CoreLife continues to be one of my favorite places to get a salad, lunch or dinner. The menu offers several suggestions, but I always choose a build your own and get a grain with lettuce and favorite toppings. I love the salad dressings and instead of having it put on the bowl, I request 2-3 containers on the side. Overall the line moves quickly and each topping is a good portion. Chicken is my preferred protein alongside feta cheese, cranberries, pickled cabbage, spicy broccoli, and cucumbers. I'd recommend getting the larger bowl. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seating is available inside and out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Taking the order to go is a great option too. read more

We were originally on our way to grab coffee, but the name CoreLife Eatery caught my attention & I'm glad it did. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Walking in, I immediately noticed how clean and inviting the space was.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The colorful, fun signage actually made me feel more at ease, especially since "build-your-own" spots can feel a little overwhelming at first.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I appreciated that they also had pre-made menu options for those of us who don't want to think too hard. I went with the Chicken Chipotle + Tortilla broth, and my boyfriend ordered a steak bowl, both were fresh, flavorful, and honestly hit the spot. Service: Smooth and welcoming Food: Fresh, healthy, and well-seasoned [[HIGHLIGHT]]Environment: Clean, bright, and easy to navigate[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Now, the total came to $34.81, which is a bit on the pricier side, but in today's economy, that's becoming the norm. And for where I am in my health journey, being intentional about what I put into my body matters more than anything. For me, it was worth it. The Verdict: Worth it for a fresh, healthy option, especially when you want something quick but still aligned with your goals. If you're in the Louisville area, I'd definitely recommend checking out this spot, it's the only one here, and it delivers. read more

First time to visit here since I want to eat something healthy. All of their ingredients are fresh and they have good choice on the menu. I decided to try the ahi tuna poke fire since I was mood for fish. They let me know that they don't have avocado and told me that I can picked one of those ingredients in substitute for avocado. I chose not to because I like all the ingredients and I was fine without avocado. It is very delicious. I enjoyed the meal a lot. The lady was very nice and understanding. I would like to come back again because the ingredients are all fresh and delicious. read more

Reunited with my favorite fast casual spot. I wish there were corelife eatery's all over the country! Went with my go-to spicy Thai chicken and rice noodles and it hit as I remember. So many great bowl options though, you probably can't make a bad choice. They even have wraps now! Service was a bit slow because they were busy. read more

CoreLife Eatery - Spicy Thai Chicken & Rice Noodles - Salad Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food and a calm atmosphere for a lunch break.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the Greek Chicken + Quinoa bowl and it was great, however the cucumbers and tomatoes tasted off. Their texture was ok but it tasted as if they were around chemicals before coming to the front. I had also asked for no chicken for a vegetarian option but still ended up with chicken. Neither of these are big deals but things that would've made it a better experience. I went around prime lunch time and there was a pretty small wait, less than 7 minutes. On a positive note the mandarin cardamom beverage was amazing and I would highly recommend it. It has a light orange flavor with subtle hints of cinnamon in a refreshing way. read more

What happened to this place?! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Long wait, dirty floors, filthy bathroom, booths are tired, and wobbly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This seems like a classic case of Owner taking all the money out and putting nothing back in. What a shame. read more

Love this place! So many options to choose from, I had trouble narrowing it down. But decided on the Korean BBQ pork today. Very flavorful and full of delicious ingredients-- even a freshly fried egg! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean place, comfortable seating, very welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was quick, but friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not to mention they were jammin' to a Bieber playlist and I'm fully in support[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Always fresh. Their quality of protein is good. We didn't love our salads today but we just weren't a fan of our choice with the rice noodles. Service was fast & friendly & it's always open & bright inside. The women's bathroom was clean & smelled good. Tip- Add double protein of choice. read more

CoreLife Eatery - Spicy Thai Chicken & Rice Noodles - Salad Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Went downhill fast. Used to be my go to spot for quick, healthy, customizable yum. Not anymore though. Seems like some sort of change in management or ownership that is a little too forceful with not just smaller portions, but odd rules for the staff. Here's the rundown: - My kid ordered a BYO bowl, only adds 1 out of 5 toppings. - I ordered a standard bowl and they're out of the meat I ordered (pork) so first snafu. Then I ask if I could have some noodles -- "that will be $0.75 sir is that Ok?" Do I get $0.75 x 4 credit back for the 4 my kid didn't get? If you can't "consider" that when building your little upcharge to death model that *you* win some like my kid only getting ONE topping on a BYO, and on the same order, then you deserve what probably will happen -- you'll be out of biz. And that is sad given how much potential you have. There are other options thankfully at this point. For example, In Season in downtown has a better meal, better price/experience and more informed/helpful/considerate staff. read more

