Best Dog-Friendly Restaurants in Yuen Long, Hong Kong (2026)
Yuen Long spreads across the north-west New Territories, from the busy town centre out to Kam Tin and Tin Shui Wai. Like neighbouring Tuen Mun, it is served by the Light Rail’s pet scheme, so a leashed dog can travel with you. With YOHO Mall and open country close by, it makes an easy day out. From 9 July 2026, approved venues here may admit dogs inside.

Where to go with your dog in Yuen Long
The town centre around YOHO Mall and Yuen Long station holds the district’s biggest cluster of approved restaurants, from cafés to family dining, all connected by the Light Rail. Tin Shui Wai adds more mall-based options to the north.
Kam Tin and the countryside around Yuen Long give you room to walk, and the Wetland Park area near Tin Shui Wai is a well-known green space. With the Light Rail carrying leashed dogs, you can pair a walk with a meal without needing a car.
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.
This is one of the few parts of Hong Kong with a pet option on public transport: the Light Rail runs a pet scheme across the north-west New Territories, so leashed dogs can travel on designated cars. Otherwise arrive by taxi or private car — pets are not allowed on the MTR.
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 bring my dog on public transport here? Yes, in part — the Light Rail runs a pet scheme in the north-west New Territories, so leashed dogs can travel on designated cars. The MTR heavy rail does not allow pet dogs.
