Did a little online research on South Pacific Chinese Restaurant at 1152 Beacon St, in Newton.;
I tried the phone number (617) 332-7250 but it just rang and rang (will try during the evening hours).
City Search gives them an interesting description though -
" With its unchanged Polynesian motif and nondescript lounge area, South Pacific maintains a charming, retro-kitsch atmosphere. Generations of area families have spent their Sundays plowing through plates of straightforward Chinese comfort fare (pork fried rice, subgum shrimp chow mein, pineapple chop suey). Bargain combination dinners for one combine an entree with a couple of appetizers and some rice. Luncheon specials cost as little as $5 and are served daily, except for Sundays, until 3pm. This part of Newton is seriously devoid of any bars--South Pacific's lounge has a TV (albeit a small one) and cheap drinks, for those looking to catch the Sox game."
The operating hours are listed as Mon-Sat 11:30am-12:30am Sun 12pm-12:30am.

Sounds like a cool place
