This restaurant is so dirty I didn't even make it to the counter before walking out. My feet were sticking to the floor, the floors were visibly filthy and there were dirty hand prints all over ever surface. read more

FINALLY!!!!!!!! A healthy, fresh and fast food place! My husband and I both enjoyed lunch at the new CoreLife Eatery in Latham, located right next to Dicks Sporting Goods. We both ordered the spicy thai chicken noodle bowl. Hubs likes his EXTRA spicy, while I prefer milder. The lady carefully measured each ingredient into a bowl and added any additions/substitutions upon request. She topped with the dressing and any toppings desired. I got my bowl with the addition of pickled onions and easy on the fire sauce. It had the perfect balance of flavors and protein. Once everything was mixed up, it was amazing. So fresh, spicy, yummy goodness that I felt good about eating!! We have been on a healthier lifestyle now for a year and this will certainly be an addition to the great places we love to dine out. I am so glad there are so many of these CoreLife Eatery restaurants opening up around the capital region, including Latham and Clifton Park. I also saw one being built next the U Albany. Love this place and I look forward to tasting the rest of their menu! read more

CoreLife Eatery - Spicy Thai Chicken Noodle Bowl... YUMMM - Salad Near Me - Latham, New York

See all

CHECK YOUR DRINK BEFORE YOU DRINK IT!!!!!! Story to follow LATHAM LOCATION I had a pleasant experience with corelife years ago so I decided to try it out again with my fiancé and boy was that an awful idea... the floor, tables and the spot where you get utensils was dirty... I got a broth bowl and the noodles were hard and cold so I didn't eat it, the manager was right there and he clearly heard my disappointment and didn't acknowledge it. I also got a green tea and after taking a big gulp i looked and it looked like there was seeds on the bottom of my cup, or so I thought... it was tiny moldy gelatinous blobs, I never say anything I'm not confrontational but I had to and the manager said it was mint, well it was white and gelatinous so how in the world is that mint?! And he says "what do you want me to do refund your drink?" Hah I would have had him refund the whole meal plus my gas money obviously by the looks of everything they don't clean and don't properly empty and clean their drink dispensers. no wonder they were dead read more

Had the Tuna Poke Rice bowl and it was delicious. There is a good amount of heat. Great flavors. Finished the entire thing. Will definitely be back. read more

Ordered the Mediterranean Salad and it was just okay. My biggest complaint is that it's too expensive for what they give you. I ordered the small bowl and it came out to be just around $9.00. Honestly it was a waste of money. I had one quarter size piece of falafel some lettuce and veggies. I just think for $9 at a "faster food" place you should get more. read more

I am very disappointed with my experience at this particular corelife location. First off, if I'm paying almost $11 dollars for my meal that is supposed to be quality, I should not be hungry still. There was barely anything in my bowl. You'd think quinoa, chicken, falafel, chickpeas arugala etc would fill the bowl pretty well right? Wrong. It was at most a snack. The lack of professionalism at this location is bad for business. Too much talking amoungst themselves and goofing around behind the counter and not enough attention to the customers. I watched one of the girls carry my bowl around the food station, for several minutes then proceed to walk with it to one of their back rooms. Concerning. I will not be back. At least not this location. My experience at the corelife in Clifton Park was better. And with ample food. read more

Love this location . Great lunch served accurately and friendly. Variation of Kale Cobb with beef protein options was delicious.

First time. Staff was informative at the beginning of the line. Lukewarm soup. Asked to have it heated. They have no way of heating it. Saw another fresh container come out and asked for a replacement. Grudgingly given another that was not hot. It's cold here in Latham NY. We need hot soup. Also, expensive for what you get. read more

Absolute shit show. Unorganized, didn't even have bag for my to go order. Ordered one item for pick up and they couldn't even get it right . They just opened and you'd think they would be on point to get people to want to come back! Terrible to say the least. read more

Horrible mangers they need to get their shit together. The place is dirty and the food is always bad never fresh and rude service

Corelife has always been a favorite lunch spot of mine; however, the quality control has not been great recently. Today I ordered a plate with two sides (mashed potatoes, broccoli, and chicken) online. Went to pick it up, brought it back to my workplace, and I had the potatoes, broccoli...and no chicken. How can they completely miss the main part of the dish? Couldn't leave my work to go pick up another one, so I'm just sitting here hungry. My coworker has also found hair in her salad two separate times. There does not seem to be a way to report a problem with the order online, which I would have done in lieu of writing a yelp review. Only giving two stars because the food really does taste great. I'm just starving because they didn't give me the bulk of the order that I payed for. read more

