The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly and the food was damn good! We bought two different bowls. We are them when we got home. I took out the pickled onion and avocado and heated them up in the microwave for 90 seconds. Then I added the garnish and a spr8of finishing salt from my kitchen. Both bowls were amazing. We will return. read more

Truly delivering on their goal to provide chef-inspired fast healthy food. I found them on Yelp!, ordered online and picked it up en route to my next stop. It was finished upon arrival with an interesting mix of aromatic flavors; carbs, protein and veggies in one bowl at a reasonable price. I don't live in Tampa but it was just what I needed. read more

I love coming here! The food is always fresh and extremely flavorful. Plus I don't have to worry about toxic additives! Highly recommended!

Good for you and good tasting. Easy to find and get to. Room inside to sit. Online it seemed like there were pre-designed bowls but once there it was not easy to figure out. It was pretty much make your own bowl. Plenty of cold and warm options to make your bowl. Other than some of the proteins, most everything was vegan so a great option for vegans. We enjoyed our bowls and you got a good amount of food. Drinks are an assortment of flavored teas. Staff was nice but did not offer up much help for figuring out how to make your bowls. read more

They can have my business any day of the week, this location is an absolute STAR!! I had placed an order online and unfortunately it just wasn't working but charging my card so finally I called them and asked if they had multiple orders because I kept getting notifications saying charged but not letting me place order and I talked with Kyle who was so nice about the situation and even though it had nothing to do with them they made things a lot better! I got fantastic service which made me happy because I wouldn't gotten if I would have ordered curbside and a delicious meal! I can't thank them enough for making my literal whole day, you guys are amazing!! read more

I love chipotle and other fresh bowl type of places, this is my first time to Bolay, and I was not disappointed! I went with the pesto noodles, forbidden black rice, zucchini, fire roasted corn, and for the protein I went with the steak and shrimp. Add the pineapple jalapeño sauce and that was a really good bowl! I'll be back soon to try other things. Also, it was my first time so everybody at the front counter and register were friendly and helpful. Place was also clean. read more

Very interesting healthy fast food join. They do carry vegan food. However I like some non vegan sections which is more interesting. I think the bowl here has good base for the selection. This includes many choices like cilantro noodle, Asian sweet potatoes noodle (recommended), forbidden black rice, Tuscan zucchini and more. We got two bowl. Our protein is spicy Thai shrimp and mojo pull pork. The shrimp is up charge with 8 shrimps provided. I also creamy garlic sauce and eel sauce. The topping also good. Our selection is good combo, it is not watery. Good mixture. Seem like assembling line is well train and in the fast track. Food has good taste. Love it. read more

I was craving something a little healthier while I was in the Brandon area, and I found Bolay. You get to choose from some of their pre-curated menu "Chef Bols" or you can create your own with your choices of veggies, grains, proteins, and sauces. I did the build your own "Bol" in the regular size with 3 veggies, greens, or grains - I did the Asian sweet potato noodles (amazing!), the chopped kale salad, and the sweet chili brussel sprouts. For my protein I did the roasted salmon ($3 upcharge). I also added on fresh avocado ($2 upcharge) and goat cheese ($.50 upcharge). For my sauce, I did the creamy garlic and herb sauce. The "Bol" was absolutely delicious! I really want to try their other options, but the bowl I made was just so darn good, I may have to get it again! To drink, I had the Bolay Island Time strawberry orange juice. Make sure you shake the bottle, but it was so yummy and refreshing! I will definitely be back for more! The girls behind the counter were very friendly and accommodating! Service was great! There is inside and outside seating, so nice ambiance depending on what you're in the mood for! read more

Bolay - Create your own Bol - New American Near Me - Brandon, Florida

Bolay is the BOMB! I first tried Bolay in West Palm Beach a few years ago. Then scarfed down Bolay in Winter Park. I knew I loved it right away. Quality ingredients, so fresh, and everything cooked to perfection. The other fresh bowl places can't even compare to the amazingness of Bolay. This is the third Bolay I have been to, and it sure is consistently amazing. I had a small bowl and just because it says small, and looks small doesn't mean it is. It's quite filling. I say pick your own toppings. Mine were forbidden rice(black rice) & sweet potato noodles, mushrooms, shrimp, parm, and cilantro. Sauces I picked were cilantro pesto and creamy garlic. The bowl is so good already. The sauces compliment it but essentially sauce is not even needed. I love the tea choices. I picked the berry patch. I'm always afraid Berry type teas taste like liquid medicine, but nope it's awesome!! I'm going to be back. Even though I don't go to Brandon often I would definitely come back in a heartbeat!! read more