I came here on a Friday for lunch for a solo date. This is a very popular lunch spot so be prepared to wait a little. Although the line was long, it was moving fairly fast so wasn't an issue at all. I appreciated the pictures of some of the food that was displayed and how helpful the staff was with answering questions. I went with the Korean BBQ option because I wanted something warm. It did not disappoint! I got the regular sized bowl and that was more than enough (could have definitely shared this). Here are my #WorthyNotes - Fresh food and healthy options - Make sure you know if your meal is warmed or not - If you don't see something you would like, create your own! read more

So I hadn't been here in a bit. Last time I came the portion was great and the ingredients super fresh. This time was the opposite. The portion on the regular bowl was small even for me. It left me hungry after a couple of hours. The amount of tuna was a joke. I counted 10 small cubes. They weren't at all seasoned like it said on the menu and not that fresh. The other ingredients were good just not plentiful. Service was not top notch and took a while to get through the line. Not satisfied for a $15 lunch. read more

As a Californian, I'm all about fresh, flavorful, and healthy options, and CoreLife nailed it. Whether you're craving a crisp salad, a hearty grain bowl, or something in between, everything on the menu is packed with goodness. I tried one of their grain bowls (chicken and avocado, of course), and it was the perfect balance of fresh ingredients and bold flavors. It's the kind of healthy meal that actually feels satisfying--not just something you eat because it's "good for you." The portions are just right too, so you leave feeling energized, not overstuffed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is casual and easy-going, making it a great spot to stop by for a quick bite or to kick back and enjoy a leisurely meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is friendly and on point, getting your food to you fast without rushing you. If you're from California or just love healthy eats, CoreLife Eatery in Louisville is a must-try. Definitely one of the better spots I've found for tasty and nutritious food while on the road. read more

The lines are long at lunchtime so order ahead and you can pick up! The food is fresh and your order is not made until you walk in to order it or when you order it online. Sometimes they don't get the order correct when you ask for something on the side. So be sure to specify that really well. Even with a small bowl it's sometimes too much to eat. So I feel like it's a good value for the money. read more

I love the food here but I'm so tired of the poor service and missing ingredients. I've ordered ahead and stood there while my to-go bowl was put together painfully slowly, receiving it at least 10 minutes after the quoted pick-up time. I had to request they put all the ingredients in the bowl, only to get home to realize there was still a missing component. This place is such a hassle--5 stars for food, 1 star for service & accuracy. read more

Food is so good especially the Korean bbq bowl. Healthy too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance could be improved with music for sure. Feels awkwardly quiet at times.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But worth it. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the food, atmosphere is ok, I mainly purchase to go buy i had a little time so i dined on[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I usually visit 2-3 times a month because live in Taylorsville so only when I'm near. The food is always fresh but the rice noodles are usually frozen and that's my favored ingredient. I did ask the young man if he could warm them for me and he said NO, I looked and nothing was on the grill , he could have warmed it with my chicken? I usually do not add protein but decided to today, it's only 1 ounce spoon full anyway. There were 6 people working, no line and it would take literally seconds. But that's what you get hiring teens. Would have liked a drink but the machines were empty like the last 2 visits. I think I may find another restaurant that has similar Ai i can have something more accommodating and my just water to drink. I mean $14.26 for a "meh" lunch? The ingredients were great and fresh. The rest needs work. read more

Food used to be really good, warm, and fresh. Quality has gone down a bit, food comes out cold, service feels like I'm burdening the place. It's not bad by any means but not what it was when I first started going read more

Alot of food at a good price! I did a pickup of a regular bowl and after taxes and tip it came out to $15, however there was easily enough food for two people so I was not upset at all! The ingredients were fresh and you could tell things are prepared daily. I really enjoyed the flavors from my bowl. It made me feel like it was a healthier version of qdoba at about the same price point! I did a Togo order so I can't attest to inside much but the workers were polite & quick when I came in. I will be back! read more

