We've been to Corelife's before, but the first time here. My wife and I both got delivery of their bowls: Korean grain bowl and Korean bbq platter. We both thought the food didn't taste like real Korean bbq, but did taste okay. We liked the vegetables and grains. The serving of the pork was VERY small, but tasted good. We got our food via a 3rd party, but my blame is on Corelife for not including the Rosemary Potatoes. To make matters worse, their prices in the app were $1.50 more expensive so we were out $5 instead of $3.5 in real life menu prices. Since we got delivery, couldn't speak to ambiance of it being good or bad. read more

The prices are insane for what you get - $2.99 for naan and hummus & you get one piece of naan with a tiny amount of hummus. Just charge more so you can get an ok amount. That said, I ordered a sweet potato bowl; it came with both black beans and chickpeas - there were ZERO sweet potatoes, and about 5 black beans and 5 chickpeas for the entire bowl. Hardly any quinoa as well. Just all spinach & sauce. I do not mind paying for higher quality food but when you are served filler for premium prices, I take issue. The food TASTES good if they actually give it to you but the lack of the said offerings is a huge bummer & would keep me from ordering from here again as it it not inexpensive for the meal. Really disappointed. If it's more expensive and I get my money's worth - then ok! But I feel like I was robbed a bit on their offerings (per their own menu) & while the food is good, the value is about the worst I have experienced. Very let down by this place. Not pictured is a sweet potato bowl with zero sweet potatoes and almost no protein, which I paid $3+ extra for ....... This is not how a restaurant should do business. Really let down. read more

Food was mediocre and the crew were unfriendly and more concerned with talking to each other. Won't return.

I highly recommend this place to eat. The food is fantastic. The teas are good with lots of options. The staff is friendly and helpful. We will be back! read more

Love their carrot vinaigrette and miso dressing, so many customizable veggies and sauces!! Sweet potatos are great. Wraps, bowls , and drinks are so yummy and healthy! read more

The food tastes great!! No complaints there! The service however- not up to my personal standards. As someone who works in the service industry as well, I know how hard it can be to put on a smile, but if you want tips, you better try. The employees acted like they wanted to spit in my food and all I did was order. Take a nap or be here to do your job. Here's a tip, be nice, because I'll match your energy. Guy in the back was great though! The restaurant was also very clean. read more

Sooo I've missed it. I don't know how I haven't gone here before. Maybe it's because I'm a big guy who likes big portions. Maybe I've been a little scared of a "healthy" restaurant. Maybe I don't want to be lumped into the millennial trendy eaters. Well, I was wrong. My whole family thoroughly enjoyed our lunch today. Ally made her own bowl (delicious), the kids shared a power plate (pounded it) and I devoured my Korean bbq bowl (and walked away full!!). We also really liked the variety of yummy juices/teas/lemonades offered. We will definitely be back (and with much less apprehension)! read more

CoreLife was really good. The bowls are delicious and big. They do not skimp on the toppings. I got the Korean bbq pork bowl that was sooo good. They fry an egg fresh to put on top and the kimchi gives it a little spice. The poke tuna bowl was also super fresh and tasty. It is nicely decorated and clean inside and the staff was friendly and quick to make the food down the line. It is a great healthier fast food option. They also have salads, wraps, Mac and cheese, and more. read more

I will definitely order from here again! Their ingredients seem really fresh and the bowls and soup were delicious. I also got a side of their sweet potatoes and they were the highlight of my meal! To explain: I have a huge "sweet tooth" and their sweet potatoes are cooked in some sort of cinnamon and brown sugar sauce - such a tasty surprise! read more

When it's hot and sunny out, a refresh salad is in order. Fresh ingredients that are clearly visible is nice. Give your order and watch as they put it together with any customization that you have requested. Staff were wearing gloves but no masks. There is a barrier at the register. Social distancing in the line was not enforced. I took my food to go and it was a good as it looked. read more

My wife and I are going vegan and we just moved to the area, so we've been looking for spots with good healthy options. We were quite pleased with the food and smoothies at CoreLife. Much like Subway or any other build your own food place, it's up to you to find what you like and combine ingredients well. We both made bowls with tofu and greens. I got the spicy rice noodles. The noodles had an odd consistency so I probably will just get extra greens from now on. One thing to note: SAY WHAT SMOOTHIE YOU WANT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE LINE. There isn't a sign to let customers know that so people kept asking for smoothies when they were paying. The smoothies are made to order in the back so it takes awhile and you're stuck eating without a drink. So do everyone in the line a favor by ordering your smoothie at the beginning. Great place. We'll be back. read more