So we checked out Bolay and were pleasantly surprised to find the food delicious and fresh. I thought it may be on the salty side as many places can be but it was not. So many combinations to choose from. Roasted vegetables , noodles, black rice, also meats, and sauces (I'm not into sauces so I skipped those) Both of us couldn't finish our meals so we took them home and ate them the next day (still delicious). We were full for hours afterwards. Lots of indoor seats and a window counter to sit at. We found it to be clean and spacious. The service was given with a smile and eager to answer any questions we had. Given a choice to eat here again -yep! We would. read more

For Saturday brunch we were looking for a place to have healthy bowls. Since didn't had bowls from Bolay before we decided to have healthy bowls from Bolay. It was around 20 minutes from our place. Accessibility Bolay is in the prime spot in Brandon and apart from Bolay there are lot other stores so there is an open parking which is available and accessible for everyone. Ambiance Once we walked in we loved the ambiance and they had fresh food along with plant based food in their menu. It was a clean restaurant with the fresh decor. Food From the food we decided to order bowls. First bowl was the lemon chicken bowl with roasted corn along with fresh avocado, roasted potatoes and beans. The second bowl was the custom based bowl which included teriyaki chicken with spicy Thai shrimp with roasted corn, beans and cauliflower. The servers were amazing and added the food according to our requirements. The food was delicious plus the plant based food. We loved our food which was delicious along with the sauces. Prices Although the price seemed to be little high as compared to the bowls from other restaurants but the food was healthy as well as delicious. Definitely a must try healthy food restaurant. read more

Stopped in for an impromptu lunch with Mom. I was unsure of what to order because it was my first time so I allowed the staff to guide me. They suggested the most popular items which I will say was spot on because they do allow you to taste options before making your bowl and truly what I ordered was the best. The food wasn't bad but I won't be rushing back either. The Asian sweet potato noodles were definitely the highlight of this dish. The customer service was good and the restaurant itself was very clean. read more

Bolay wasn't too bad. Their concept is pretty similar to fresh kitchen with healthy options. But the food was just ok for me. My bowl was loaded with more rice than anything. I also had Brussels , spinach and teriyaki chicken. There wasn't much flavor at all. The only thing that had flavor was the teriyaki chicken. Overall not a bad healthy option , just need to add more flavor to the ingredients. read more

Bolay - New American Near Me - Brandon, Florida

This is one of the healthiest fast food options in the area. The store is still very new and very clean and the people super friendly. The whole process of ordering is very similar to how a Chipotle works. You order your bowl and pick a base, then veggies, then meat, and finally extra toppings and sauces. The ordering is quick and easy, but I would say that the screens over head could be cleaned up a bit to make it easier to pick out before you walk up to order. They have their own unique drinks to go with your food and a few of them have been very tasty. The meals themselves vary heavily, but that is more so on you and not them since you pick out what you put in it. I am going to be honest and say that I have chosen a bad combo in the past. There is ample seating, including a back patio (I have never sat out here as it over looks 60). If you are coming here from Lakewood, take the very first entrance to the plaza because the next entrance is only supposed to be used for people going the other direction and can cause a wreck. There is also a good amount of parking. read more

I enjoyed this place. I went there for lunch and had a bowl. I thought it was good. The service was also friendly.

