Yes. You can go at mid afternoon there are so many options

Some undercover seating is available.

Better to get it before going there.. only one shop sells with limited options.

I saw 2 dogs fighting there once, they didn't seem very friendly.

Yes, but you've got to exchange it for they're own gift card first, you can't just use it straight away at one of the stores.

We went through during business hours so I would say no dogs.

Yes, there's a South Indian shop with Thalis

There are some vegetarian and vegan dumplings and soup noodles there, so yes!
