    Build-your-own-bowl: Sweet potato noodles. Kale salad. Lemon chicken. Corn, pickled onion, cheese and garlic sauce.

    Running errands and decided to try something new. Happy that I choose Bolay. The staff was very pleasant and present The food was delicious and fresh. The one thing I regret is that I don't have a location closer to home.

    I picked bolay after a workout. I really loved the options for Bolay! The amount of combinations allowed for a regular bowl is perfect!! You can add extra protein or anything like that if you need. Sherif let me try the two chicken options, since I was in the middle. Both delicious, but went with teriyaki. Sherif was very patient and helpful. Much appreciated, as this was my first time. Love that they had banana peppers as one of the final toppers. Great touch! The restaurant its self is super clean and bright, and spacious with lots of windows. Tons of parking too! Great visit! Can't wait to come back. They were exactly what I needed after my workout!

    I wasn't sure what to expect, but wow build your own bowl turned out to be amazing! The salad I created (see picture for what | built) was packed with so much flavor that I didn't even need dressing. I've driven past this place countless times without stopping-big mistake. The food is fresh, delicious, and the prices are very reasonable. The staff was super friendly, and I love that they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. I'll definitely be coming back!

    I originally was going to Chick-fil-A, but I decided to change my final stop to Bolay because I passed by it and saw the sign and figured I could go for something a little healthier. It was a easy drive and parking was easy with lots of space. It's in the plaza with the Michaels and PetSmart, conveniently located to two other similar options, which are chipotle and just salad. Once you enter, there's a lot of indoor and outdoor seating and everything inside Looked clean. I walked to the beginning of the line so I can place my order. I asked what was popular and I was advised that most people just build their own bowl so I did just that. I got the small bowl so it comes with two base one vegetable one protein and like three toppings for about like $12. I was advised, though that the base can be substituted for an additional veggie instead, so that would mean one base and two veggies. As you can see in the photos, it was like there weren't prepped well enough because when I went in there, there was like barely anything, but I made it work. I did just wish that there were more fresh and available options. And for my drink, I ended up buying a bottle of Pepsi. As soon as I opened it, it didn't fizzle, and when I drink it, it was extremely flat. So I went back in and let them know. I got a new bottle, it was better, but I'm not going to lie. It was definitely still pretty flat so that was pretty disappointing. Overall total came out to be about like $15 but I gave a two dollar tip because the kid who worked behind the counter was nice, I believe his name was Jose. Overall, I don't know if it's the time I came or what (I came around 4:30 PM) but it was definitely a disappointment because I was really looking forward to it to be honest because it's been forever since I've had Bolay. I might just have to try another location out the next time.

    Pleasantly surprised. The food was phenomenal, tasty, fresh and healthy! The staff was super pleasant and informative. The restaurant was clean and had a nice ambiance for fast order food. It's a healthier option of chipotle with all glisten free options and all delicious! I'd eat here again

    I was a bit hungry while driving along US-1 and decided to pull into the Bal Harbour Square to get a quick bite at Bolay. Inside the restaurant definitely had a lunchroom cafeteria look going on. There were only a few people dining both inside and outside with more steadily coming to either pick up their order or place an order. I approached the counter and carefully looked at the menu on the wall. I chose a regular bol which consisted of 2 bases (Jasmine rice & chopped kale salad), 1 veggie (roasted mushrooms), 1 protein (teriyaki chicken), up to 3 toppings (chopped cilantro, feta cheese, toasted sliced almonds), and 1 sauce (creamy garlic & herb) on the side. As the female employee placed my choices in a bowl, visually it didn't look appetizing. I sat at an available table to eat and after the first two bites thought to myself...it wasn't all that bad. The Jasmine rice was cooked to a soft consistency and was tasty. The teriyaki chicken and mushrooms were tender and flavorful. At first I was unsure I would like the cilantro, almonds, and feta cheese in the mix; but it actually complemented the kale salad by adding appeal, flavor, and crunch. I didn't use the sauce. In my opinion, it wasn't needed. The juice I picked was delicious though it wasn't as cold as I would have liked it. Overall the ambiance was chill, and the service and the food was okay. I don't see myself frequenting this place much, but I would come back to try one more regular bol creation. I know exactly how I want it next time.

    Terrific outpost of a chain that lets you build your own salad/other bowl. This location in particular seems to have very happy friendly staffers. 5 star service. The workers call out hello before you even get to the counter. They always seem to be in a good mood and chatty too. 5 star food: the food is both a good healthy option and very tasty. Kale salad with black rice, teriyaki chicken and pineapple habanero sauce is my favorite combo. 5 star ambiance: they've done an amazing job with a location in a shopping plaza next to a busy highway. Inside is sleek clean and functional. There's even outdoor seating.

    Great visit- nice staff- good food- it's a regular stop for us now! Enjoy everything on the menu........

    Large bowl! If you want veggies this is the place!
    Nicole M.