CoreLife knows how to make your favorite foods into something healthy while also tasting amazing! This place has been on my to-try list for so long, and now I'm glad I got the chance to finally stop in. They have a lot of different things on their menu: soups, salads, noodles, tacos and more! It was hard to choose because everything looked so good. I ended up substituting some tacos for lettuce wraps - I tried: - buffalo chicken: SO good! I wish I had gotten two of these because I really enjoyed it. You can add bleu cheese or ranch to it. - steak fajita: Alright, probably wouldn't get it again. But mainly because I'm not normally a fajita person. - maple bacon brussels sprouts: amazing... so sweet and came with bacon bits mixed in. The bottom line is CoreLife is pretty great. I can't wait to try other items on their menu, too! read more

Stopped in after the lunch rush for food with my family. For context, one person was in line behind us. The man at the front of the line "greeting" guests and taking orders could not have been more put out by us ordering food from his restaurant. Got frustrated that my son ordered a "build your own" and then clarified that he had wanted a wrap after the man started making a bowl. Ok, our bad in part. But the worker also didn't ask. Then he was mad when we ordered two kids "power plates" and I asked if we could choose our four items, which is always the case online (I order core life at least once a week and do this often). The man scolded that "you can do that online but in the store you have to SPECIFY what you want"...which is exactly what I was trying to do lol. Nowhere on the signage does it even say what the plates come with, so I'm not sure how anyone is supposed to know that it's a set thing (especially when it is NOT online). Anyway, if you can get past a super rude ordering experience the food is decent. At least the woman restocking items and the man working the register were nice to my kids! Might be finding a new regular lunch spot to support. I've worked in retail and restaurants for years and there's no reason to treat customers this way with little to no prompting. read more

This place is awesomeness. I loved the healthy options (plus a few yummy but not as healthy options). Seriously could come here so many times and get different new dinners. We tried the taco salad, bbq chicken salad and Brussels sprouts. These were great quality salads and so large we ate them for dinner leftovers the next day. read more

Service was food. Not much choice. Food is ok for a change. Would eat if nothing else avt

Not sure what happened to CoreLife. We have eaten food here many times after leaving the gym as a quick and healthy option eating away from home. Not only has the service suffered in the last couple years, but the food and portions as well as cost have taken a dive. Last night was the last straw. My wife went in to get two quick and easy bowls, it took way too long for a simple order and messed up the persons order in front of her. I get the Poke Fire Bowl, literally there was only 7 to 8 pieces of tuna. Plus low portions of others ingredients as well as missing ingredients. Hopefully they can turn things around, but it'll take a qualified owner and management to bring this place back to it's aforementioned status. read more

Love love love-it! We loved all the options of the menu and drinks! Super friendly staff and clean! Everyone works together and that helps to give the customers a good experience. Since we weren't familiar with the menu, we were explained the different kinds of dishes the cold ones and the hot plates or options. This place have tacos!!! We didn't make any changes on what we ordered so we can have the full experience on how the dishes are normally prepared and we loved it! This have become one of my favorite places... read more

I wonder if the owner even cares about this place, clearly the manager doesn't. Each time I have eaten here the food and service has gotten WORSE. I'm going to try again one more time tomorrow but if it's the same my credit card will be rejecting that charge. read more

Great, healthier option for a quick bite. While food prices are little higher than other fast food like options, the ingredients are fresh and added bonus, the portions are large. Service is decent. Lots of drink choices - juices, teas, and soda. This has a counter service setting read more

I think today was my last visit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Every time I come to this restaurant, the floors are so sticky that my feet stick to the gas and brake pedals when I get back into my car. It's just not kept very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It makes me wonder about the food prep and what the kitchen looks like. The staff is mostly rude, especially the first guy that usually takes the order. Especially if you have any adjustments or additions, just be ready for attitude. Today I substituted my protein, but they charged me full price for a separate whole protein so my bill was six dollars more than it should have been, but I did not catch it until after I left. Tried to call the restaurant of course no one answers and there's no voicemail. My last visit before this one, the food was just not up to par. I ended up throwing most of mine away. Thought I would try again today, but I think I've had enough. read more

