Ikigai Asian Cuisine Backnang in Backnang

We visited the Ikigai Asian Cuisine in Backnang on the occasion of our civil wedding and were absolutely thrilled! The ambience is stylish and inviting perfect for a special occasion. I tried the salmon burger, and what can I say: simply heavenly! I will definitely order him again. The sushi was also fresh and very tasty, a great selection of creative variations. The selection of drinks rounds the whole thing off perfectly. Everything here is just right. Many thanks to the team for the great food and friendly atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

Great service, super delicious food - always happy

Price-performance ratio is definitely right here. If you want to eat good sushi in Backnang, you are definitely in good hands here. The sushi was simply great both visually and in taste. The whole ambience of this restaurant is convincing. The service too.

The dishes are very tasty. The service is very friendly and the place is very cozy. Definitely recommended.

Date of visit: November 17, 2024 I had the pleasure of visiting this Asian restaurant on November 17, 2024 and it was a great experience! The ambience is very inviting and harmoniously perfect for enjoying a relaxed evening. The decoration is modern and at the same time authentic, creating a cozy and pleasant atmosphere. The food was fantastic! From the starters to the main courses - every dish was fresh, tasty and prepared with great attention to detail. Particularly noteworthy is the diversity of the menu, with something for every taste. The service was equally excellent: friendly, attentive and quick. An all-round successful evening, I'll definitely be back! Absolutely recommended!

Cash only. Or they accept only debit cards.

Always worth a visit! Very, very friendly staff, delicious food with a large selection and great atmosphere/nicely decorated! Keep it up 😉! Reservation is recommended to get a table!

Very nicely decorated restaurant, on the weekend there is a 2-shift principle, you have to reserve in advance but that's understandable. The food is very good and the drinks are very creative. The waiter is very very polite and attentive.

Very nice staff. Very hardworking and really very good food. The sushi and the warm dishes are great. I can only recommend it!

Super tasty food, very friendly waiter who takes the time to explain things and comfortable chairs. Plus good prices. I just found the music a bit inappropriate. Thank you for the pleasant experience!

Visiting our friends this weekend who introduced us to Ikaigi: pre-reservation for a Saturday lunchtime, calm and simplicity, kindness of the staff and we had a great time.

Schnelle Bedienung,freundliches Personal,hervorragendes Essen- gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.Bestes Restaurant/Essen im Umkreis von 100 km!

Very pleasant atmosphere, excellent service and very tasty food (also with enough vegan options)

Ikigai - Loosely translated, “That which is worth living for” or “The feeling of having something that is worth getting up for in the morning”. When you visit the Ikigai in Backnang you literally have something all day long that is worth getting up for in the morning. My many and varied visits have always led back to the same result. First-class service combined with quality food from sushi to ramen to simple appetizers or desserts; Here the overall package is unique. I have never had such a positive experience in an Asian/sushi restaurant as I did here. Added to this is the extremely beautifully designed ambience with different facets that you can explore depending on where you sit. The price is great, and we don't even need to get started on the overwhelming friendliness of the employees towards each other and towards the customers. My last visit was on my birthday and it was the best end to the day I could imagine. A birthday sushi platter with extras and candles, prosecco from the house to celebrate and great creativity from the sushi chef with the so-called “Omakase” menu. In this restaurant everything is right from start to finish, which is why it is well deserved and how could it be otherwise: 5 stars Attached are a few more pictures from my visits.

Very friendly and fast service. Super delicious food. I'll be back.

Super delicious sushi and excellent service. Everything just fits here!

It was very, very nice there, delicious food and friendly staff! The young waiter was super attentive.

Very nice Japanese restaurant, very good food and above all very nice staff. I would love to come here again.

Good fresh food, good selection and very nice and fast service :) recommended!

Perfect. Eating makes me happy!

We went here for lunch. A very beautiful and demanding place. The best and most delicious Asian restaurant in the area. We met divine foods, and the portions were more than adequate. It was very nice serving and atmosphere. Nice staff. We had a good time. We will go another time. I can only recommend it to everyone.

Always my pleasure. Reservations are recommended, otherwise you may have to be lucky depending on the time.

