Tried five times to order two different bowls would only allow me to order one bowl at a time then I had to go to Yelp. And I couldn't order the second bowl still read more

Food was great! We are always in search of healthier food alternatives and there aren't many. Only reason I'm not giving a 5 star is because the women's restroom was in bad shape. Didn't look like the sink had been cleaned in days and one of the toilets was unusable (and there were only 2). Would love to see the sugar content posted on the drink dispensers read more

I first heard of CoreLife Eatery from a news article on Facebook. I was instantly excited to go out and try it, because it was so different from other food places. I was sad that the only one was in Strongsville. For my first time going I'd say it was worth the drive, otherwise I wouldn't go out of my way to get it. The first time I went I made my own bowl. I wasn't 100% sure what I was doing. The first staff member I interacted with was not friendly at all. He seemed more annoyed with me that I was unsure than anything else. I did like how you could create your own bowl and that there are so many fresh options. It was a fun healthy way to build your meal. The thai cashew dressing was delish. Overall, it was a bit pricy for me and the food was good. It was very clean inside and I liked the decor. read more

We wanted to give this place another chance after our last bad experience. We ordered our two bowl meal 40 minutes before we came to pick up our order. Upon arrival, nothing was done. Most Workers were standing around. Some were tending to walk-ins. No designated carry out person. When they made the order, we checked the bag. It was missing the dressing that was designated on the ticket. Took another 5 minutes to get the dressing. We have made the decision to not come back. Every time we come it is a disaster. If you want an incomplete and slow order, come here; if not, don't waste your time and money. read more

Meh. I got a tuna poke over cabbage. To be fair, it was the girl's first day so she may have mixed up stuff. I felt like was a bowl of legit rabbit food. Too crunchy from fibrous stems. I saw avocado go into the bowl but it got drowned out. I got the ends of the tuna so it had the bits in it. read more

Delicious salad and totally worth the slight detour on my way from IL to NJ! I had the Cobb salad and it was perfectly dressed and chopped nicely so I could easily eat it in the car. I would stop here again. read more

Had the spicy chicken and ancient grain bowl with sriracha and the jalapeños cilantro lime vinaigrette dressing. Took the big bowl approx $9:15. The salad was fresh. The serving was filling. The chicken had nice flavor and the sriracha added the kick. There are other options including a broth and salad options. Feeling refreshed. read more

Love this place. The salads are to die for. Wonderfully filling I can only eat s half. Made the way you want. Freash and so yummy. Friendly staff your in and out. Kudos y'all wish there was better parking. read more

What you get for the price is absolutely ridiculous. Our food was also ice cold. Steak should not be cold like that. Silverware was dirty, tables were filthy, floors littered with trash. Not impressed and not coming back. And there were ants all over the silverware!! We told the owner and he just ignored the issue and we walked out. read more

As a gluten free eater, I was excited to try the options at CoreLife. The food ordering style is like Chipotle, you can choose a green bowl, grain bowl, or broth bowl - and then customize; or you can choose from their favorite combinations. As this was my first time and I was feeling a little overwhelmed, I choose an option from the pre-fixed "grain bowl" - Ginger Steak and Rice Noodles. I'm not sure what I expected them to do with that combination, but as I watched them add cold rice noodles to a healthy portion of uncooked kale, then sprinkle on some steak, shredded carrots, cucumber and ginger, I started to feel some dread. I kept thinking, "they are going to cook it now, right?" and then "maybe I should ask for some broth?". But when they added a tablespoon of dressing, I knew that I might have ordered the wrong thing. Well, maybe it would exceed my expectations and taste great? It did not. My cold rice noodle and kale salad was so bland, I had to go to counter and add salt, pepper and a good dose of siracha just to make it edible. And still all I could taste was kale. So maybe the "grain bowl" options aren't for me. If I go back, I'll try the broth. The reason I gave CoreLife 3 stars, was the surprising revelation in the drinks department. After trying all of the options, I settled on the Coconut Water Fruit Punch - which was fantastic. Do you remember the punch made at school dances with sherbet and fruit juice and a fizzy drink? That is what this Fruit Punch tastes like. It made me so nostalgic, it was truly the best part of my experience at CoreLife. So, to sum up, if you choose to go, make sure you like the taste of plain kale, otherwise, maybe try the broth, and don't forget to try the lemonade/tea offerings. read more

Not going to lie, the last couple times I've been here months ago we're very disappointing with either them being out of ingredients or quality. I went today and the food was amazing and the staff improved so much. They were a lot friendlier and the male manager was very polite and welcoming. The salad I had was fresh and they offered me to substitute an ingredient when I didn't want something. I am very glad I came back and hope they keep up their food quality. read more