    I loved the bolay in Tampa so when visiting my SIL we stopped here for a quick lunch. This bolay had far more veggie options all were delicious. I always recommend the mushrooms and sweet potato noodles! You literally cannot go wrong. The service was fast despite the long line and the staff were super helpful and friendly. This bolay was super clean and bright despite it being gloomy outside. Definitely will regularly pick up food here when I'm in town

    Sherry W.

    Always good service and food when I visit. I signup with their app and get savings. Free bowl for the birthday! Today I got beans and spinach base, Brussels sprouts, chicken, cilantro, & pickled onions. The restaurant is always clean. You go through an assembly line for your bowl to be made. There is parking in the attached lot.

    I had never been to Bolay, but I love Fresh Kitchen and knew these were cousins as far as restaurants go, so I was excited to try, though skeptical that it would surpass my fave! I loved the amounts of options they had that were different from FK, from beans to black rice to pickled onions! I got all three of the aforementioned ingredients, as well as broccoli, two types of chicken, and the creamy garlic sauce. It was all so delicious, though I have to admit the creamy garlic sauce didn't QUITE stand up to FK's! I was also wildly impressed with how clean the restaurant lobby and bathrooms were. It was such an inviting space because I didn't feel like I was sitting at the same table 100 other people had sat at that day. Overall, I was very impressed with my first Bolay experience and hope to come back very soon!

    Rice, noodles, teriyaki chicken, sweet potatoes, marinated tomatoes, pickled onion, cilantro, and broccoli! Delicious!
    Kim R.

    Delicious food! I'm a first timer here and wasn't sure what to expect, but an employee by the name of Shan let us taste some things and guided us to create the perfect personalized bowl. I'll definitely return! Good healthy fresh food! Great team member in Shan. She gets 5 stars along with the food! My 90 year old Mother loved it too!

The staff's vibe is so cool that they should offer Helly Hansen wear to ward off the frostbite. Reservations? Apparently on a Thursday off season are still are a must. The bar, the walk-ins' purgatory, is quite full. You are rather curtly directed there. When you are able to land a seat? You are greeted with pleasant diffidence, by the Asian bartender. Menus? You ask. He points to a cold COVIDesque QR code. There is nothing inviting about a menu on my phone. It's like dine in Uber Eats. We ordered drinks. I ordered a Tomcat Gin old fashioned because I know the gin and I've made them before. Good drink. The one with the strawberry hazelnut etc was just not good. It lacks contrast and depth. Too sweet. Too nutty. The bartender is working right in front of us. My daughter isn't drinking it. Does he ask if our drinks are okay? No. Drink dropped. Rang in. Next thing. I do get him to take our order. The one bit of semi-human contact. We ordered a broccoli rabe pizza. It's a small bar. I wanted hi to fix or replace my daughter's largely unconsumed cocktail. He was so adept at walling off the we, the uninteresting, that even I longed for the despised Ronald Reagan to call for him to "tear down that wall." The runner dropped our pizza. It came in reasonable time. The crust was excellent. The only highlight of the meal. The pizza itself was duller than a Brewers-Marlins game. An ocean of a slimy greasy cheese that was so bland it dragged the whole thing into the same monotony that the drink had. Very little rabe. Even less sausage. No real contrast, texture or flavor. Maybe lobotomic cuisine is the latest hipster trend? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We ate. No check in from the bartender. I actually wanted another drink with dinner. That apparently was not to be, for my enjoyment, his tip, and the restaurant's bottom line. He got around to asking, as he was cleaning up vacated counter seats, if we wanted another drink in that tone that mecánicas servers get when they ask if you want dessert and you're the last table in the restaurant. I told him that I would have loved one earlier if he had asked when we got our food. No apology. I've seen tree sloths more emotional. He was delighted to slap-shake with one of the beautiful people regulars next to us, on their way out. Icing on this ice castle. There's a little bit of parking at the restaurant, and a paid public lot across the street, if disdain and distant service are your fetish. Not that anyone in this kind of setup cares. I won't be back.

Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the portion size was generous and filling, easily enough for two meals. Jaime also offered a dessert and a beverage, which I greatly appreciated and enjoyed. While mistakes can happen anywhere, I was impressed by how quickly and professionally the team addressed the issue.

The person at the counter was super friendly, patient, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We ordered the Mr. Eats 305 bagel, and wow--it did not disappoint! It came open-faced with sliced nova, plain cream cheese (not overly heavy), cucumber, hollandaise, crispy onions, scallions, and a drizzle of hot honey. The flavors were perfectly balanced and unique. They also offer homemade schmears, which is always a plus. We chose to go with the asiago bagels, which were soft, fresh, and honestly took me right back to NYC. We also had a classic bacon, egg, and cheese, and that was just as satisfying. Prices are a bit on the higher side, with bagels ranging anywhere between $14-$18, but the quality and flavors make it worth it. They do offer other menu items if bagels aren't your thing, but honestly, the bagels are the star of the show. You can also create your own. This place is totally worth the drive. Although they have three other locations.