Very good I felt comfortable Delicious

We ordered the food online directly from the site. The given time was adhered to. We had written in the comment that we shouldn't ring the bell but instead call because the baby is sleeping. That worked too. The food tastes very tasty, the portions could have been a little larger for us.

Very delicious food and great service! The vegetable duck and mochi were like a dream! I want to come again! thank you very much!

We went to Ikigai for the first time today and were very impressed by the courteous, friendly service, the fresh sushi and the food. It was really fantastic. Price performance totally good.

Great sushi restaurant with quite unusual variations, very attentive staff! Thanks!

This restaurant has never disappointed me - very pleasant location, good service and beautifully presented, great food. Always an experience!

Great food, very good and nice service, great ambience and just wow.

I can't rate the ambience since I ordered. Food came quicker than confirmed. Very tasty dishes, the quality is excellent, value for money is right.

Food came very quickly. A reservation for the evening was still possible at midday. A large selection, including vegan food. There are parking options nearby.

I rarely give 5 stars for food, but in this case it applies. The mango dish with beef was on the highest level in terms of taste! Everything was super fresh and the beef was really good too. Only the atmosphere is a bit "busy" due to the many deliveries outside the home! Gladly again in Backnang...

Absolutely delicious sushi and bowls. Young and nice team. Thanks. Always a pleasure. Consistently good quality. Thanks again.

Very tasty food. Very attentive service. We felt completely comfortable and enjoyed our time there. We will be back.

Well, what can I say, it wasn't a one with an asterisk, but it was worth the money in a somewhat dark atmosphere.

Very beautiful and nice. The staff was very accommodating and very nice. Delicious food

Delicious food and friendly service.

Lime iced tea is highly recommended! But the food also tasted wonderful. Service also 1A. We would be happy to come back.

Delicious and reasonable prices. Every single piece of sushi was amazing. A gem in a small town! You must try it!

Service 4 stars, just because you should be able to speak German better on the phone. Otherwise tasty, fresh. Always my pleasure!

Super tasty and super friendly staff!

Simply delicious. The selection of food is great, as are the cocktails. I had ordered several times and also eaten there. The absolute favorite is the ramen soup with schoyu broth. The staff is also very courteous and friendly.

Super tasty sushi in an authentic atmosphere. Service was very courteous and friendly. The table was beautifully set. Can just be recommended.

It's been a while since I've eaten 🍣... the plate was very tasty

Extremely delicious and a high level of appreciation for the customers. Rarely have we experienced such friendly service. A highlight is the Surprise dish, definitely recommended...

Holds up to comparison with the top stgt restaurants, so 5 stars

Nice atmosphere and great sushi. I'd love to come back.

to recommend! very tasty curry with tender chicken! excellent sushi! friendly service! nice atmosphere! and at fair prices... great Asian restaurant!

Very cozy and super friendly service. Everything fresh. We would have loved to try the entire menu. When we are back in Backnang we would like to come back.

Simply delicious, nice service, everything was perfect. Always a pleasure.

I would never order anything here again. I accidentally ordered the same meal twice, tofu and rice with curry. We would have to pay despite the fact that it was ordered by mistake and they couldn't remember that they cooked the SAME thing and brought it twice. Not only that, but the rice with curry was extremely bad. You could say there was nothing at all except ULTRA lots of curry. You couldn't even choose how much curry you get. Even I, who really like curry, found it overdone and not at all Asian. Only tofu was good, but far too little for 5 euros. I can make it myself at home for 3 euros.

Invoice and menu prices do not match. Lieferando determines the prices, was the statement. For example, an alcohol-free cocktail is listed at 5.90 euros on the menu and was billed at 6.90 euros

The bill does not match the prices stated on the menu.

Great service and super delicious food. Definitely recommended.

Of course, taste is its own thing. The food is well prepared, the service is super friendly, but the taste didn't appeal to me.

Really great mix of Asian fusion cuisine. I think everyone will find something here. The tuna burger could be a little bigger, but tastes excellent. The decor has a Japanese touch and I really like it. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. We had a very nice evening.

