I had not been planning to eat at CoreLife Eatery yesterday [4-30-2019] but I am very glad that I had ended up deciding to eat there. The Japanese restaurant several blocks to the north had been closed [I now know that they are closed on Tuesdays] so I had started to walk south on N. High St. looking for a different place to eat. I entered the recently-opened CoreLife Eatery without even noticing the name, studied the large and complex menu for several minutes, and then decided to stay. I ordered and ate Spicy Chicken Rice Bowl, which is described on the menu as "Spicy Thai antibiotic-free chicken, purple rice blend, spinach, pickled red onion, sesame sriracha sprouts, house-made falafel, choice of seasonal roasted vegetables, chicken broth." My Spicy Chicken Rice Bowl had been absolutely delicious. The "choice of seasonal roasted vegetables" had included both potatoes and sweet potatoes [and possibly beets]; the spinach had been absolutely fresh and each leaf had been perfectly flat; the purple rice and the sprouts had been wonderful. The "chicken broth" had been spicy, similar to a salad dressing, and probably had been flavored with vinegar. Rather than serving sweetened carbonated beverages, there had been several juice dispensers as well as plain water that had been free and had been served with ice. Yesterday had been one of the very few times in my life when I have filled a glass of water by using a dispenser that is marked with the word "water." The dishes and silverware at CoreLife Eatery are, respectively, ceramic or metal [which means that they can be washed and re-used; they even have chopsticks for those who prefer that way of eating.

I love that this place is quick and healthy - which is so hard to find. The portion sizes are awesome too, I always leave with leftovers. So thankful for a CoreLife in walking distance!
