This review is long overdue! Bolay is such a blessing for anyone who avoids gluten and/or dairy -- and it's wonderful for anyone trying to eat clean on the go. The bowls are reasonably priced and packed with flavor. My go-to is the regular Build-Your-Own Bowl. I choose sweet potato noodles paired with almond kale salad as my base, Brussels sprouts or sweet potatoes for veggies, and tofu (don't worry -- they have plenty of meat options!) for protein, topped with tomatoes, almonds, and pickled onions. It's so delicious and loaded with nutrients to keep me going. Not only is it healthy and satisfying, but the regular bowl is under $12! The staff is also generous with portions, making it an outstanding value. I can't recommend this place enough. I go regularly, and the food and service are consistently excellent. Thank you, Bolay! read more

Bolay - Brandon - Signature Build Your Own Bol - New American Near Me - Brandon, Florida

Ordered pick up here for the 1st time tonight, Sunday 1/18/26 using their website. Super easy. Chose ASAP pick up option and the build your own bowl (large) was ready in 6 min from ordering. Crazy fast. Just before getting the bowls home the car started to smell like the food and it was yummy. Opened the two bowls at home and they were chock-full of all the fresh ingredients we picked to the brim. Awesome. Didn't even need the two sauces they let you pick cuz the food was so fresh and flavorful. Every forkful had it's own unique blend of tastes and they were all great together. The chipotle sauce was tasty and light. The ginger tumeric had a great taste but was made with a mayo base I think and was just too thick/heavy. If they thinned it out a bit it would be perfect. This minor shortcoming was not enough to earn less than 5 stars. Enough food for 2 more meals, all for $10-15. Will Definitely be eating here again soon and frequently. Fresh, light, flavorful, clean. Done. read more

Really dig this spot. Consistent service and quality of food. I've taken to go and ordered from uber eats when in town and have enjoyed the bowls and the baked wings. Ingredients are fresh and the seasonings and sauces they offer are great. I typically go with a build your own bowl and add wings as an extra. Highly recommend the sweet potato, broccoli and Brussels as a base read more

The food was great! I compare it to like a so fresh or a fresh kitchen but in all honesty I liked this more! The service was amazing while they were talking me through ingredients since I have allergies and it was my first time there. But what I didn't like was the people in the restaurant loud there was like a friend of employees talking over the glass and people on speaker phones if not this would be a 5/5. read more

I love going to Bolay in the central FL area and tried this location for the first time. It is the cutest one I've been to! I ordered ahead and my bowl was ready when I got there. They have lots of seating options and the staff were great. I also appreciate how cautious/careful they are of a no gluten kitchen and heard them talking about this during an interview that was being conducted. Thanks Bolay for being the best:) read more

At first, upon entering the cafe, the food smelled so so delish! Of course I was starving and I wanted something fast and full of protein. Other than eating mexican food everyday...my thinking was.... how about Bolay as a change of pace ?? Its good and you get your moneys worth...however.... I think that the chunk of beef could be more tender and seasoned better. I'm enthusiastic about this place but it certainly won't be my first choice. read more

With everyone doing the fresh healthy bowl casual dining, I figured Bolay would be similar to others I have tried before. To my surprise, I tried this location in Brandon and it definitely rivaled its counterparts Fresh Kitchen. My toddler had the pesto noodles and devoured it! I didn't even need to feed her. I had their rainbow bowl and the two chicken thighs were large, juicy and flavorful. My husband had the teriyaki bowl and the chicken was the delicious and personally their sweet potato noodles were better than others. Did I mention their bowls were 100% gluten free? They allowed me to sample one of the items I wasn't sure I would like and I appreciated that. read more

Jut as good as Fresh Kitchen and other farm to table concept restaurants that populate the Tampa and St Pete area. I like that they have a few extra items to choose from than the others. Got a bean mixture for one of my sides that was mighty tasty! Also really enjoyed their teriyaki chicken. Service was prompt. Will be back. read more

The dish I ordered was very much like or would say better than the photo online. Veggies & black rice & tofu were fresh, gorgeous, cooked to perfection.