Typically, CoreLife is a favorite of mine. I always recommend it to friends. Yesterday, at dinner time, it was like a totally different place. I often order a grain salad with arugula, but it was not the same arugula. I questioned why it did not look the same to me and a staff member let me know that their normal shipment did not arrive, so it was temporarily from Costco. I shop at Costco monthly, but this lettuce should have been removed from the shelf. It was not the quality I have come to experience and expect from CoreLife. It was wilted, old and slimy. I ended up removing half of the arugula from my meal because I do not prefer slimy salad. The cucumbers and broccoli were also old/dry. On a positive note, the carrots and beets were fresh. When we got to the end of the line to pay, staff informed us that they were out of chicken broth for the chicken broth bowl we ordered (that would have been more helpful to know when we placed the order, not once the bowl was already filled with ingredients, and we were waiting to pay). There were plenty of staff on hand, but they did not have their normal assembly or organization. Since this seems unusual for the Strongsville CoreLife (I am hoping it was just a bad night for them), I will return to try again. read more

It's about time we got a healthy eatery in Strongsville! Had lunch there today with my parents and 12 yr old niece. We each tried a different rice bowl. My niece has had the ginger steak n rice noodle bowl twice in a row now. I had the southwest chicken bowl and devoured it! Oh and the lemonade with cayenne... so delish! The atmosphere is trendy yet welcoming. I love the display of fresh produce behind the service counter! I can't wait to go back and try more. Think we'll opt for the broth bowls next. Core Life Eatery - thank you very much for coming to our town! We've been saturated with fried goodies for too long. Fresh, healthy and good for your soul - I just love it!! read more

Fresh, quality ingredients. You can make your own bowl so there is plenty variety of options. The price is a little high for me but most "healthy" options are these days. If you are looking for something very filling and very flavorful - this is not the place. You can get dressing or use sriracha to spice up your bowl but otherwise there are no added spices, salts, butter or oils. Great healthy option. read more

I've been Jonesing for a good hot VEGAN soup and came across this wonderful place while visiting and shopping with the in laws. It was perfect! You select a grain, veggies and a broth of choice. I selected the shiitake mushroom and roasted tofu off the menu it has (vegetable broth, I added quinoa, shiitake mushrooms, napa cabbage, shredded kale, roasted tofu, sprouts, ginger, lemongrass, sliced almonds) I also added a little siracha and lemon and was good to go. It was fantastic I will definitely be back. Oh yeah and the beet lemonade was to die for. read more

In my opinion, this is the greatest place to eat in Strongsville! I got the Southwest bowl and it was amazing. The staff was very friendly, the prices were reasonable and the food- to die for. They have a large variety of fresh teas, juices, and lemonades and you get free refills on all of them. The food is very filling and it does not leave you feeling bloated or sluggish. It is a good alternative for anybody who meal preps and doesn't feel like cooking! read more

The food and lemonade was pretty good, but I think it's quite overpriced. I ordered the pokei salad and really liked it, however I recommend asking for LIGHT dressing. They put so much on mine it was overpowering. Overall I recommend this place. read more

I like the food here alot. I was disappointed however, that since Covid, they stopped serving their Miso soup, which I love. I told them, it is still on the menu and I don't see why they couldn't put it in a container for those that asked for it. read more

The worst Core life i have been too, they also charged me more than what I always pay in different stores, and they say that's because they are a franchise not the corporate store, and the food taste bad and old, definitely not recommended. read more

I was completely disappointed by the food and service at this establishment. I wanted to get the tuna poke without seeds and cucumbers which I guess was a problem so I got a BYO (build your own) bowl. The server acted irritated that I asked what some of the different salad greens were. When I got my bowl the tuna had some kind of dressing on it and seeds. I asked about it and they said it was a miso sauce but I could see visible seeds. I asked for no tuna so they scooped it off and their was still some of the seeded sauce in my salad left behind. They were all out of clean silverware fro eat in customers and after I ate 3/4 of my salad I noticed that my bowl was DIRTY. The guy next to me ordered their coconut curry chicken soup and I heard him say can I have ginger on it. The servers response was it will be extra but as the man pointed out right on their menu board it said it included ginger and lemon grass. Their response was we have never put ginger on this soup . read more

