| - Core Life definitely has a few particular target customers. This fast-casual eatery offering salads and broth "bowls" caters primarily to those who are gluten free, vegetarian, health-conscious, or have dietary restrictions on sodium, sugar, or food additives.
Although I appriciated the concept, service, cleanliness, and atmosphere, I didn't quite enjoy my steak and ginger broth bowl. That is because I am simply not one of Core Life's target customers. I value bold flavors, spices, and proper salting of food over the simplicity and "healthiness" of the dish I was provided. The reason I took one star off is because I personally didn't enjoy my meal, and I left slightly hungry and underwhelmed. Althought the portions were big, the meals start at around $8+ and I felt that I could whip up the meal they served me by pouring broth over fresh veggies and meat at home at a reduced cost. To reiterate: there wasn't anything interesting, particularly tasty, or innovative to the dish I ate. It was very bland.
Even though Core Life isn't for me, if you are any one of the people mentioned above I urge you to give this place a try. My vegetarian friend that I came here with and a few other people in line couldn't stop raving about how there is finally a place for them to eat at, and how they've been there several times since its opening.
When it comes to tasty bone broth soups, I'll stick to Pho.