If you go to Ikigai, I'd be happy to be there. 😊

Authentic, beautifully decorated restaurant. Selected and delicious dishes that are served quickly. But you should make a reservation, otherwise they are often fully booked.

It rarely happens. But 5 stars are simply justified. Ambiance, food, prices, service, what can I say. Simply great. Keep it up!

Great show during the plate serving and super nice staff 👍👍

Great, great, great 👌 something different. Delicious food in a nice atmosphere.

So good that I'm going again...everything tasted fantastic!

This evening I went to ikigai for the first time with my girlfriend. We were quite pleasantly surprised. As a "Japan professional" I know what Japanese cuisine should taste like. There are no Japanese chefs, but Vietnamese or Thai, but despite everything, the sushi tastes really good and there is not too much rice under the nigiri, which is what people like to do. My miso soup was a disaster at first. It tasted extremely sour. But it was replaced without any problems by a new, very tasty miso soup. Service was really very accommodating. All in all, I'm happy to give it a good 4 stars and will definitely come back and recommend the place and certainly use the delivery service. Upgrading my rating to 5 stars. I order regularly now and I have to say it's always TOP I would like to reduce my review from 5 to 1 stars, no I don't want to but unfortunately I have to. I've been thinking for a long time about whether I should give this review or not because I've been a regular customer for about 3 years now and regularly order food for around 80 to 100 euros. But what happened to me at the beginning of February doesn't fit into any shoe. On that Friday at the beginning of February this year I wanted to have sushi delivered to me again from Ikigai. Since sometimes no delivery service can be offered due to a lack of employees, I called to see if delivery could be made as a precaution. It was affirmed. No sooner said than done, I ordered sushi for 86 euros and paid via PayPal as usual. Half an hour later I looked at my ordering process and saw that the order didn't go any further. Call in ikigai. My order has not been received. When I asked about paying via PayPal, I was told that if I didn't receive a confirmation by email, it didn't work and no payment would be made. In fact, I didn't receive any confirmation via email. I was told to try again. Said and done. Half an hour later I looked again and the same thing again. Called again in ikigai. I was told that I should just try it again and they didn't know what the whole problem was. Well all good things come in threes. Said and done. Same problem again. Then I left it. 2.5 hours later, all 3 amounts are debited in one fell swoop. Then it almost hit me. I immediately called the restaurant and was told "oops, something must have gone wrong on our part" and they would prepare my food now. Then I said I didn't need it anymore and maybe they could have given me a quick call when three amounts totaling almost 270 euros were debited all at once. When I asked how the repayment was done, I was told that the money would of course be transferred back to my Paypal account. It was Saturday, it was Sunday, it was Monday. No reaction from ikigai. I wrote an email and politely asked to transfer the money back to me. No reaction. called 3 times. Then they said they hadn't received any money from me, then again they did and of course they would pay back. Excuses after excuses. My money was of course debited from my Paypal account and checking account and Paypal also confirmed this. Ultimately I had to request my money back via Paypal Buyer Protection. And had it again four weeks later. It's really a mystery to me what this behavior by ikigai was supposed to be about. I'm bitterly disappointed and pissed off about such behavior. Mistakes can always happen and I tried to solve it this way several times and was lied to. For me, this place has died and I can no longer recommend it. A pity

A beautiful atmosphere and very friendly staff. The ramen was super tasty and really filling. Tried it for the first time today and would love to do it again.

Delicious dishes at great value for money. Large selection of Asian dishes and sushi, homemade iced teas and lemonades. Friendly service, quick preparation and very good quality. Always a good address!

Unfortunately it's not as good as it was at the beginning, hence only 3 stars, for a new restaurant 4-5 stars would definitely be appropriate

DISAPPOINTMENT: Table reserved a week in advance - answer on the phone in a friendly manner: "Everything's okay!" At lunchtime of the planned meal I am there with a small bouquet of flowers (20 cm) for the evening (wedding anniversary surprise) with the request: "Put this on the table before we come!" Answer: "We don't have room to store this until the evening. Bring it with you tonight! Then you can put it up yourself!" Me: "Oh? Then please cancel the reservation!" I'm actually glad I don't have to spend the evening there! I love it when the setting in a restaurant is right, then the experience becomes more harmonious.

