They advertised an all you can eat buffet for New Years Day on their Facebook page for $20 and they opened at noon. We got there at 12:15 pm and and sat at the bar so we didn't have to wait for someone to seat us. Stood in line for 20 minutes for the buffet and hardly any food was out. My husband said I am not paying for this and I said just order off the regular menu and one of the staff rudely stated that you can't order from the menu and it was only the buffet but the Facebook page nowhere specified that it would only be the buffet. The buffet set up was just random bowls of food set up on a table. I have never seen such a mess. We came from out of town, west side of Cleveland area and have been to many Asian buffets and this was ridiculous. We have eaten here in the past and saw this advertised and remembered the food was good last time but were so disappointed we drove so far for this mess. Went up for second round of food to see if they restocked and same mess, hardly any food. We saw they posted after 2:00 pm on their Facebook page that they ran out of food. I will say that Clarissa behind the bar who took care of us was really nice but whoever was working with her behind the bar was rude and when we voiced our complaints to them, they said if you got one plate of food for $20 that we were lucky because their average plate of food is $16 when they don't have the buffet. Unacceptable answer. Will never be back. Seems like they are more focused on serving alcohol than food so if you just want a big alcohol selection than this is your place.

Do Not Advertise an All you Can Eat Buffet for New years Day if you are not planning to keep it going all day. Total BS. We got there at 2:30 and the buffet was already done (The buffet started at noon). We were told there was no more food but we could still drink. Our plan was to come there and eat the $20 buffet and drink $2 beers, instead of making dinner at home. Fortunately Landmark was open so they got our $200 plus tip. Do better. Advertise differently, or do reservations.

The best mixture of Asian food and beer!! We drive an hour to eat here and the food is delicioud every time! With 84 beers on tap to choose from, it's our go to spot.
12/2/2025 updated We've moved further away than an hour and had not been able to come back for a while. Had some time off and drove 3 hours with few buddy of ours to share the experience (especially the Caramelized Catfish claypot) and it did not disappoint and was just as good as we remembered. This spot is definitely a destination- with so many options to choose from as always- definitely with the drive!

Price point is exceptional for the unprecedented meal you'll receive here; fresh sushi, portions are perfect. Industrial indoors, multiple bars, IPA's and sours made by them, served here. Get a flight and find your favorite!

Small City is my go to restaurant in Sandusky. My favorite items are the hot and sour soup, spring rolls and the chicken wings with magic sauce.

We had my daughter’s wedding rehearsal dinner at Small City Tap House, and it couldn’t have gone better. They were so accommodating, even with our last-minute request for a group of 25, and seated us all together at one long table—it felt so special. The food was delicious, and the service was wonderful—friendly, attentive, and never rushed. They truly made sure we had a relaxed and memorable evening. We’re so grateful to the staff for helping make this celebration such a lovely start to the wedding weekend!

Small City Taphouse – Sandusky, OH 🌆🍣
We stopped in for sushi, spicy noodle rice, and orange chicken — and wow. Every bite tasted freshly made, bursting with flavor, and had just the right amount of heat. You can tell they care about what they serve.
If you’re anywhere near downtown Sandusky and want food that hits the spot without trying too hard, this is the place. Great atmosphere, friendly people, and food that’ll have you planning your next visit before you even finish eating.

This place was a great find! Easily the best sushi we’ve had outside of the west coast. The fish was fresh and the Vietnamese dishes were on point - again, the best we’ve had outside of Seattle. Don’t miss the wonton soup, I Pho with It roll (if you like spicy), and of course, pair it with the drink of your choice! We can’t wait to go back and try some of the noodle dishes and of course, more sushi.