This is a unique eatery and has the potential to be an outstanding restaurant for the Capital District. Unfortunately, it is brand new and the the staff needs more training in preparation and customer service. I ordered a delicious Grilled Chicken Tortilla and Chipotle Broth. The young girl preparing it had to keep looking at a recipe guide. Then when she passed it along to another for final prep the new girl got the order confused with another, and they were starting to convert my order into a new menu item! When I saw what occurred they stopped and completed my order and the finished product looked excellent, until the cashier "roughly" dragged my soup spilling it twice and shoving it towards me without caring some of the liquid was gone. When I asked her a question she was not paying attention to me and was attending to her friends in the restaurant. As I said, the food looked and tasted great but the staff needs better training and support. read more

Manager was responsive! I would like to update my prior review of core life in Latham NY. I have not been to this location since my review but we did call and let the manager know about our concerns and we DID get a return call from the store manager AND regional manager. This lets me know that they did take our concerns seriously and I do intend to give Core Life-Latham another try next time I am in the area. I would give it a try if I were you. read more

When to the "soft" but well attended opening yesterday & was impressed at the selection, service & physical plant. You may select a predetermined dish or can pick 2 mains w 5 toppings & 1 side. I had the Tuna Poke (Ahi Tuna w lots of varied salad mixing, edamame, guacamole, sesame seeds & almonds) which was excellent. 15 year old grandson who is particular liked his spicy chicken and ancient grains. Others had the Korean BBQ Pork Rice Bowl and gave it the thumbs up. Everything was fresh and enjoyable. There is a large vegetarian/vegan selection as well. Of note, you order in a line like Moe's and state if you are eating in for which you take your individual tray & sit where you like (inside or out) or take out. You can order ahead. Drinks are limited to water & 3 types of very tasty lemonade (regular, cranberry or beet) Sadly no beer, wine or alcohol:) Will definitely patronize again. read more

Disorganized and confused staff make ordering a tedious and disappointing experience. Order right off the menu and their genuinely not sure what goes with what. Ordered a Korean bbq rice bowl, then asked what I want on it. Whatever comes with it please . Then asked if I wanted a fried egg in it, and said yes, was charged, and then told it will be w while for the egg, they can bring it out when they have time ( there were maybe five diners in the shop). Finished the meal sans egg. Was ok overall but really, be able to make what you sell. read more

The place was cleaned and well staffed. They were very accommodating. The food was fresh with good choices of greens for base and add ins. This is a definite recommendation to friends who visit the area also. read more

Horrible service & poorly managed. Staff complaining about "back of the house" issues in front of customers. I waited 20 minutes for soup & a small bowl only to have numerous customers speed right through the line ahead of me. At the time I went many of the items were not available & I wound up just asking for a refund. I've been to other CoreLife Eatery locations & never experienced this level of subpar service. I would hesitate to go back to this location again. read more

The employees had their hats pulled over their eyes so it was difficult to know who they were talking to. Also the employee talking to me about my order was talking so fast and robotic that I had to ask her multiple times to slow down talking and repeat herself. The food was presented beautifully and looked fresh. I had the shiitake mushroom broth bowl and it was very bland, no flavor at all. I would not get this again. read more

My cousin and I tried to eat at the Latham Core Life Eatery this morning and we won't be back. We got there before 11, not knowing that they didn't open until 11, so we hung around until opening time, getting back a little before 11. The doors were locked and we could see one person behind the counter who waved to us. 11 o'clock came and went and the doors were still locked. About 11:15 someone came from inside to open the doors and told us they didn't open til 11:30. When I said the sign on the door says they open at 11, the response was that that was before Covid (5 months ago!?) How hard could it be to note the change in opening time on the sign? We were so disgusted with the lack of consideration for customers standing outside their doors that we went elsewhere. The only reason I rated it as one star is that I could not send the review without it. Customer service is nonexistent. And, because of it, we did not even have the chance to experience the food. read more

I will no longer be giving the Latham location any of my business mostly due to lack of customer service. The last 3 times I have visited this location the employees lack knowledge of what is on the menu and basic customer service skills. The last couple of visits employees have told me that have run out of things such as tomato's or BBQ sauce and 2 minutes later another employee would come out with a fresh bottle sauce or container of tomato's after I've already paid for my food. Most recently, it took about 15 minutes to get through the line. One employee decided to only wait on his friend in line and no other customers which held up up the line significantly. Then two employees decided to clean the rafters above the grill instead of waiting on their long line of customers. I was waiting so long that by the time I got home to eat, only the chicken was luke warm, everything else was cold in my "warm rice bowl." Judging by the other reviews, it seems like the Latham location might need to do a better job at hiring and training their employees. Until then, I will not be returning to this location. read more