The soup Tom Kha Taleh and Curry with Rice was a revelation. The portions were generous, yet balanced. The service was just as exceptional as the food.

Food good and cheap - unfortunately a bit too steamy in the restaurant.

So brilliant!!! We spent a very nice evening here. The food is excellent. I was really skeptical. Raw fish... isn't really my thing. But I was taught a lesson. Really delicious. Service is TOP! We were here for the first time. But definitely not for the last time.

Delivery is the last rubbish. And we're talking about at least 20x deliveries here. 99% was missing something and 1 hour would be ok. But Ikigai is more of a flow than a gastro

Everything is perfect there. The food, the ambience, the service and the prices. I've eaten much worse sushi for a lot more money. One of the best sushi restaurants I've ever been to. Even when it was delivered, everything was always perfect.

Nice restaurant with a very good Asian selection of dishes. Prices are in a normal range, the portions are in a good proportion. Unfortunately I've only been here once. But will come again.

My favorite restaurant in Backnang. Super tasty, lots of choice, nice service and nice atmosphere :)

Great store. Staff are very friendly and the food is of very good quality! This is now our Asian tribe!

Wonderful dishes. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere.

Ich kann die positiven Bewertungen nicht wirklich verstehen. Wir haben zum Abholen bestellt und ich fand das Essen geschmacklich überhaupt nicht gut und den Preis für die Portionen leider auch viel zu hoch.

Sehr leckeres Sushi und auch der Cocktail war top! Preis ist nicht ganz günstig, aber bei der Qualität absolut angemessen! Freue mich schon auf den nächsten Besuch.

Sehr schwierig zu bewerten. Das Sashimi, Nigiris, Makos sind mangelhaft. Richtig schlechtes Handwerk. Merkt man aber nur wenn man das in exzellent beim Japaner, idealerweise in Japan essen konnte. Ist halt wie Maultaschen in Südafrika von einem Afghanen zubereitet. Alles mit bappsüßen Soßen versaut und anstatt sich beim Anrichten zu verkünsteln lieber auf die Speisen konzentrieren. Die Qualität der Zutaten ist gut. Jetzt noch nen guten japanischen Koch einstellen. Ups, ja klar ist ja asiatische Küche. Da fällt auch die östlich türkische Küche drunter. Bei den „japanischen“ Gerichte etwas mehr an Japan orientieren. Ach so, würzen ist mal 0 und dann wieder 200. Messlöffel wenn der Gaumen es nicht hergibt!

Meine Familie und ich waren heute im Ikigai Restaurant. Wir haben uns von Anfang an wohl gefühlt. Die Bedienungen sind sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Das Essen ist grandios und der Service ist sehr gut. Wir können das Restaurant zu 100% weiterempfehlen.

Tolles asiatisches Restaurant mit extrem gutem Sushi. Es gibt für jeden Geschmack etwas (asiatisch), das Ambiente ist super sowie der Service. Die Lage ist vielleicht nicht die Beste, jedoch trotzdem nur wenige Schritte von der Innenstadt entfernt. Ich bin normalerweise ein mal pro Woche zum Mittagstisch dort.

Wir haben uns bereits mehrfach beliefern lassen. Die Gerichte sind so unfassbar lecker, immer frisch und selbst geliefert sehr schön angerichtet. Die Qualität ist sehr sehr gut! Wir mögen das Essen und werden sicher weiterhin genießen.

Super tolles Restaurant es war Mega soooo lecker

Einfach nur super dieses Restaurant lecker,freundlich.... alles stimmt !!!

Was ist passiert? Es war mal qualitativ echt zwei Klassen besser... schlecht gerollt, dass alles rausfällt, Alge so hart, dass man ewig kauen muss. Die Qualität und der Geschmack vom Fisch war nicht gut. Wie gesagt war es Mal um Welten besser für den Preis auch...

Gestern dort gewesen, hier stimmt einfach alles. Das Essen war bombastisch, Service und Ambiente 1a. Für jeden was dabei.

