You can't go wrong with coming to this all-in-one-deli. It's one of my favorite spots in the Englewood/Fort Lee area to enjoy a healthy post-workout meal. It's a no-frills spot, so not too much of an ambiance. There's a good amount of seating inside and a small parking lot right up front. The menu is very extensive and you can satisfy a lot of different cravings. Sandwiches, wraps, salads, poke bowls, sushi, bento boxes, bagels, omelettes, smoothies, protein shakes - endless options! I've been coming here for the past few years and everything is made to order. Flavorful and fresh ingredients at affordable prices. You can't beat that! Service is always friendly and the food comes out in a reasonable amount of time. On my most recent visit I ordered: *Open Field Panini $13 - Included sliced steak, grated parmesan, lettuce, and sliced tomato topped with garlic infused extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. YUMMMM. The panini bread was crispy and toasted, adding that crunch factor. They gave me a generous portion of tender steak. The garlic olive oil and balsamic vinegar were the perfect touches! They really went well with the rest of the ingredients and added a savory and zesty zing with every bite. *Blueberry & Chia Seed Smoothie $8 - Included blueberries, banana, chia seeds, and almond milk. Smooth and creamy with the right balance of sweet and tart flavors! The chia seeds added an extra boost of fiber. Some places add way too much sugar in their smoothies, but Food For Life gets it right. I'm a happy repeat customer! read more

My go to spot for lunch. Excellent smoothies and protein shakes. The sandwiches are all made to order and the ingredients taste very fresh. The two ladies at the counter are amazingly friendly as are the cooks. The bathroom is sparkling clean and tidy. read more

I go here for lunch regularly and love their extensive menu. You can get anything from a breakfast sandwich to a poke bowl. I can usually find exactly what I'm craving here. The prices are reasonable and the food quality is great. Their food is healthy and tasty at the same time. They also provide friendly and quick service. They are usually very busy around 12-1pm during lunch time but besides that so definitely go before or after that to avoid long lines. read more

Insane hostility from the staff. You'd expect someone taking orders would be friendly. Ironically, the ones making the food (who are ACTUALLY doing labor) are the most respectful and considerate ones. The food? Expensive and blander than the food I'd give my dog. Better off eating Purina than indulging in a mediocre and lackluster establishment like this one read more

My clients picked this spot for lunch. I called in my order of the shrimp shumai and the salmon bento box. When I arrived I parked in their lot. I walked into a busy house. I told the lady I was there for pick-up and the food was ready. I paid and left. I took my food home and ate when I got in. The shrimp shumai was very tasty and the salmon teriyaki box was also very good. The food was very filling. I would return for sure. read more

Friendly staff, fresh food, great place to pick up food. They have many healthy food selections too.

Been to this location many times. Usually good food and good service. We called in to order a roll platter (6 basic rolls and 2 premium rolls) for $80. I was told that the cost was going to be $90+ since the rolls we wanted were the more expensive rolls (even though we chose 6 rolls from the basic roll menu and 2 premium rolls). Had we ordered on-line, the rolls would have been $85 (after tax). When I came to pick up the order, I spoke with management who told me that this is normal and that paying $90 was less than they would normally charge me. When I explained that it was less just ordering online, they said if you don't want it, don't buy it. Since I had to feed the kids, I just paid the extra, but i hope they enjoy the extra cash since it is the last time we'll be spending any more money at this location. read more

I usually come here for lunch. The food is always super fresh and made to order. My go to is the teriyaki salmon bowl with brown rice, Romain lettuce, cucumber and avocado. (Try it thank me later) they are pretty pricey my order is usually$16 Be warned this place gets kinda crowded during lunch hours. Their smoothies are super yummy too! read more

Food For Life - Salmon bowl - Delis Near Me - Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey

Went for Lunch Food - 3/5. The food for life special sandwich sounded really good on paper but it was pretty disappointing when received. The sandwich felt hard and dry overall and I think it mostly had to do with the meager amount of filling. Chicken was very thin resulting in a hard exterior and dry interior and the crunch I expected from the apples were non-existent due to there only being one layer of paper-thin apples slices. Not a good sandwich. Service - 4/5. The place was packed but the service was quick with processing orders and delivery of the food. Value - 2/5. As expected of the area, the prices are on the higher end. Prices should match the value of what you are getting and $6.50 for a small, disappointing sandwich is just not worth it.

Food for life is an interesting concept. It is a cross between a deli/salad spot/sushi/juice shop. I got a salad and it was prepared well. Fresh ingredients and good dressing. It was a little pricey but I guess that is the area. They also had sushi and my colleague say it was good. They have all sorts of food here so I am sure you can find something you like. Not sure of the identity of this place but the product is solid. 3.5 stars. read more

LOVE their food and smoothies. They have the best detox drinks and the Chicken Deluxe is A little pricey but what isn't out here.

The sushi is very fresh and the prices are reasonable. They are quick and efficient in serving and pleasant to deal with.

