    Korean BBQ Tofu Bowl + Mandarin Cardamom Drink
    Dana S.

    Have been coming here on occasion since it opened years ago and the menu has expanded but everything I liked at the beginning is still there, and the quality has been very consistent. Lots of choices for tasty and healthy meals. There's plenty of meat choices but it's also vegan friendly. You can order off the menu or customize your own bowl, and small modifications to menu items (like swapping the protein, the dressing, or base) are possible. I really like their fresca drinks, they have some interesting flavours. Generally the staff is friendly and efficient. They should probably clean tables more often, at least when they're not busy, since all but one of the booth tables was dirty when I was there this time. Since it looks like management reads reviews - I remember there used to be actual reusable bowls and silverware here, but now it's disposable bowls and cutlery only. I wish they'd bring the reusables back.

    This was a Buffalo Chicken Taco, a corn shell.

    It was amazing! I had the Buffalo Chicken Taco, And I also got the Spicy Thai chicken and noodles. The service was quick, and we got to the front of the line in less than 5 minutes.

    Food was decent but at $18 (including grapefruit seltzer water) seems a bit expensive for a "bowl" at a fast food place. Staff were quite helpful trying to gauge the "degree of heat" in the spicy Thai chicken & rice noodle bowl but we all agreed that is a personal judgement. For my taste, I said wisely said no to the spicy broccoli and subbed carrots mostly because nothing let up on the heat. Could have picked a an option with more veggies. Watch the cost of extra premium add ins that add up fast. Outdoor seating is nice but a wee bit grimy; don't think to hard about it. It's fine but there are better pseudo-healthy, fast-ish options in town to check out before you commit to a repeat visit. (Really wanted to vote 3.5 stars - four seemed to high, 3 seemed harsh).

    Southwest Chicken
    Hunter S.

    This was DoorDash delivery. Delivery was fast and accurate. I ordered the maple bacon Brussels sprouts bowl (on accident, I meant to order the side of Brussels sprouts, not the bowl. I also ordered the southwest chicken taco, the steak taco, and the Korean pork taco. The Brussels sprout bowl was fine. I only ate the sprouts, not the rest (rice, peppers, beans, quinoa). I didn't taste the maple bacon flavor at all. Large portion and a variety of contents, so anyone who orders a bowl from here should be pleased as long as the flavors are good. The tacos were pretty good, for being from a chain type restaurant (I had never heard of CoreLife before today). They are served on naan, which I like. I did think the southwest chicken taco was the Korean taco at first. It's supposed to be "spicy," but it was actually very salty. The steak taco was not overcooked, but it's just an average cut of meat with some veggies. The Korean pork was a little tough, but again, lots of veggies. I don't know if these veggies are fresh in house. I get the feeling some of them are prepackaged or canned/jarred, and for some things that's ok. This place has a ton of rice dishes, soup dishes, salads. Menu clearly marks vegetarian, dairy, egg items etc. I would try them again, and it's decent food, especially for the location I'm currently in, but this strikes me as a Panera-type chain that peddles itself as "healthy" while still not meeting that definition.

    I prefer GoreLife to BushLife
    Fox E.

    Not to be confused with #GoreLife which is when you get an election stolen from you by the brother of your rival and a completely corrupt system. Extremely overrated chain and the only reason I give three stars for this particular location down in Vestal is that some of the items are fairly healthy and there's not too many amazing options - especially on the healthy side - in Binghamton. Having said that, this chain is overpriced and service is iffy and some of the products are not fresh at all, and it's a massive chain that's opened up very quickly - too quickly because the standard of food is not great at any of the locations I've been to so far. But a lot of people down here in Binghamton are crazy about it because it's trendy and a little bit hipster and healthy. Trust me it's not healthy. Not that healthy anyway. My Binghamton friends swear by it and I've been dragged to by SUNY Binghamton people twice. Hopefully there won't be a third time. The locations in Buffalo were more than enough for me. Meh.

It was around 5:30pm on a Saturday and luckily there were plenty of tables still available. We started with the Buffalo Brussels Sprouts which I absolutely loved! These are some of the best Brussels sprouts I've had at a restaurant. The buffalo sauce was light and not overpowering and even the blue cheese dipping sauce (which I'm usually not a fan of) was pretty mild and paired well with the Brussels sprouts. A great start! We then shared the Large Rigatoni a la Vodka and added Meatballs to it. The Large is definitely enough for 2 people. The Rigatoni was cooked well and the vodka sauce was well balanced with the cream, tomatoes, garlic, and cheese. It wasn't anything spectacular but it hit the spot! My only complaint was for ~$6, I expected the meatballs to be larger than they were. The Meatballs had good flavor but for such a large bowl of pasta, it barely makes a difference. And those 3 meatballs should be $1 each at most, in my opinion. The Side Caesar Salad was a great pair with the pasta and for ~$3, very reasonably priced. All in all, worth stopping by if you're in town!

I was unaware the restaurant was not a stand alone, but rather in a building with other businesses (not a negative, just something to point out). We ate on a Tuesday, pretty early (5:15 reservation) and were there about an hour and 45 minutes, so if you're in a rush for a meal - this isn't the vibe for you. We didn't mind it, however, as we were not in any kind of time constraint. The restaurant itself isn't overly large; so the tables are all pretty close together. Our meals were very good. We both upgraded our salads that came with our meals; I went with the prime salad and my husband the Ceasar. Both were delicious! For our entrees I ordered the Chilean sea bass and my husband the chicken parm. Both were delicious, however my husband's pasta was a little starchy. The two large chicken cutlets with the soft cheese on top really made up for that though! Our server (Alfredo) was very kind and attentive; offering us Prosecco or Complimentary Dessert for our anniversary! We opted for the espresso cheesecake and it was truly the star of the show! Overall: I'd rate it a 4.5, but couldn't justify a 4 star so I gave it a 5. It's a nice place for a special celebration meal!

Next came our meals which 4 of us ordered the filets and 2 were sent back immediately because they were so salty they couldn't eat it. Mine seemed to have a lot of pepper which i didnt care for but I didn't experience the salt issue so i did not send mine back. Another guest had salmon which she was enjoying until she found a metal coil in it. When we showed/told the waitress what was going on with the meals she took them back but and the people with steaks were given new steaks without the seasoning but no real apology was given. It's really disappointing that management or someone didn't even come to apologize especially for the metal coil because had she eaten that it could have really caused an issue. We were given a few things off the bill but our bill was still over $500 and when you pay that kind of money you expect to really enjoy your meals. The ambiance is nice there and they have potential but after our experience we definitely wont likely be going back. The two that sent their steaks back still cant even think about steak after this experience.
