🍽️ This Arlington dim sum spot does NOT look like a dim sum spot.
1983 Chinese Cuisine just opened in National Landing and it’s a whole different vibe. White marble walls, mirrored ceilings, and a full bar. Not what you’d expect walking into a Cantonese restaurant.
The menu has close to 100 dishes. We’re talking dim sum platters, Peking Duck, honey-glazed char siu, and way more. They serve dim sum until 4pm every day so you don’t have to rush for a weekend-only window.
🥟 Almost 100 Cantonese dishes
🍜 Dim sum served daily until 4pm
🥂 Full bar with cocktails
🏛️ Modern white marble interior
📆 Mon, Wed-Fri: 11AM-10PM | Sat-Sun: 10:30AM-10PM | Closed Tuesdays
⏰ Dim sum available until 4pm daily
📍 1101 S Joyce St, Ste B26, Arlington, VA 22202