Kleines nettes, sauberes Restaurant. Personal ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Essen ist hervorragend. Sehr frische Zutaten, nettes Ambiente, leider nur immer zu voll. Man hat sehr wenig Privatsphäre, hat man im Restaurant zwar nie aber hier sitzt man mit Fremden quasi an einem Tisch... Ich empfehle dieses Restaurant auf jeden Fall...

Essen ist OK war aber nur lauwarm schade. Wir waren mit einer Guppe zum Essen, nach ca. 1 1/2 Stunden wurde Abkassiert und uns auf die sanfte Art mitgeteilt das jetzt Feierabend ist. Ein nach bestellen von Getränke war Nicht mehr möglich. Einen zweiten Besuch wir es nicht geben.

Die langen Wartezeiten bei Ikigai Asian Cuisine in Backnang haben meine Erfahrung stark beeinträchtigt. Trotzdem muss ich sagen, dass das Essen, wenn es endlich serviert wurde, qualitativ hochwertig und schmackhaft war.

Waren zum Sushi Essen dieses Mal da. Einfach Sagenhaft! Das ganze noch perfekt Angerichtet und serviert. Nicht zu toppen!!!

Wir haben schon desöfteren hier bestellt. Alles was bei der Lieferung schief läuft, läuft im Laden direkt perfekt. Der Laden ist sehr schön eingerichtet, natürlich im asiatischen Styl. Auf der Decke schöne Kirschbaumzweige und die Raumtrennung schöne hölzerne Bögen. Der Service ist sehr zuvorkommend und nett. Das Sushi empfand ich als sehr frisch. Die Hauseigene Kreationen „Ikigai Sushi/Special Rolls“ sind sehr gut zusammengestellt. Was mir fehlt ist tatsächlich Oktopus auf der Speisekarte. Die Hauseigenen Eistees, erst recht Holunder, sind sehr gut. Leider muss ich einen Stern Abzug geben für die Lieferungen. Seit dem der Laden aufgemacht hat, haben wir schon bestimmt 4-5x bestellt. In den meisten Fällen für ca. 3-5 Leute und jedes mal Rechnungen von über 100€. Immer wurde etwas vergessen, mal die Stäbchen, mal Sojasoße mal ein bestelltes und bezahltes Gericht. Keine Sorge an alle ! Nach einem Anruf wurde direkt nachgeliefert, und z.B. eine Nachspeise aufs Haus angeboten. Ich hoffe dass bei der nächsten Bestellung alles komplett ist, sodass ich dann einen Stern mehr vergeben kann !

Sehr gutes Essen und sehr nette Mitarbeiter Ambiente ist schön im japanischen Style

Hervorragendes Sushi und andere Speisen, sehr schönes Ambiente und toller Service.

Sehr leckeres Essen... schönes Ambiente und freundliche aufmerksame Bedienung... komme immer wieder sehr gerne her ..

Super Lecker gewesen man hat gemerkt das alles Frisch war. Gerne kommen wir wieder. Erdnusssoße, Sushi und Mochi Eis waren ein Traum. Macht weiter so

Man kann hier wirklich sehr gut und lecker Essen. Immer frisch!

Essen war lecker und auch schön angerichtet. Service war schnell. Aber gefühlt schon darauf aus den Tisch möglichst schnell wieder frei zubekommen um diesen nochmals zu belegen. Kommen trotzdem bestimmt mal wieder.

Tolles Essen TOP ESSEN Wir kommen gerne wieder und sind sehr zufrieden! Tolle Auswahl Wir kommen gerne wieder zum genießen. Reservieren ist zu empfehlen! Sehr viel los auch unter der Woche

Super lecker und man fühlt sich einfach wohl

Restaurant halb voll, dauert trotzdem 15 Minuten bis nach gefragt wird was man trinken möchte. Keine Möglichkeit die Bestellung aufzuschreiben. Sushi war nur durchschnittlich, z.b Makki war der Reis zu trocken und das Algenblatt zäh wie Kaugummi. Preis Leistung geht gar nicht für den Service und das Essen. Ambiente ist aber ganz gut hierfür 4 Sterne.