Very strange experience that still is a bit mind-boggling. I was picking up an order that a family member ordered online and paid for with a credit card. My family member placed the order from their website, paid for it with a credit card and all set for me to pick up, right? Well what could go wrong? I always try and order online at restaurants when I can or with an app to avoid standing in line. Walked right in.. went right to cashier. she was checking someone out, finished with her, leaving me at the checkout stand alone.. She went right back to the prep line leaving me standing there alone. That was a bit strange but nothing compared to what took place next. When I got her attention that I was picking up an online order I was expecting her to confirm my name and hand me an order, already bagged up. Did that happen here? Oh no. she goes into how one of the items ordered is no longer available. At first I had no idea what she was saying.. I asked her what she means and she said how one item is not available now and asked me if I wanted something else? Something else? I am merely doing someone a favor... - I don't even know what they ordered - I know what they would like - There are several people in line already - I ordered online to avoid waiting And the biggest issue.. the order was placed on THEIR website and the order went through and my credit card was charged.. What does that even mean the item is not available? I vaguely recall her saying how that was a summer item and no longer available. Still very confusing.. the item was on their website and the order went through and the credit card was charged. I reminded her of that and she is like, oh the website is sometimes behind with updates.. Again. not my issue.. . I asked if the missing item was on the credit card and she said yes... By that time I just wanted to get out of there.. I asked for a refund for the item charged on my credit card but not in the bag.. She gave me cash back instead of crediting my card, another strange thing. May be the strangest thing I ever saw when trying to pick up an order. read more

Strongsville recently opened up a new complex near Southpark mall and in it was CoreLife, so naturally I had to heck it out. And the place is really delicious in many ways. The menu is pretty broad, customizable, and healthy. It has a Chipotle-style where your food is made right in front of you. I'v tried several salads and broths and every one of them has been great. But the real treat are the drinks on the side. Various teas, juices, and lemonades all made with interesting and different fruits and vegetables. It almost completes the meal. I'll definitely be back to CoreLife, no doubt about that. read more

I like the food but this location needs some improvements. The silverware is never clean! There is a bad odor coming from the bathrooms that smells like sewage and you can smell it throughout the restaurant. Not very appetizing! read more

Stumbled on this when the place we were going to was closed. It was great. Lots of fresh veggies. Plenty of choices and all gluten free. Hope they expand to California. read more

Every time I come I get great service, I really enjoy the food and they have a big variety, their pick up is very fast and easy, and the overall atmosphere it's always great, would recommend. read more

My favorite go to restaurant. Fresh, healthy and they change up the menu to keep me coming back.

One of our favorite places to bring out of town guests. Great food, health conscious. The only improvement I'd like to see is to the trash/refuse area where you return trays, silverware and bowls. It's been a bit messy there the last couple visits, but if that's my only complaint that's pretty great for a restaurant! read more

I'm so happy to have more healthy food options so close to my home. This place is so good and easy to get in and out of if you are on the go. Prices are very affordable and the food is very fresh. read more

Healthy food...fast and delicious. The menu has several vegan options, which are clearly identified on the menu board. Service was fast, efficient and relatively friendly. The surroundings are sleek and comfy with plenty of seating. This place is built on a great concept and I hope it represents the future of fast food. read more

I love CoreLife, just not this one. The falafel is smaller, the ingredients are sometimes complete, the inclusion of bread is inconsistent. The inside is nice but after giving them three tries I can't bring myself to go back again. I'll be getting my salads at another location. read more

I'm trying to give it a try still ... Service is a wee slow but my first time there my food was not great. I did ask for what I wanted but I was not told how it came.... Soup wise for warm stuff was nice, I love it and really loved the lemonades drinks. My husband like it am still on the fence. read more

Healthy. Filling. Choices are almost endless. Fresh made juices, broths, soups, salad, bowls. Kinda set up like a chipotle... easy in and out. read more

This is basically a healthier chipotle. You can build your own or select from their built out menu. I got the Spicy Thai Chicken & Rice Noodles and it was actually really good...the chicken was delicious, the dressing gave it a nice spicy kick - the flavors all together were great. I would get it again. My sister got the Spicy Chicken & Ancient Grains, but got it with spinach instead of kale. They didn't have a problem with her switching out what she wanted. That one tasted really good too! Prices are fair. It's a good place for a quick meal. read more

Delicious sooo goood, ate the ranch steak rice bowl two days in a row. My coworker also lovedddd it

I am addicted to the food here! I love their Thai chicken salad it is so good! The service is great too! Their drinks are good

This is our Go-To restaurant when we want fresh and healthy! You can order from menu or customize your own bowl. Everything is fresh. I love the bone broth bowls, especially the spicy ginger steak. I love that the veggies are quickly steamed and not over cooked. The cayenne lemonade is a special treat! I like to mix the lemonades. If I were to open a franchise, it would be a CoreLife! read more

I have eaten here three times. Each time I've tried something different. And each time I was amazed at my selection. I keep coming back. Must be good. This is a must try for healthy eats. read more

The food is good but the service is always bad. I get the same thing every time and it's never made the same way. They are always out of some item and I have to wait for it. I really want this place to succeed but I always leave disappointed. read more