The food is super clean and so delicious. My favorite is the open field. I substitute the beef to chicken cutlet once in a while and change the cheese to provolone and add mayo also. Mmm. It's busier during lunch time so I usually order ahead. Definitely if you want something healthy you can come here also. I love the brown rice bowl with grill chicken and vegetables. Oh~~ they also have sushi options! read more

Food For Life - Open field with avocado provolone mayo on a wrap but instead of beef I asked for chicken cutlet!! Try it out!! - Delis Near Me - Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey

First time here. Tried the wrap with roasted red peppers,fresh mozzarella and greens. Very refreshing with a good crunch, would recommend you order before you come if there for lunch only because it gets hectic. Only suggestion is maybe can dry off the ingredients slightly. Sandwich can get a little soggy if you don't eat it right away. read more

I work just up the street from this pace, so it is a great alternative for when my co-workers and I get sick of the cafeteria! Upon entering, I am always astounded by the number of employees working! Your are immediately greeted and asked if you are ready to order- there is an expansive menu so take your time deciding! If you want salad/sandwiches you order on the right and sushi on the left. There are lots of windows so it is bright and sunny. I am more of a sandwich girl myself and my go-to is the A.B.L.T. For those who don't know, this is a delicious combo of avocado, bacon, lettuce and tomato! YUM! I get mine on whole wheat/grain bread with a little mayo and it is soooo good! It's a fairly large sandwich and at $4.95 it is cheaper than the sandwiches at my work cafeteria! Some of my co-workers are into that whole juicing thing so they love going here and getting all sorts of combos of different fruits and veggies. The juices are quite expensive, but so are fruits and vegetables these days. A friend of mine always gets a "lunch box" of sushi and she loves it! I have never tried it myself, but from what I have seen the sushi looks pretty darn good! Overall, this is a great little lunch spot close to work with fresh ingredients. You can go all out with sushi and juices and break the bank or just get a sandwich for about $5! read more

I have never been disappointed with their food. And the service is fast. It's a great spot for lunch. My usual go to is the grilled chicken and veggie rice bowl. They have 4-5 tables outside for seating. read more

Ordered a B/E on a Roll with a pack of Korean chewy candy, and it cost me over $5. It was ok, but definitely not going to be the place I pick up breakfast from. On top of that, they don't really sell any candies (ex. chewing gum, mints, etc). One might call this place a Breakfast/Lunch Cafe. read more

This place is definitely my to go place for lunch at work. They offer almost everything! Breakfast platters, salad, sandwiches, rolls, few Korean foods, smoothies and juices! The food is super clean and they are very consistent! Who doesn't love consistency when it comes to restaurants?? The menu is pretty self-explanatory. Only thing I hate is that they don't have a pickup line/order line. It's just one big mess of a line and people are kind of confused if they can go up to get their food or wait in line to ask for it... read more

The food is clean and they have many healthy options. The food was okay but definitely on the pricier side and not the most friendliest service. There are many better restaurant options nearby. I wasn't impressed and I won't be going back anytime soon. read more

Takes me 15 min to get them on the phone then they tell me order one line when I ask for pickup order. Bad customer service.

A little on the more expensive side , but what do you expect for healthy-advertised food. Good quality overall though. Little low on seating, gets pretty busy during lunch hours. I usually order the paninis, the sunrise is my favourite. Would recommend them well over the sushi/teriyaki read more

Consistent. Fast. Delicious. Reasonably priced. Bam. I'm out. ps- the location in Fort Lee is equally great. read more

I always head here for lunch when I'm at my internship down the street and it's a good choice on my part! Food for Life is the ultimate deli/sandwich shop in my opinion. A lot of choices, quick service, AND all of the ingredients are fresh. I always get the Light Delight which comes with Turkey, Swiss Grilled Vegetables, and Honey Mustard. I always have mine on a 7 Grain sandwich because I like feeling good about myself but they offer other choices with white or whole grain bread. The sandwich itself is warmed and it tastes perfect. Sweet, savory, crunchy and healthy. I still need to try the sushi bar in the corner that the place because even that looks fresh (and fairly priced)! With a crew of about 10 people in the kitchen, the place gets its food out ASAP. Food for Life puts other places like Panera to shame. read more

My go-to place in northern Bergen County for fresh and delicious sandwiches and soups. Seriously top-notch food and pretty quick service.

The Owners and workers are very respectful with consistency of ordered food. Always reliable and affordable. They offer a great variety from breakfast to lunch foods with the food always being fresh. read more

My co-worker lives and dies by this place... ever since he was hooked on "Orange Roll" which is like california roll wrapped with salmon sashimi... he orders this with 2 additional salmon sashimi and a shot of wheat grass... oh wow.. talk about health nut... It is a deli.. truly just a deli that is over-priced... I am not sure what the big deal is with this place... the cashiers always look like they are running a 50K marathon screaming and yelling at each other as if this was some happening place in NYC... I don't know.. I don't know... food quality is OK.. nothing that normal sushi joint cannot handle... hm... it's just OK... There are tables to sit and not every table has a say sauce jar so you have to get it near by garbage bin... no recycling of the bottles... It's up to you.. i'm just OK with it.. :) read more

