I’ve come to the Greece CoreLife for over 4 years now and I’ve always ordered the same thing - the Korean BBQ Pork Bowl. I’ve never been disappointed, if anything I’ve always been the #1 advocate of this place to family and friends. Well that’s most definitely over. I come in just before 7pm (They close at 8pm) and instantly I’m given looks and sighs of frustration as I order as if it’s an inconvenience. I order my bowl, and they start serving it in a takeout bowl, obviously they didn’t want us to sit down, which is fine. Again, more than an hour before closing. The lady take everything from my bowl and throws it on the grill…(Quinoa, roots, broccoli, etc…) none of these ingredients get grilled? They burned half of it. The bowl isn’t supposed to be hot. That already ruined it for me before I ate it. The portions were abysmal and the customer service was worse, by 2 specific workers. Constant sighs and clear frustration from the staff made me feel like a burden as a customer. Safe to say I will never give my money to this location again. And I recommend you don’t either! Don’t waste your time or your money

On January 31st I purchased 2 sizzle bowls, The kung pao and korean barbecue, and they were both absolutely delicious - the best I've ever had. I will definitely go back to this restaurant over and over again. And I especially want to thank the young girl who made the bowls for me. I think her name is Julianna or Lillian, i forgot to ask her name when I was there, but I believe it was Juliana and she did a terrific job!!

Hello,
I came into this location today intending to purchase a smoothie only, something I have done many times in the past. When I arrived, there were approximately six customers in line ordering food. As I have done before, I approached the front to place a smoothie order.
Initially, no one acknowledged me. I assumed this was because I was on my phone, so I placed my call on hold and spoke to the gentleman I understood to be the manager. I explained that I was there to order a smoothie, and he informed me that I needed to wait in line behind those ordering food. I did not argue or question this and waited in line for approximately 5–10 minutes.
When it was finally my turn, I informed the staff member that I was there to order a smoothie. She then stated that the order could have been placed directly at the register, but took my order anyway. At that point, it was frustrating to realize that I had waited unnecessarily, especially when the staff were occupied with orders while others, including the manager, were not actively assisting customers.
Typically, when I come in for a smoothie, the entire transaction takes only a few minutes. Seeing that no effort was made to take that brief amount of time to assist a customer was disappointing. While this was not the worst restaurant experience I’ve had, customer service is an important factor in deciding where to spend my money. With many other smoothie locations nearby that prioritize efficient and attentive service, it makes it difficult to justify returning to one that does not.
Edit: upon getting home I realized that my smoothie was made incorrectly, and had to return to the store to have it remade.

CoreLife here is one of the healthier, fresh, and yet still filling sit-in quick meal places around here. Granted you can get a meal box to go, or have them turn the salad into an enormous wrap, but they're mostly known for their salads or hot rice/noodle bowls. You'll pay around $12 for the meal, a bit more if you add one of their unusual (but good!) drinks as well. I firmly recommend them. Most other places have highly processed foods on the menu; here you can only choose what's good for you, and it'll be excellent in taste as well.

I wanted to share feedback about my most recent visit, as it was noticeably below the quality I’ve come to expect. While the food still tasted great, the large bowls I ordered were significantly underfilled. They’re normally packed to the brim, but this time both bowls were barely halfway full and the ingredients looked rushed and unevenly prepared. Even with the bowl being tossed, it felt like the portioning and overall attention to detail just weren’t there.
When I arrived to pick up my order, I also witnessed an interaction that left a poor impression. A customer in front of me asked for avocado, and while she agreed to the additional charge, she was then told the avocado was hard. When she asked to speak with a manager—which is a reasonable request—the older employee with white hair declined to get anyone. Coming from a management background myself, even when a customer’s request seems inconvenient, it’s important to address their concerns respectfully.
Between the underprepared bowls and the lack of professionalism in that interaction, this visit felt disappointing and out of character for a place that usually delivers great service and quality. I hope this feedback helps ensure better experiences moving forward.

Went in at 7:40 p.m- they close at 8. I was told they were out of chicken and steak and not willing to make more. The employees were extremely rude and dismissive.
As we were leaving, several other customers walked in and ended up walking right back out, equally frustrated and empty-handed. This isn’t a one-time issue- the exact same thing happened before around 7:30 p.m last month and I decided to give them another chance.
I’ve been a loyal CoreLife customer since the location first opened, but after being treated this way twice, I won’t be back. It’s clear customer service and consistency no longer matter here. You just lost a faithful customer.
Used to be better. Today- Waiting in line for 20 minutes with no movement, no one filling orders, no one acknowledging us. No management. Counters and floors needed to be cleaned. Many of us left today instead of sticking around.

Ignoring customers in the store to only do door dash order after door dash order is insane. 22 minutes with 5 ppl in front of us and we didn't get to order. When we got up there to order just continued making door dash orders. Figure it out and figure out who you should be prioritizing. Horrible management
There was a bug (not a small one!) in my salad.
