1983 Chinese Cuisine Restaurant

One of the best Cantonese restaurants in DC!
Everything we tried was delicious — from the tender BBQ pork and savory beef ribs to the fresh dim sum and crispy egg tarts. The pineapple buns were warm and buttery, perfectly paired with tea. Portions are generous, and the flavors taste truly authentic, just like what you’d find in Hong Kong. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere felt cozy yet vibrant. Highly recommend for anyone craving real Cantonese comfort food in DC!

Stumbled onto this place for an impromptu dinner. The interior is beautiful with the bar making a dramatic presence. We ordered spring rolls, orange chicken and dry pepper chicken. The spring rolls were the best we ever had, the orange chicken had such fresh orange flavor, and the pepper chicken was fantastic. Everything was served hot. They provide nice to go boxes and a super cute
Quality thermal bag as well. We will be back.

Everything was very well-prepared, delicious and fresh. Shrimp, chicken and vegetables were fantastic.

Except the fish, was overcooked and still fishy.

Attentive service.

Celebrated my hubby's birthday at this restaurant last night and the food did not disappoint. We were a big group but servings are huge that we still got to take home some of our orders. Service and ambience are spectacular. The manager was so charming and pleasant. We will def go back again!

I came to the restaurant with a group of friends, and we were all blown away! It was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Arlington! The food was incredible — every dish was full of authentic flavor, beautifully presented, and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was modern yet cozy, making it a great spot for both group dinners and date nights. Check their bar area definitely, the display, the signature cocktails, definitely a high-end Chinese restaurant.

Also the service was as impressive as the food. Their server and the manager were so attentive and friendly — they took time to explain dishes and even recommended a special item that was off-menu. It turned out to be one of the highlights of the night! (that spicy fried fish and spicy boil beef)

We ended our meal with their pineapple bun dessert, which was hands down the best I’ve ever had. You can tell how much care and pride goes into everything they serve.

Highly recommend this spot to anyone who looking for amazing Cantonese food in Arlington! Can’t wait to come back!

Before our flight, we decided to visit this restaurant due to time constraints. We didn’t expect much at first, because most Chinese restraints aren’t very authentic. Surprisingly, the dishes all tasted quite authentic, and I was reminded of China. Although this place can’t compare exactly to my hometown in China, it still was a quite nice experience for me. The prices weren’t too bad either. All in all, the experience was great, service was wonderful, and the atmosphere felt like a Chinese restaurant back home(although loud). Highly Recommended!!
