Best Dog-Friendly Restaurants in Kwun Tong, Hong Kong (2026)
Kwun Tong, on the east of Kowloon, has turned from an industrial district into one of the city’s busiest dining and office hubs, taking in Kowloon Bay, Ngau Tau Kok, Lam Tin and Yau Tong. Its long harbourfront promenade is a favourite with dog owners, and many nearby restaurants are on the approved list. From 9 July 2026, they may admit dogs inside.

Where to go with your dog in Kwun Tong
The malls and converted industrial buildings around Kwun Tong and Ngau Tau Kok hold most of the district’s approved restaurants — apm and the surrounding towers are an easy, weatherproof base. Kowloon Bay’s Telford area adds more family dining a short hop north.
The Kwun Tong Promenade is the district’s star for dog owners — a long, open harbourfront walk that pairs perfectly with a meal nearby. Pick a spot within reach of the water and you have a ready-made outing.
Getting there with your dog
Pet dogs are not allowed on the MTR — only assistance dogs are, plus the separate Light Rail pet scheme in the New Territories — so plan to arrive on foot, by taxi or by private car. Not every taxi will take a dog, so a carrier or a mat helps, and it is worth confirming with the driver before you get in.
Buses and taxis serve the district well; door-to-door by taxi or private car is usually simplest. Bring a carrier or mat to make a taxi ride easier to arrange, and once you arrive the malls and town-centre streets are comfortably walkable between venues.
Before you visit
Being on the approved list means a restaurant may admit dogs from 9 July 2026 — it does not set the house rules. Each venue decides the details: whether dogs are welcome throughout or only in a certain zone, whether they may sit on chairs, and whether a cleaning charge applies. Check the restaurant’s customer notice or call ahead, especially at busy times.
Keep your dog leashed and under control, bring water and a mat, and clean up after any accident. A well-behaved visit is what keeps these places dog-friendly.
Frequently asked questions
Can dogs go inside these restaurants now? From 9 July 2026, approved venues on FEHD’s final list may admit dogs. Before that date, dogs are not permitted on food premises except guide and working dogs.
Is the whole restaurant dog-friendly, or just outdoor seating? It depends on the venue’s own house rules — some welcome dogs throughout, others set a dog zone or an outdoor-only area. Always confirm with the restaurant.
Can I take my dog on the MTR to get there? No — pet dogs are not allowed on the MTR. Assistance dogs are. Travel by bus route that permits pets, by taxi or by car.
