The "sister" restaurant in Charlottesville is the place I first remember seeing anything Tiki. I was born in Charlottesville, but we moved away when I was 2. When we would return to visit relatives, we almost always went to this place for Chinese food since it was such a treat then. You see, we lived on the "Eastern Shore" (Delaware+ Maryland+ Virignia = DelMarVa) which at the time had only your basic local seafood and steak restaurants. I was fascinated by the decor, the drink mugs etc.

The waiters here did not seem to even know that ID should be checked let alone do so.
We had an absolute blast and went back for repeat performances throughout college even though beer reigned supreme otherwise during those years.

was called "south pacific" as well? if so that would suggest that "south pacific" was a chain specific to virginia. on the other hand, with the arlington and roanoke locations being named south pacific and fiji island respectively, the charlottesville location could have been called something different but as above, used the same matchbook / menu graphics...

too bad willtiki has kind of disappeared... he might have remembered...