Yummy food from a chain that was first started in New York! So lucky to have it now in Louisville and the pricing is very reasonable for some delicious and healthy food! I loved all the options and wish this was available in California too! I tried the southwest chicken and my husband wanted the tuna bowl, but since they were out of tuna, he substituted it with steak. We ordered the chipotle chicken bone broth as well. Everything was so delicious and flavorful. It's a nice hearty meal that the regular size would have been perfect. We ended up packing the leftover for the flight home. The chipotle soup was good, but might be even better plain to complement our flavorful salad/grain bowl. I loved the purple rice in my chicken bowl. It wasn't too heavy on dressing as they tossed it for me. The steak was fresh and so were the greens. Hope to see this chain expand to the west coast! Otherwise will be back here when I'm in Kentucky. read more

I've been looking forward to trying this new fresh meals spot and it did not disappoint. Modeled similar to other fast casual chains there are pre-created menu items or you can build your own bowl. Being my first visit I chose the kid's menu power plate with fresh fruit, vegetables, rice and dipping sauce, the chicken barbecue bowl (recommended by staff), and a Cobb salad for myself. The staff behind the counter was helpful and patient as I got familiar with the menu. I appreciated the covid precautions - social distancing measure, masks and gloves - and the speedy in and out time from order to finish. The tea and lemonade bar had a large variety, and I am intrigued by some of the flavors. I am looking forward to going back and trying them! One bummer, I got a chance to eat my Cobb salad my avocado was old and that was a disappointment. Being a new spot I hope they get in a groove with their quality control. I know avocado is a pain to keep fresh, but as a fresh eats spot I hope you are going to nail it. Overall I liked the menu, it had something for everyone on my list, and the staff was great. I am looking forward to going back. read more

Wow! I used to work like 2 mins from this place and never knew this restaurant existed. CoreLife is a great healthy equivalent to your normal lunch. I got the Poke Fire, while my significant other got the Korean BBQ pork bowl. Add this with two drinks and the total was around $20. The Poke Fire tasted great. It was a good portion for the price and the ingredients all blended well with each other. We went during lunch time and it was pretty packed around the time. Recommend to order online to save some time. One thing I might recommend is more options when creating a bowl, maybe add additional meats that's similar to other poke shops? Other than that, it's a great place to have some healthy food. Looking forward to come back! read more

Wow, this place has gone downhill. Every time that I've walked in recently the employees just stare you down, roll their eyes, and genuinely look so annoyed that you're even in there. The lines are never that long yet somehow it still takes 15-20 minutes to get through the line since the employees all move at a snails pace. It's such a frustrating and awkward experience. The food is 10/10 most days. Honestly, that's the only reason I have returned. The customer service is 0/10 and management needs to do something about this ASAP. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tables and floors are often dirty, which makes me wonder how clean it is behind the scenes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I don't think I'll be back for a while... Just do better! read more

This place was delicious! I work part-time at Shred415, so this was a nice little lunch after one of my middle of the day shifts. The service was fast, and the workers were super friendly. I didn't know entirely what to get or how the menu worked, but they helped me out. I finally ended up getting the spicy thai bowl with rice noodles. I will say, it was SUPER SUPER spicy. I thought I would get to choose the spice level, but I didn't. Maybe I should have asked. The meal itself was really good but know that if you don't want something incredibly spicy, this is not the meal for you!! All in all - definitely enjoyed and will definitely be back again. UPDATE -- I went back and told them about the spice level and they helped me out :) I got it again and it was less spicy and SOOOO GOOD read more

Usually, I love this place, such a great place to swing by for some quick healthy food after the church. Staff is mostly always organized, quick, and helpful. Unfortunately, I am debating on coming back or not after my most recent trip. A few days ago, I came in and the worker who assisted me (who I am mostly sure is the owner), was flustered and was not wearing a hairnet. I overheard another employee identify her as the owner over the phone. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It just wasn't a good look on the store or a great atmosphere at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I felt like I knew more about the place than the employees helping me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was very dirty as well, sticky floors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There also seems to never be many workers in there at all recently, always about 3, which is definitely a change. I looked past this at first, but when I got home, I realized my Korean Egg bowl was cold and missing broccoli. I attempted to call the store but google must have the wrong number listed which is why I am writing this review now as I am not sure what else to do. read more

This place was kind of hidden but they have some really good options that are healthy and delicious. We tried some of the buffalo chicken tacos with ranch and they were so good. We got naan for the tortilla which was a nice touch and the ranch is light but flavorful. Highly recommend if you're watching your calories/macros as they have everything listed out on the online menu too. read more