Great food! I had takeout. I haven't had CLE since I lived in Grand Rapids. I used to eat there pretty regularly when I lived on the west coast of Michigan. I really love the options and the way you can mix and match what sounds good to you. When I'm working and need to stay at it, CLE is such a great option for takeout. Sometimes the delivery can really hose up a meal but they didn't! Great job, great meal! read more

Outside tables are great! The Thai Noodle salad is awesome too! Be sure to add some sweet potatoes too. read more

Walk in, order on food line, nsme a few preferences and then pay. OMG you should taste the Korean bbq pork!! Food here served in small or large bowls, as a wrap or as tacos. Soups too! Loved the rice dish base to the bowls (w/rice) as i expected white rice but got some deliciousness there. Also loved the kimchee! Drinks are different as not soda but teas and lemonades. My family loved this restaurant! Good show! read more

Loving the new pick 2 option that allows guests to pair any small bowl with choice of soup (they've got a half dozen options, the Curry Chicken soup was amazing), or side (my friend loved the Brussels sprouts and the roasted sweet potatoes also looked legit), or bottomless beverages (they're made in house and include some healthy and flavorful choices like beet lemonade and various teas) for only $9.95. You just don't find that healthy a bang for your buck anywhere else. read more

I love the people who work there and the corporate philosophy of Corelife, but this is the 3rd time in 2 months I've gotten a meal with noodles that are not fully cooked. I like my noodles al dente when it comes to consistency, but these still have the hardness of undercooked pasta that is tougher even than al dente. It had reached the point that I even put in my pickup instructions that I want fully cooked noodles in my dish. How hard is it? Apparently, too hard (just like the noodles). Sorry, Corelife, you've lost a customer. read more

The place is big and can seat a lot of people. Ambiance is fresh and upbeat. The service is really fast and friendly. We had the poke bowl and chicken and broth bowl. Both are really good. They have house made lemonades and 4 other organic juices that are made from concentrate. I had the cardamom and orange. So good! Cayenne cranberry was also good. We will be returning. read more

My husband and I recently started a new healthy lifestyle change and it's been difficult to find "fast foods" with good choices when you're on the go. Stopped in yesterday, we figured we would be waiting a minute but nope I was wrong! I was in and out within 4 minutes. Service was great, food was amazing. I took the 4 minutes to gaze around the room and it was quiet, beautifully decorated and clean! Thank you CoreLife for such amazing healthy fast eats! We will be returning today to try something new read more

Info: The business is a "Make your own plate" type, or you can also choose from pre-choosen plates on display and make changes (some charges may apply). Expect to spend $10-15 per person with sides and drinks. The business' atmosphere is great and there are plenty of tables for dine-in (indoors and outdoors). It has a chipotle feels to it without the chipotle. They seam to strongly support sustainability as they focus on biodegradable paper plates and carryout paper bags (this is a huge + for me). You will not have any problems finding a parking spot. The food: I would highly recommend trying their sprouts. Most of their plates are served with a base (rice, quono, etc) and you can choose steak, chicken, or pork for your topping (so many vegetarian options as well). I enjoy their food, its somewhere between happy and healthy depending on your picks. Plenty of store made drinks options as well. Overall: we will keep coming back for their food whenever we feel like eating healthy and delicious. We will keep supporting them and i think you should give them a shot as well if you havent yet.

Had a great lunch here with Beth C.! It was my first time in a physical CoreLife location, but I've had the food before. For all my coastal folks, CoreLife Eatery reminds me of a Sweetgreen! But, unlike Sweetgreen, they also offer Broth Bowls - so it's a bit like Panera in that sense then too. I ordered the Sriracha Ginger Roasted Tofu (Baby spinach + shredded kale, roasted organic tofu, broccoli, carrots, ginger, sprouts, basil, sriracha with the carrot chili vinaigrette). It was so flavorful but with all great, natural ingredients. I ordered the large and felt like I was definitely getting in the recommended 2.5 cups of daily veggies in at just one meal! I'll definitely be back for more! 171/365 read more