My wife and I wanted a low-key, relatively healthy dinner and that's just what we got at Bolay of Brandon. My wife and I arrived here around 5pm on a weekday night. We've seen Bolay around and just never made the move to stop in. We've been meaning to try this place. We walked into a mostly empty restaurant and got right in line. The service is like a Chipotle where you start with the base of what you want, here, a bowl or wrap, and then build from there. You can also go with their pre-designed flavors, which we did. My wife ordered the mojo pulled pork bowl. This started with jasmine rice and was topped with kale salad, power beans, mojo flavored pulled pork and then topped with fresh pickled red onions, chopped cilantro and a savory, creamy, garlic and herb sauce. She really enjoyed it! I ordered the Steak au jus bol. This one also started with jasmine rice and was topped with a spinach and almond salad, fire roasted corn, steak au jus, parmesan, chimichurri tomatoes and the same creamy garlic and herb sauce. One stand-out was the steak. The steak was cooked medium-rare. It wasn't chewy or over cooked at all. It had great flavor and seemed to be top quality meat. Both bowls offered up fresh ingredients that had a mix of flavors and textures. Soft, crunchy, meaty, filling but not overly filling and just good. The mojo pulled pork bowl was so good that we decided to recreate it at home ourselves. We even pickled our own red onions. I'd say if you're looking for a lighter, healthier meal out check out Bolay. It's simple but tasty and won't leave you feeling heavy. It's a choice that you can feel good about and it doesn't break the bank. We will be back! read more

Food is always great, fresh, healthy and guaranteed gluten free. If you're looking for healthy and fast, great choice.

This place is always a hit! It's a nice grab option without the fast food feeling. Their food is always fresh and the customer service is friendly. I decided to take the family to get something for dinner and they never disappoint. The many options they have and the price isn't bad either. It's always pretty peaceful when stopping in . This is a great option, filling and fresh! read more

I ordered via Uber Eats from the Brandon location. I have only eaten at the Tampa location and it was amazing so I was def in the mood for a good healthy bowl and a cookie. Even being delivered, Bolay did not disappoint. I ordered 2 chicken bowls, 2 choc chip cookies and lemonade. Boy did that hit the spot. I love dark meat, bone in skin on chicken thighs. Super tasty and get much needed collagen from the skin. Yes most have been led to believe it is not healthy, but that's where the collagen is ladies. Bone in just adds more flavor as it cooks. The spinach salad and chimichurri tomatoes with corn and topped with their creamy garlic and herb sauce was divine. The chicken was perfectly cooked and flavorful. Their lemonade was very refreshing, nothing better than that in this Florida heat. For dessert a gf choc chip cookie that did not disappoint. Uber eats was running a bogo special I had dinner then lunch the next day! I highly recommend Bolay and if you are gluten free, this is your jam!!!!! read more

I missed Bolay so much. When I lived in Winter Park I used to eat here once or twice a week! I love all the flavor in their veggies and the cilantro noodles are so delicious! I ordered a regular bowl with cilantro noodles, broccoli, brussel sprouts and mojo pork topped with parm and cilantro pesto sauce. You get so much fresh food for $10! I also ordered two bowls for my parents and they were super impressed! If there is a Bolay near you, you must try it! read more

We picked up dinner after a long weekend out of town. It was our first visit. And certainly the food was good but my husband described his bowl as a lot of things that didn't go together. And honestly I feel your choices were difficult to make match. But you did get a lot of food. More than we could eat. I ordered online and my order was ready when I arrived. Even though we just picked up our order to go the restaurant was pleasant and clean read more

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

My daughter got food poisoning from this location today. She got a kids chicken bowl with the citrus chicken and immediately after eating it felt sluggish, then a stomach ache arose and she has already thrown up twice. She always has the same breakfast so I know it wasn't that. I'm giving this location a star for customer service but I'm extremely disappointed that going here is causing her to have food poisoning like this. *I contacted the general manager and he refunded our meal and told us that our next meal was on him. He handled my complain swiftly which I appreciate. I stressed to him how important proper cleanliness was and that they have an extremely important responsibility on their hands. The health and safety of children and adults visiting their restaurant needs to be considered and one of the most important things considered. 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
