Dog-Friendly Chinese Restaurants in London for Lunar New Year (2026 Guide)

Lunar New Year is about coming together with your family and loved ones, sharing good food, and welcoming a fresh start. And for many of us, family includes our dogs.

If you’re deciding where to celebrate with your pup, we’ve rounded up 20+ dog-friendly Chinese restaurants across Chinatown, Soho, Covent Garden, Shoreditch and Battersea Power Station — places where you can enjoy dumplings, soak up the atmosphere, and welcome the New Year side by side.

We’ve also created an interactive Google Map to make planning easy.

This is a curated edit from our larger guide to dog-friendly Asian restaurants across London, which you can explore HERE.

All venues are verified and community recommended. As always, call ahead to confirm current dog policies before visiting.
