Island Palace Restaurant

Island Palace Restaurant operates from the Shops at Oriole Estates at 4170 North State Road 7 in Lauderdale Lakes, sharing the plaza with several of the city’s Caribbean restaurants, including Bak A Yaad Cuisine, Singh’s Roti Delight and Grio Express Taste of Caribbean, positioning it as one of a small number of Chinese-American kitchens operating directly alongside a concentrated cluster of Jamaican and Haitian food businesses rather than in a Chinese-restaurant-specific plaza further south. Its category listing spans Chinese and American restaurant classifications, the standard combination for the kind of Chinese-American takeout menu, built around dishes like General Tso’s chicken, lo mein, egg rolls and combination plates, that dominates this segment of restaurant in South Florida strip plazas.

Directory records also list a separate business, Migen Enterprises Inc, at the identical address and phone number, which strongly suggests Migen Enterprises is the corporate entity that owns and operates the restaurant under the Island Palace trade name, a common arrangement where a restaurant’s storefront sign and its formal state paperwork carry two different names. That listing puts the business at twenty-two years in operation, which would place its founding at roughly 2004. A search of Florida’s Division of Corporations records did not turn up an entity spelled exactly “Migen Enterprises,” though a closely related name, Migenis Enterprises LLC, appears in current state records; whether this is the same entity under a slightly different spelling, or an unrelated company, could not be confirmed through the sources available for this profile.

Island Palace keeps some of the longer daily hours among the businesses in its plaza, opening at 9 in the morning and running until 10pm on weeknights, 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and closing slightly earlier, at 9pm, on Sundays. It accepts the standard range of major credit cards according to its Yellow Pages listing, and no customer reviews were attached to that listing at the time this profile was compiled.

For residents of the Shops at Oriole Estates area looking for a Chinese-American meal without leaving the plaza that otherwise anchors much of the neighborhood’s Jamaican and Caribbean food options, Island Palace is one of the more established options, with a stated history stretching back roughly two decades even if its precise corporate paper trail carries some ambiguity around the exact spelling of its registered company name.

The Shops at Oriole Estates plaza itself functions as a kind of one-stop retail hub for this section of Lauderdale Lakes, packing a half dozen or more independent food businesses into a single strip center along with the bakeries and salons typical of a neighborhood shopping plaza. Island Palace’s placement inside that mix, offering a cuisine distinct from its Jamaican and Haitian neighbors, gives shoppers a reason to make a single stop for very different kinds of takeout on the same visit to the plaza.
