Reviews for Lakeview Pearl Sushi Bar & Asian Bistro in New Orleans, LA

Very good rolls. Crab Rangoon was delicious

I come here 2-3 times a week for pickup. The sushi is great quality for the price, it definitely isn't overwhelming. There is... also a large selection of pieces including rolls, hand rolls and of course, sushi and nigiri. Lakeview pearl is an greatrestaurant to quench your craving for some quick and delicious sushi. Read more

Accustomed to North Shore manners and customer service, we weren't shocked or surprised at our experience here. We were looking... for something light and quick, and were looking forward to the quiet calm of the restaurant during the LSU game. Sideswiped by aserver who crashed into us like a dump truck skidding sideways off a gravel road, we were advised that our youngest diner (my20ish son who doesn't eat much) could not order a kids meal..fine, so we ordered up an entree, a baked salmon roll, and a coupleof Miso soups. The soup was hot, tasty, everything good. The underwhelming Chicken Teriyaki was what you'd expect from mostAmerican sushi places I guess, chicken breast doused in a Sysco sauce and not properly sauteed or finished, some sliced onionswhich were caramelized just enough to not appear raw, but still hot and accompanied by pretty good stickier than average steamedrice. The Baked Salmon Roll slammed the brakes on the out of control dump truck experience, though...it was presented nicely bythe server, now back pedaling from her initial "bright lights in the rear view mirror tailgating one foot behind you going 55 ina 20" greeting, looking more like a pecan log roll at a Stuckee's rather than a proper dish. Stuffed with artificial crabmeatand wrapped with a small rubber band like ribbon of salmon which I could barely taste actually, it was lumpy, dumpy, and well,really disappointing. The artificial crab nougat center was room temperature, well, maybe slightly around body temperature, andhonestly, I couldn't finish it. If we do show up again, I'll be asking for a less aggressive server and stick with the soup andmaybe something on the Tempura side of the table..typically bullet proof in the kitchen. Yikes!

Fantastic local neighborhood Sushi restaurant. Of course, the freshest tasting sushi and flavorful soups and sushi rice. We... enjoyed the miso soup, the clear soup and the Chirashi. Also, the salad dressing was amazing with the freshest ginger flavour. The service was quick and professional. Highly recommend! Read more

As a frequent consumer of Sushi I found Lakeview Pearl to be exceptional. The server was kind and attentive, the restaurant very... clean, and the Sushi featured fresh quality ingredients at a great value. The thick cut ginger also served as a stand out asbest ginger I've tasted at a Sushi Restaurant to date! 5.0 Read more

The food was fantastic, and unlike most sushi places I have been, it was fast. The menu also has clear indicators of what is in... each dish and if it has any raw ingredients (my wife won't do raw in sushi). And the cowboy roll was just perfect. I will beback, only downside is that it is a 45 minute drive from home for me, but only a few minutes out of the way between the Causewayand New Orleans. Read more

Absolutely wonderful! I couldn?t believe it when they brought out the rolls and how much great sushi was in them. I?m from out... of town and this will be a place I recommend my friends come to. Read more

01/26/17: 4.0 out 5 - Coming from Portland, Oregon with close friends. Six of us total to be exact, and we're all... "Foodies". Admittedly, we did not know what to really expect being we just arrived and this was our first night in New Orleans. We were surprised with a lot of places closes by 9 PM. Lakeview Pearl Sushi Bar and Asian Bistro just so happened to be closeto the AirBnB we all were staying at. It is a local restaurant with parking available. Lakeview definitely was a good place tobe with close friends on the first night. The staff were quick to greet and seat us, and they all were great and good tous. The food was prepped well and quite tasty. We seemed to have a decent variety. The drinks (cocktails) were actually verygood and went well with all the food we ordered. If you never have been or visiting the area, definitely worth trying once anddeciding for yourself. Enjoy! Read more
