China King Super Buffet — Restaurant in Haverhill

I used to live in a town over and would eat here once a week, now that I moved I have to say this restaurant it's something I truly miss. My buddy lives in town and I make sure whenever I'm visiting we stop for dinner. Don't be fooled by the outside, once you go in the atmosphere completely changes. This place is quite lovely, some nice art on the walls and the overhead ceiling above the food is pretty cool. They have plenty of seating and plenty of room I usually only go during the week due to my schedule so I never see how busy it gets on weekends. They have a wide selection including the basics fried rice, chicken fingers, egg rolls, lo mein, and different selections of seafood including a small sushi bar in the back. They have a lot more than mentioned and I'm always finding something new to try. Desserts they have a small ice cream bar along with a selection of jell-o's, puddings, and cakes. I'm not a drinker but they do have a bar set up by the entrance. They have a couple TVs at the bar and another couple in the dining area which I feel ruins the atmosphere. I recommend going for dinner, a little more expensive but you get better options but it also depends on your taste. My only gripe and it's a small one, the staff don't seem to care that you're there. It's not that they're rude, they just seem to be going through the routines. Also they tend to make mistakes on our basic drink orders, Little Things like I asked for no ice and get ice, my friend asked for water and got Sprite. All together though the little gripes I can forgive, and usually just laugh it off with my friends. This is a great place to eat with a great food selection at...

Called to ask what the menu prices were, as the only menu I see online is 3 years old. I called at 347pm and was told 10.99 for adults and for children 3+ all I heard was 99 but whatever, I was excited for the 10.99 adult buffet (on a saturday? In 2023?), but I figured it would be about $37 and enough to leave a great tip, eat quickly and get back to our hotel for the night, as our kids were tired from a long trip and we're on a tight budget. When I arrived I was quickly greeted and sat and never saw buffet pricing (we had kids age 3, 1.5, and 4mos in tow). The food was pretty decent, i had one plate my kids had some nuggets, fruit, jello and ice cream. My husband said the French fries were cold. When we got the bill, it was $59 and it included a 12% tip. I was extremely confused and when I questioned the bill, I was given a folded menu showing a Saturday evening 3-10pm buffet pricing of 16.99 and children 6.99. Our drinks weren't badly priced but I wasn't expecting to have to pay so much after being told a different price on the phone only a little over an hour prior, I gave them $60 cash and left. I feel scammed, and that's bad business. Dinner hours said from 3-10 but even if it were 4-10 and me calling at 347 you should say the pricing changes in less...

Buffet is Superb Value for the money!!

Yesterday I found myself wanting to go there, to read a book & enjoy a Variety of foods. Their buffet is just great! The food is All Acceptably good. Not outstanding, but decently good -- and for the price, it's amazing! Likewise the decor. Nothing amazing at all about it, kinda dated & worn. BUT. On a rainy day? To sit and read a book, while taking my time to enjoy a Variety of foods?

On a rainy Sunday afternoon, (I arrived around 4 pm), the place was full but not overcrowed. The buffet was being continually refreshed while I was there, nothing seemed to sit for very long. The waitstaff were there to remove used plates quickly. (Make sure to move your silverware to a napkin when you get up for seconds!)

Sure, for each & every item I could find some specific place that has it better. But every item they have, although not it's Very best example, is still perfectly delicious!

And to enjoy a nice leisurely meal, full of a variety of different items I like? (And, seconds on whatever I want, without wasting money by buying too much for just-in-case?) For a similar price as I would've spent at McD's? Right now this is my 100% favorite restaurant, for reasonably good food at an Excellent...