Kzoo is hopping on the health bowl craze! I'll give it to CoreLife, they have more options than most places (since they also have noodles), and I'm from NYC, where we have one of these kinds of spots on every corner. The food is good, the service isn't that great. I ordered the ahi tuna poke bowl with double the protein, and they forgot the extra protein. I asked for extra dressing on the side, they gave me the wrong dressing. They didn't give me any utensils... However...the bowls are good and I like that they offer black rice in their rice blend. It's very expensive for what you get (this costs me $11 in New York). A bowl and a seltzer later cost me almost $20! Due to the lack of health food places in the area, I'm leaving this review at four stars instead of three. Gotta fix that service issue... read more

Got a build your own bowl with chicken, kale and spring mix base, various toppings. The vegetables were super fresh which was great since that was about 90% of the bowl. The chicken was okay. I think the priority is the vegetables and they did very well on that. read more

All workers were rude and slow.. gave me mac and cheese that wasn't cooked all the way and then also gave us watered down smoothies and said they have to make it watery. ITS A SMOOTHIE?!! Just bullshit now i have to drive an hour to a DIFFERENT corelife!!! wtf??? no refund wasted my money. read more

So good! Went for the 3rd time yesterday on a day date with my husband. I ordered the tofu and mushroom broth bowl without the Siracha at the end. Wow was it too spicy for me!!! But the taste was delicious! My husband ordered the steak and blue cheese green bowl and while he wished he would have ordered double the protein he loved it! I like the fresh juice bar too as it makes me try different combinations of flavors I wouldn't have thought about before! I thought this place was too expensive when it first opened but I've realized that the quality of the food, the freshness of everything ordered, and the cleanliness of the place really justifies it. We spent $18 for 2 large bowls and if we would have gone to a regular fast food place we would have probably spent $13-$16 for 2. Not that big of a difference and you do get what you pay for!! read more

Why isn't this place loaded with people, especially health and planet-conscious young people ?? This is my first lunch here and it's TheBomb.com. For ten bucks I got the spice Thai chicken and rice noodle salad with cashew dressing ....yuuumz. And the panoply of colors and veg options in those beautiful tubs behind the bar....geez Louise you could get anything here. Roasted broccoli? Fresh tacos? Warm quinoa bowls exploding with veg and antioxidants? I dunno why people do fast food anymore, to be honest. It costs the SAME AMOUNT to get a crapola burrito and taco meal at Taco Bell made of GMO CORN, mystery meat, and highly refined oils which will destroy your immune system and send you into a inflammatory spiral (and the HFCS in the drink, let's not forget that silent killer). People people people. Get your butts over to CoreLife for some crunchy, delicious, fast fare. Your body will thank you. read more

Stopped here on a whim and man, was it tasty! Everything was extremely fresh, pulled the chicken straight from the grill for my moms meal. I had the apple cider ice tea and it wasn't very good, I would pass on it. The reason I am giving them 4 instead of 5 stars is because the women behind the counter was not polite. I'm not sure if she was having a bad day or what, but everything thing we asked for seemed like an inconvenience. I'm pretty confident she even rolled her eyes at us. I wish we had one of these restaurants back home because we would frequent it often ! read more

I gave only 3 stars for the pickup food I ordered through the app. I ordered in person last week for the same food and it was delicious. My take out food was barely edible. Way too much cabbage and sauce. And when I picked it up at the window, the young man just looked down at me and said nothing. I told him my name and he again didn't say anything and disappeared. He came back with a bag and handed it through the window to me...again not saying anything or even smiling. Idk if it's because I didn't tip on the app, but I'll never order that way again. Tipping a person to hand me food through a window just doesn't seem right to me. read more

I tried corelife eatry when we needed healthy dishes for my husband diet. I tried chicken soup and salad it was good, light, and delicious.

There's nothing like a fresh fulfilling salad. I absolutely enjoyed it. Due to covid-19, there's no dine in so I can't really give a full review of the place. But the salad was fresh and gave me life. I will be exploring their healthy menu again in the near future. read more

CoreLife Eatery - Chicken Cobb salad - New American Near Me - Portage, Michigan

To sum this up in one sentence: it let me down. I had a friend bring me back home what was supposed to be a Korean BBQ Bowl and it was so far from what I had genuinely expected. The tiny portion of beef was literally flavorless. Like it literally just tasted like beef, not Korean BBQ. And the kimchi... it lacked the basic seasonings you associate with kimchi, therefore a lot of the flavor. Plus I quite clearly got the end bit of the head of cabbage (you can see it in the photo) which also wasn't fun. I will still be eating it because it isn't necessarily bad, but it also isn't good. I totally get the healthy food message but please, don't try making something if you're not going to commit to it. read more
