Such a cute spot with great vibes and consistently good service. The sushi was fresh and beautifully made — but the LSU Roll was the STAR. So delicious, perfectly balanced, and honestly one of the best rolls I’ve had in a while.
If you’re in the Lakeview area and craving sushi, this is the place. I’ll definitely be back!

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 close to the AirBnB we all were staying at. It is a local restaurant with parking available. Lakeview definitely was a good place to be with close friends on the first night. The staff were quick to greet and seat us, and they all were great and good to us.
The food was prepped well and quite tasty. We seemed to have a decent variety. The drinks (cocktails) were actually very good and went well with all the food we ordered.
If you never have been or visiting the area, definitely worth trying once and deciding for yourself. Enjoy!

For the last 6 years we have lived 4 blocks away, and have dined at Lakeview Pearl less than 12 times. Reason being is the food is nothing spectacular. Shogun on vets has better quality meat, and the prices are not as high… Tonight will be the last time we visit Lakeview Pearl. Let me show you why. We do not order our rolls with rice, we have always ordered them with no rice, only the meat and vegetable wrapped in either soy or rice paper. We order them this way all over the country, and the rolls visually look quite similar to the other rolls which have rice. Tonight was a special kind of experience. We ordered 2 rolls, no rice. When we picked them up we had no reason to inspect the order, we never had the restaurant forgot anything. We paid, grabbed the bag and headed home.. That’s when it got really special… Upon visually inspecting the rolls we found what you see in the photos.. It appears that Lakeview Pearl decided no rice means the customer only gets 1/2 a roll or less. In 25 years of eating sushi, I have never seen a restaurant make the roll so significantly smaller. They always are about the same size as every other roll, maybe a tad smaller, but not what you see. I guess they are really hard up for $, and thought it would be appropriate to present their customer with this.. I have trouble believing any sushi chef would be ok with this..We immediately sent the photos to few friends who are also restauranters. We had to know if what they sold us was out of the ordinary in their expert opinion. It turns out they all agree that what we were given is not acceptable. In closing, it goes without saying that this was not a good idea Pearl. Imagine how many people we will share these photos and story with..?? Its a great conversation, which will also bring many laughs. I hope this helps just one person. If not, maybe the Pearl will close and a better restaurant will open. That would be fantastic..The owners of Juniors would be a great tenant.

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!

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 as best ginger I’ve tasted at a Sushi Restaurant to date! 5.0

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.

The prices listed on the website are 30% less than what they charge you. The rolls are smalll, This is $20 of a spicy crunchy tuna and Metairie roll. Don’t waste your money.
