    The new chicken and broccoli on quinoa bowl
    Bill Z.

    The worst thing about going to this CoreLife is getting into the plaza where it is, with all the left turns off main roads, lengthy red lights, etc.. The inside is pretty standard. There was a smaller crew there, but they worked efficiently, and our orders were prepared quickly. I particularly liked the new chicken and broccoli on quinoa bowl. I'm also glad they started listing some of the nutritional information on the labels of some of the fountain drinks. I had no idea just how much sugar was in some of them!!! Fountain drink cups were smaller too, not that it matters since refills are free. All in all, it was a good visit, and a healthier option for a quick meal than other nearby fast food options.

    I haven't been here in a few years. The ordering is cattle style and I wished I had looked online ahead; I pressured myself to order. Staff was friendly and helpful but there were was too many people for dinner on a Thursday night. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. We both had salad/bowls and I would like to try a broth next time.

    Tuna Poke Fire
    Dustin W.

    Reminds me a of a healthy chipotle - this is slightly pricier and less filling though. Poke seemed pretty dry and not a ton of protein pieces. I ordered the larger size and finished it with some room to spare. Presentation of food was good but the taste was mediocre. This is a healthier option so it may not have the same heaviness/carbs at other places. The juices are definitely their strongpoint. It's unique and some are very tasty (some not so much) but I think it's very person dependent on the ingredients used. Little things that were missed was the utensils not being restocked so they only had knives for people to eat and didn't realize till I notified them. Also, one of the juice dispensers was jammed so I was unable to try. Overall a mediocre place - higher prices for eh food but it is healthier. I may come back to try as I only had one item and the menu is pretty extensive. Would recommend their juice as its unique and you're bound to find a tasty one. With what I tried though not very impressed and not a place I would seek out specifically.

    My core life salad
    Meredith N.

    Like every other time another great experience! This place is 100% gf minus the wraps. I got a salad bowl - I think southwest or spicy chicken. It was yummy and delicious. I got a side of gf Mac and cheese which was better then good! The two people who were working were helpful and patient! The lobby was clean. There was only one trash can which at first was hard to find. Maybe they could add another one in a more efficient place! But minus me looking lost in trash in my hands it was yummy and nice experience!

    BYO Salad with tuna, edamame, pickled onions, mushrooms, scallions and beets on a bed of romaine and spinach with Thai cashew dressing.

    Feed the Core Here. There are quite a few healthy options for varying preferences depending what you order. I did a build your own salad: the base options are great like greens or grains, then the extra ingredients I added I enjoyed, but I could see that the choices available may not satisfy some picky eaters, lol. There is definitely enough dressings to choose from to compliment your chosen dish.

    Spicy Thai Chicken & Rice Noodle
    Amanda E.

    This place is yummy!! They offer a large variety of healthy meals. They are very clean too! I always choose the spicy Thai chicken bowl because I love it so much but one of these days I'll pick something different!! They also have several selections of all natural beverages. I come here on my lunch break on occasion when I need a guilt-free meal.

    Tuna poke bowl
    Harry P.

    This place needs to come to Jersey! Healthy choices , fresh ingredients, and lots of customization. They have different pre assembled bowls you can choose from with different proteins and toppings or you can make your own. They also have a ton of interesting lemonades and teas. I got the tuna poke bowl. The tuna was extremely flavorful and fresh and was topped with half an avocado (they did not skimp). Next time I would get a different lettuce instead kale (they have a ton of mixes). This place makes eating "healthy" fun.

    Rice bowl that was supposed to have a lot of veggies.

    Core life eatery is a decent spot to get "healthier" options. The selection is pretty decent and the food is generally fresh.

Unfortunately, there was a strong cold draft at floor level, leaving our feet uncomfortably cold throughout the meal. The hostess was sweet and greeted us with a smile. The food service was unremarkable. Our waiter was not particularly friendly nor personable. The drinks were a weak start. The red sangria was poor. The bourbon cocktail was an odd mix of bourbon, apple cider, and other elements--an awkward, Frankenstein-style whiskey sour that simply didn't work. Worst of all, both drinks were served in thin plastic cups, which immediately cheapened the entire experience. I ordered the falafel sandwich and specifically requested a toasted bun. It arrived not just room temperature, but cold. I sent it back, and it returned burning hot... the bottom soggy... literally too hot to pick up... with no browning or color change, clearly microwaved. Microwaving is not toasting. At that point, the sandwich was inedible. I removed the bun entirely and ate just the falafel, which was dry and largely tasteless. At this point I knew coming back to this restaurant was a mistake. Food timing was another issue. The dishes took roughly 45 minutes to arrive after the drinks, possibly longer. We were all getting annoyed and what started out well when we first walked in turned negative. I wasn't impressed on my first visit years ago... and this second visit confirmed it. Between the poor drinks, cheap plastic cups, ridiculously long wait (with no explanation nor apology), and careless food execution, there's no reason to return.

Everything was delicious and absolutely hit the spot after a long night in the rain. We enjoyed everything so much that I actually came back the next afternoon for lunch, adding my wife and daughter to the group for the 2nd day of my son's soccer tournament. In addition to all the ramen we also tried the regular edamame, the steamed pork dumplings, and the duck bao. Everything was a hit. My daughter devoured the dumplings and the edamame. Ramen was so flavorful and packed with ingredients. A solid amount of options for the ramen too. Two great experiences in 24 hours. As Dorney season pass holders who live 35 mins away, I could see us heading here after a day at the park now. Totally worth checking out.

The bahn mi had perfect amount of cold cut to pate ratio and the bread was the right amount of soft/chewy. The wings were tasty too, cooked perfectly and not dry which is rare for wings in an Asian restaurant if you know what I mean. Overall such a great spot.
