you’re planning a lunch visit — slots are often available and the room is quieter mid-afternoon.
3. Carry your AFCD e-licence (iAM Smart) — they can ask.
4. Bring your own water bowl and mat — staff provide water on request, but a portable bowl keeps your dog settled.
5. Order the $10 oyster deal — it’s the headline draw and the easiest way to justify a visit at the $201–400 price band; ask the staff which origin is on the day.
6. Try the truffle mushroom risotto — the most-praised non-oyster dish on the last 30 reviews.
7. Don’t feed your dog from the venue’s tableware — FEHD rule, observed.
8. Do not bring a “Dangerous Dog” breed (Cap 167D) — the FEHD permit doesn’t override the parent ordinance.