I would say the food is definitely very good, but as others have pointed out, it is a bit pricey. I work very close by so it's very convenient. The sandwiches and Udon are tasty. My biggest gripe is their requirement of a $10 minimum for credit cards. While I respect their right to do this, I find it annoying since I carry very little cash! So I now tend to avoid going there for lunch unless I'm too lazy to go elsewhere. read more

The food here is really good (at both locations, one in Fort Lee the other in Englewood Cliffs). You can tell that the ingredients are fresh and of good quality. Their sandwiches, wraps, juices, and sushi are all really good and very well-made. The only thing is that the food is on the pricier side. OK, so overall the food isn't expensive (I'm giving it a $ since pricing is relative, I guess), but it's overpriced for deli food. And the sandwiches/wraps are pretty small so I'm always left still feeling a little hungry. For the sake of full disclosure, I will say that one time my dad got fruit here that was rotten and they were very hesitant to take it back, which is dumb. They did eventually, but weren't too happy about it. read more

We entered the restaurant and there was a fantastic smell of flavors. The menu was well detailed. Staff were very helpful. We ordered the delux chicken sandwich on a white panini. It was very delicious and highly recommended. To accompany our meal we had a carrabian smoothie. This again was a great drink and meal in itself. Overall we think if you want anything from sushi to deli sandwiches, drinks and smoothies..this is your place!! Thank you Food For Life. read more

Dependably good fresh sandwiches. I usually go with a veggie option, but there grilled chicken sandwiches are good too. The ordering, paying and getting the food process seems like a disorganized mess some days but it always works itself out. Overall a solid lunch spot. read more

Bad service by the cashier of today at 3 pm is very rude, the man was angry because don't speak fast what I want

I've been to this place just under ten times now. The food is great everytime and the place is extremely clean. However, the staff isn't the friendliest but at least the food makes up for that part. Great variety so you really can't get bored of the menu read more

This is what a deli should be. Quick, clean, and LOTS of variety. Personally I'm a big fan of their sushi salads, and spicy tuna rolls. It's a bit on the pricey side as deli's go, but worth it. read more

Usually I go the sushi, but I cant live on sushi alone, so I opted for a roast beef club sandwich. As with their sushi the roast beef was very fresh and very lean as you can see in picture. A good value for the money. It would be good if they included some coleslaw or potato salad with it. read more

My favorites: Chicken cutlet sandwich Avacado BLT Tuna/ Egg salad Basically can't go wrong w any sandwich.... The best around. Don't know about the sushi... Never ate it but looks like Wholefoods rolls read more

Tried their salad and sandwich first time. Very amateur. Portion is small. There are a bunch of much better places in Englewood Cliffs and Englewood area. read more

At my mother's behest I decided to check out this health-conscious deli run by koreans in englewood cliffs. You walk in and it's a deli, that's really it, but the prices are gourmet cafe prices and I mean, $8.00 for a grilled veggie sandwich. Now, as for the grilled vegetable sandwich I ordered. Keep in mind I did not walk into this establishment with high expectations, albeit with a bit of skepticism. The grilled sandwich was advertised on the menu as including "fresh" mozzarella and balsamic vinagrette. Neither was included. We were charged the full $8.00 or so and when my mother brought the sandwich back to the counter to point out that it was missing the advertised ingredients, the genius at the counter advised her she would have to pay an extra dollar. I understand if you've only opened your restaurant recently (been over a year) and you are not that familiar with your own store's menu. But don't LIE to your customer and tell her she needs to pay an extra $1.00 for an ingredient already included in the overpriced grilled veggie sandwich. Don't advertise it as a "CHEF'S CHOICE" if you 1.) don't know how to make it right; 2.) forget the key ingredients that would bring the flavors together (and is also part of the price); and 3.) stick a cold slice of raw tomato in there and think you have yourself a masterpiece. What do you expect from a "health-conscious, health friendly" DELI (not restaurant) run by koreans? I tell the owners they should just stick to cheap korean fare, and don't pretend they know a thing about 1.) healthy american gourmet sandwich-making, and 2.) making and keeping satisfied customers. As for health-conscious and savvy customers who are on the fence about visiting this establishment, I say spend your money elsewhere. I recommend TASTEatery in Fort Lee located on 1224 Anderson Avenue, Fort Lee, NJ 07024. They have never LIED to their customers, they have outdoor seating, and their food is legitimately organic and well-made and the price is reasonable. Besides that, they are not run by shoddy service and the counter people know a thing or two about attracting and keeping happy customers. Forget "FOOd for Life". I am clearly NOT going back to this establishment. read more

Healthy place. I like that they have fresh veggie and fruit juices. Good variety of sandwiches and wraps but often they are not that flavorful....for my taste. They serve sushi too which is good but the sushi and sandwich choices are overall overpriced for the lack of flavor. It's decent though and I'll still go back. Seems that most people get takeout here versus eat in. Cafe type atmosphere inside...not restaurant. read more
