Big Fish Seafood and Grill

Big Fish runs two seating zones — an indoor, air-conditioned dining room (50 seats per OpenRice) and a front-of-house outdoor patio that fronts Wan King Path and the Sai Kung promenade. The patio is the practical pet zone; gopaw.io, OpenRice’s “Pet Friendly” tag, and BringFido all confirm dogs sit there.

• Walk-ins accepted: yes — the outdoor patio seats walk-ins, especially on weekdays and shoulder hours.
• Booking channel: phone (2751 9177) is the most reliable for indoor tables.
• Lead time: the patio fills around dinner on Sai Kung weekend evenings; weekday lunches are quiet.
• Pet-section hours: same as the restaurant’s general 11:00–23:00 daily hours (see How to get there).
• The vibe: front-of-house staff are reported as welcoming to dogs; one reviewer noted they brought a water bowl out without being asked, another was “placed on the outdoor front patio” without prior booking on a weekday evening.

• Minimum charge: no minimum charge is reported by any reviewer. The OpenRice price band is $101–200 per person, the standard mid-range Mediterranean band.
• Per-dog charge: not reported — none observed.
• Pet menu / treats: no dedicated dog menu; treats on the house are not documented. Bring your own.
• Payment methods (per OpenRice): Visa, Mastercard, Cash, American Express, UnionPay. A 10% service charge applies.
• Spend guidance: the signature burger and pizza-and-chips combo sit in the mid-range; one December 2025 reviewer logged HK$250/head for dinner with a beer.

There is no dedicated indoor pet zone — Big Fish is a full-service Mediterranean grill, not a café with a partitioned pet area. The practical pet-friendly zone is the front-of-house outdoor patio at Wan King Path, which OpenRice’s “Outdoor Seating” feature, BringFido and Petsona PawTable all flag.

• Relief area on-site: none — the Sai Kung promenade and the seafront public space 1 minute away is the easiest relief stop.
• Off-leash permitted? No. Treat it as on-leash throughout; FEHD baseline is ≤ 1.5 m.
• Distance from non-dog diners: the patio is street-facing and lightly screened by the building line — dogs are not segregated, but the layout keeps pet tables spaced out.
• Weather cover: the front patio is partially sheltered; Sai Kung sea breeze helps in summer but the front-of-house gets afternoon sun. Ask staff to seat you further back if your dog is heat-sensitive.

• Water bowl: yes — staff have been reported to bring out a water bowl to seated guests without being asked.
• Pet mat / pee pad: not provided — bring your own.
• Pet treats on the house: not documented.
• Pet menu: none — the kitchen is à la carte Mediterranean / grill; you can’t order a dog dish.
• Pet stroller parking: the front patio is wide enough to fold a stroller; the indoor room has level access from Wan King Path.
• Pet-friendly toilet: no — use the public toilets by the Sai Kung Pier or the promenade.

Big Fish sits at G/F, 18 Wan King Path, Sai Kung — directly on the Sai Kung waterfront strip, a couple of minutes from the Pier. There is no MTR to Sai Kung — you’ll need a minivan, taxi, or weekend-only bus.

• Minibus / van: green minivans from Hang Hau MTR (Exit B) — routes 11, 11A, 11S — drop at the Sai Kung Pier or the Wan King Path stop; the restaurant is 3 minutes on foot from the Pier.
• Bus: KMB routes 92, 96R (weekend only), 299X, and the 792M run from Diamond Hill MTR to Sai Kung on weekends; alight at the Sai Kung Town Hall stop and walk 5 minutes down Wan King Path.
• Taxi: a red Urban taxi from Hang Hau or Choi Hung is the easiest direct option, ~15–20 min depending on traffic.
• Step-free entry: yes — the patio is street-level off Wan King Path; the indoor dining room is also level.
• Lift required: no.
• Parking: Sai Kung has metered street parking on Wan King Path and around the Pier; the Sai Kung Car Park on Wai Man Road is the nearest public multi-storey option, a 3-minute walk.
• Drive time: roughly 30 min from Kowloon East outside peak hours; weekend mornings Sai Kung can take 45–60 min.

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

• Leash length ≤ 1.5 m (FEHD baseline; front patio staff have been reported as tolerant).
• No dogs on dining tables or bar seats (FEHD rule).
• 1.5 m exclusion from open buffets and salad bars (not applicable here — Big Fish is à la carte).
• 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:

• Front-of-house staff bring out a water bowl without being asked and seat dogs on the patio first; one reviewer noted being moved there on a weekday evening without a booking — the patio is the de-facto default for pets.
• No size cap is documented. No “X dogs per booking” cap reported. A calm medium-to-large dog on the patio is workable in our experience.
• The 10% service charge and a “may bring your own wine” corkage option are noted in OpenRice’s “Other Info” panel — neither impacts dogs.

1. Pick the front patio — it’s the de-facto pet section, and gopaw.io confirms the indoor room is also dog-friendly but the patio is the easy move.
2. Arrive 5 min early on a Sai Kung weekend — the promenade crowd fills Wan King Path by 18:30.
3. Carry your AFCD e-licence (iAM Smart) — they can ask.
4. Bring your own water bowl — staff provide a bowl on request, but a portable one is faster.
5. Order the signature burger + fresh-cut chips — the most consistently praised dish on the current OpenRice reviews.
6. Try the wood-fired pizza early — one December 2025 reviewer flagged the crust as the surprise winner.
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.

• Sai Kung Promenade & Waterfront Park — 2-min walk down Wan King Path to the seafront. The closest on-leash relief loop from Big Fish, with shade benches and several bins. Public toilets at the Pier are the easiest pet-friendly stop.
• Wan King Path waterfront cafés — multiple indoor-outdoor dog-friendly spots cluster within 50 m of Big Fish; great for a Sai Kung “lunch then cake” walk without reparking.
• More dog-friendly spots in Sai Kung — see our Sai Kung dog-friendly directory, including NeoArt3 Coffee Lover (three-storey café with rooftop terrace), CENA (Latin café), and Bistro Chuen Kee (cha chaan teng, waterfront).