I love the teriyaki chicken with the creamy garlic and herb sauce complement's to the chef

Love the fresh, tasty food, the fast and friendly service. The asian sweet potator noodle (base) and the teriyaki chicken (protein) are highly recommend. Everything else I tried for my bowl was ok. I went with Large bowl to allow more options, 2 bases, 2 proteins, 2 veggies. Only difference is the Regular bowl is 1 of each instead of 2. For bases I got Asian Sweet Potato Noodles which was fantastic. My 2nd base was the Kale Yeah Salad which was ok, seem like a weird option for a base, not sure why it's not a veggie option. For Veggie options I got the potatoes and the beans, both were good choices, the potatoes had some herbs add to make it more interesting. For Proteins I got the Teriyaki Chicken which was great, very flavorful and tender meat. Also got the Spicey Thai Shrimp, this was ok, you will have to pay extra to get this but I didn't think it was worth the upcharge. read more

My husband chose this spot and I didn't think it would be anything more than a healthy choice, but the food ended up being really good. It has a "fresh off the grill" taste and even the veggies have great flavor. Nothing is bland or boring, which was a fear of mine. The decor was bright and trendy and the menu is pretty self-explanatory. I took off a star because I was a bit put off by one of the employees failing to let me know that if I only wanted one item from the veggie/starch section (you get three choices) that I could get double or triple servings of that one item. Luckily a very helpful and awesome employee named Ashley saw that my large bowl only had a couple of potatoes and she let me know that I could have more servings if I wanted. The previous employee seemed to be annoyed that she did this for me. My husband appreciated this because he's an eater and it was his bowl. Ashley was so patient with me given it was my first time. The only other thing that bothered me was that I noticed I was charged for a Chia Pudding when I got home. I hate chia seeds and I hate wasting money, so this was disappointing. All of those hiccups aside, if we're just judging the food, it was a perfect meal. Guiltless, good eating! The juices near the cash register were awesome (but beware there's added sugar) and the cookies were soft and fresh baked. I recommend the chocolate chip over the snickerdoodle. read more

I've been going to Bolay for years and I was so happy to see them in the Valrico area. The food options are always fresh and the selection is fantastic!

Bolay - Shrimp and Salmon bowls - New American Near Me - Brandon, Florida

I already love it! It was my first time at Bolay. I've never been to any other location. I've heard great things about them, and I've been waiting for them to open. Well, now it's open and I must say that I agree with all of the 5 star reviews. The service was the first thing I noticed. Everyone was friendly, kind, and helpful. Automatically they said you can sample anything you want. That made me feel special. I didn't need to sample anything because I already knew what I wanted, but it's nice to know that you can try it first if necessary. I asked for a small Baja Lemon Chicken Bol which typically comes with cilantro noodles and jasmine rice as the base. I substituted the rice with the kale salad and it was a great decision. The salad had a light and sweet dressing on it that went perfectly with the lemon chicken and cilantro noodles. The cilantro noodles were also very good. I believe it's the cilantro pesto sauce mixed with the noodles. What I liked is that the cilantro didn't overpower any of the other flavors. The lemon chicken was tender and tasty even by itself. It also comes with Ginger broccoli which was also very tasty. Now, the avocado was an upcharge but it was well worth adding it. If you look at the pictures you'll see that it's fresh avocado that is sliced right there in front of you. It was exactly what I wanted and needed that afternoon. They had some juices and cookies towards the end of the serving line and right before you pay. The Hawaiian Healer was a great combination of pineapple and ginger. They had other juices as well, but I'm happy with what I picked out based on one of the staff member's recommendations. I went to add the chocolate chip cookie and to my surprise they gave it to me just because it was my first visit. How wonderful is that? Yes, I am going back for many more visits. So, I arrived at around 4:30 on a Thursday. There were no other diners there at that time. I was thinking it would be full of people since they just opened the week before. Well, now I know the best time to go free of crowds. They also have a pick up area for online orders which is convenient and near the entrance. The dining area is open and clean. There is plenty of parking. It's an easy plaza to get in and out of because there are 2 traffic lights at both ends to take you back onto Brandon Blvd. Location, location, location is what they say. It's the perfect location. I'll be back to try the Thai Shrimp & Noodles. The glass sweet potato noodles look very good, but I know I'll eventually try it all. I'm so glad they are here in Brandon. read more

This has become our new go to place for a quick lunch. I like that they have tofu options and the different noodles of sweet potato and cilantro. I usually have a small bowl ($8.79) with half spinach half noodles with tofu, mushroom and broccoli and sometimes add the extra avocado($1.50) Large bowls are $11.29 and shrimp is extra ($2.29) Drinks run $2.39, so two people can eat for $35 dollars with tip. It is not a fancy place and you order at counter and pay at counter then take to table to eat. A fun place to meet friends read more
