Description:
this polynesian/chinese restaurant sits on the relative outskirts of this remote Virginia town. the tikis per square yard was relatively low, but the hostess desk had a tiki mask backlit with a red lightbulb, there was matting, bamboo and murals on the walls, and the classic if amateurish menu included a full line of drinks and polynesian food.

opened in 1972 (or before?), currently owned by Charles Chang, originially of Taiwan.

it appears that the venue is kept going by a music club in the basement: http://www.theclubatfiji.com/MainPage.htm
