Needs more variety. Cold and sat food you can tell. They have eh service. The workers in the back who come out to check the food and clean up food area seem like they hate their jobs. read more

This place is awful. The food is mediocre. Just shut it down so we can use that building for something else. Durant deserves better

Good place to eat very clean and wonderful buffet. Reasonably priced. Nice variety of foods especially when they serve frog legs.

Food was extremely sub part. I recently moved to Durant and have driven buy this place a few times and there has never been anyone there. I drove by today and there were a few cars in the parking lot so I stopped in. Not a single item on their buffet was what I would call good. Everything was stale or tasted like 3 day leftovers, most of it just gross. Do yourself a favor and skip past this place. If you feel the need for a chinese buffet drive to Sherman. read more

Tried at lunch. Average Chinese buffet. Nothing special. Pretty good selection and food was good. Good service and clean place. Might go again if I needed a Chinese fix. read more

The food is good but the service isnt so great. We went to have a late lunch today and there today. I had to remind the hostess to get our drinks after she stood at the register and watched us eat without them. Her excuse was she is training someone. That is terrible training if she is forgetting what is literally the one thing she has to bring to the table. read more

Basic Chinese, food not hot and price was too much! I don't think I will be back! Didn't elven give senior discount! read more

Amazing fresh food and it's always tended to and never let sitting even if your the only one in the entire restaurant. There are so many choices of food, and everyone of them are so good! I highly recommend this place. They also give God out to fire, police and EMS! Really friendly staff and good customer service in addition to FANTASTIC prices! read more

We had an amazing trip, and it was so welcoming! It was so quiet I didn't even notice when it was dinner rush everyone was so polite and nice. The food was pretty good as well! I'm allergic to coconut so I was a bit afraid to try some of the deserts but my daughter thoroughly enjoyed herself! The end of the night was the real treat. A lady had been sat and a server had brought her the ticket, as she had done to us as well. I thought nothing of it and paid it so it would be out of the way when it came to the table. The lady threw a fit, telling her what horrible customer service it was to bring someone their check. The waitress I could tell was uncomfortable but still, she smiled and apologized. The staff handled it very professionally and didn't escalate the situation further. I felt bad for her family that had to endure her nasty behavior, but we will be back again! Hopefully the other lady will not :) read more

This is one of the few Chinese restaurants in Durant, but the food is always fresh and quite tasty. Typical Chinese buffet fare is offered. Updated to include recommended dishes: crab Rangoon, chicken on a stick, rice noodles, and a really good baked, stuffed shrimp. Unfortunately there are no hours operation posted on the door, but we made a gamble that they opened at 11am. There is, though, a note on the door which sort of says they are closed Saturdays. The service is excellent and my tea glass was never empty. There are no TVs and pleasant music is playing. Overall a good experience and was as expected. read more

Taste Island - a variety of food in a buffet - Chinese Near Me - Durant, Oklahoma

The worst place in town. Can barely even get down the fried rice. Upset I even paid for that and didn't say anything. Truly the worst Chinese buffet I've ever been to. read more

If you are expecting something amazing here, you will be let down. However, if you are looking for a solid buffet with some AMAZING apple pastries then this is spot on. The service is nothing great, the ceiling is spray painted to look like clouds, and the tinting is cut out to show the open sign. Does this make it less worthy of a visit? Well, that's up to you... Would I go back? Yes Would I recommend? Yes read more

See all

The food is solid BUT the last few times my family has visited the facility needs some serious maintenance/CLEANING. The bathrooms need a little money put into them... they look like they belong more in a gas station in a ruff neighborhood. The worse part is the carpet in the main seating area.... Obviously this is a buffet so kids will be there, and stuff will be dropped, BUT is a carpet shampooing every now and then too much to ask!? It looks like they just sweep the stuff up leaving remnants and stains everywhere. Again the food is pretty good, and the employees are nice BUT the restaurant needs a lot of work! read more

Just left this restaurant. First time and last time. Not hip on the fake fried rice. It's steamed with the vegetables and a little soy sauce added for color. The only thing that was half way decent were the egg rolls and they are more like spring rolls. Which was fine. I ate the broccoli chicken, "fried rice", spicy chicken, egg roll and had egg drop soup with tea. Not very good but I did eat it as I hadn't eaten all day. (I'm sure I'll pay later). Sad this place isn't any better as it's only one of two Asian food places here besides going to the casino. read more

It's a family tradition that the day we come home from camping, we stop for lunch at a Asian-type buffet place, which is how I found myself covered in three days of gross, wearing hiking socks with flip-flops and across the street at a gas station, calling Taste Island to ensure that they serve some sort of asian food. The sign itself looks Asian, but they're also called "Taste Island"...which really meant nothing to me. Answer? Yes, they do. Sort of. This place is your typical Chinese buffet joint, with weird table arrangement, children on the loose everywhere you look and a lovely old man at the front desk to tell the hostess to get back to work. We went on a Monday afternoon around 1, and there were still quite a few groups still there for lunch (of course it is across from a casino, so that might be why). The food offerings were typical -- sweet and sour chicken, fried donuts, egg drop soup, soft-serve ice cream, crab legs and more. Honestly? Crab legs were the best part of the meal, and they really weren't that great. The food was edible, but not one dish was delicious, which kept each of the members of our party from going back for seconds. This probably is the best that Durant, OK has to offer for Asian cuisine, but then again that's probably because it's Durant, OK. read more

Very small buffet but everything I tried was good.. especially the jalapeño chicken. .. can't go wrong with the crab legs of course... don't know why was rated low read more

Taste Island - the outside of a restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Durant, Oklahoma

Horrible and cheaply strung together buffet. I would actually give it "0" Stars, but unfortunately Yelp makes me give it at least one. I think the most horrendous thing was the stuffed shrimp which appeared and tasted like a piece of chicken with a piece of shrimp between it. Didn't go back for seconds and it's a buffet. Yuck! read more

Poor food... They dont like putting more stuff out and everything is old... Not worth the trip

Not the best Chinese food in the world, but it will do when you've got a craving.

I haven't been here in a long time so I thought I'd go. The food was ok. I filled me up on crab cakes and steamed rice.

Decent food to satisfy your Chinese cravings. The soup is barely warm. They do not serve ginger and said they had no idea where to buy it. Hot lamps are shining on all the cold items. Recipes are OK though. Drive to Sherman or Denison for a better selection. read more

Best chinese in this area. Better than any around. Great taste no matter time of day. Butter shrimp and the chicken with black pepper and jalapeños are both great. Homemade egg roll and not frozen. Quick and friendly service. Clientele is a bit sketchy at times though. read more

I absolutely love Taste Island. It isn't the best in the world but they do have good food at a reasonable price and friendly staff. The building is also very clean. I have never had an issue with this restaurant. read more

Taste Island is decent. There aren't very many entrees, especially for a buffet, but they have all of your basics(egg rolls, rangoons, sweet n sour, ect). If you go at dinner time, they have crab legs...yay! I would recommend going only when they're busy, especially if you plan on eating crab legs, as they don't seem to pull food very often, and it's only good when its fairly fresh! If your in Durant, want Asian food and lots of it Taste Island is your place. read more
