I recently had the best experience I've ever had in a Bolay, at this location. this Bolay is right off of i75 West Pines blvd exit and is located in a busy shopping center with a gym, other restaurants and businesses and a Whole Foods, but we were still able to find parking pretty quickly for a Friday afternoon. I hadn't been to this location in a few years, but it seems like the staff is all different than what I remembered. We were immediately greeted when we walked into the restaurant. We tried some of the newer menu items as we ordered our food, and if there was not much of an ingredient or if it had run out, it was quickly replaced by a fresh serving from the kitchen. One of the managers was working in the service line and he also walked around afterward to check in on the guests who were seated inside and outside of the restaurant. One of the employees checked on a table and even offered to refill the drink of a customer who was seated at the high top table with some friends. Of course the food was also delicious as everything was very freshly made. The restaurant was also very clean and it truly felt like the best neighborhood lunch spot. Everything I experienced on this visit to Bolay was a 10/10, I highly recommend this location and will definitely be back. read more

I love coming to Bolay. They have great healthy options to choose from. The service is great, the restaurant is always nice and clean. It's also easy order through the app and they have a section that makes it simple to pick up your in order in the restaurant! read more

Bolay is a "healthy Chipotle" counter service bowl concept that I desperately wish I had more access to in the Orlando area. It's a beautiful thing to assemble a bowl with your preferences of bases (go for sweet potato noodles), vegetables (the Brussels are excellent), proteins, and sauces for a light but filling meal. The team at this location was very friendly and helpful with a casual, laid-back attitude. Easy parking right outside the building. Overall, a very easy and tasty go-to restaurant! read more

Great food, I love the salmon and lemon chicken. I'm their kale salad is amazing. The staff is so friendly which is a bonus when it comes to the quick food service restaurants these days. I think the restaurant could be a bit cleaner because the tables are sometimes dirty when we dine in and that's a pet peeve of mine. Overall it is a great place to grab a healthier meal. read more

Food was good and ready for pick up when I got there, but this is the second time we were shorted on the sauces. We only got 3 of the 6 we asked for and even those were only half filled. I'll obviously have to check from now on, but I'll forgive you because you finally brought back the Brussel sprouts. read more

This location is great! After bad experiences at the Bolay in Coral Springs and Fort Lauderdale, I had stopped eating at Bolay altogether. However, I was in the area and decided to give this location a try, and I'm glad I did. I ordered online for pickup, and when I arrived, the person at the register was so nice and made me feel welcome right away! Everything was made perfectly and tasted delicious. I will definitely come back here for sure! They also added a nice touch by writing something nice on the containers, which I loved! read more

Service was good mostly the tables were busy so I did wipe off my own table and food today was not as hot as it usually is, but the food was still not hot. Great ambience they had music playing in. The background was awesome. The employees are the worst for service they couldn't care if customers walk through there door. They talk too you like you are a burden to them . Second strike third strike, you'll be out . What does that mean? It means they lose my business. read more

First time at this place. I wasn't sure how good this place would be but my friend recommended it. The place is your typical casual dine-in. There was plenty of seating. The guy who helped us was nice. Apparently, you can sample taste one of the protein add-ons. I sampled the mushroom and ended up getting it. I got the make your own bowl. I got the below: 2 bases: pesto noodles (these are cold) & spinach/almond 1 protein: tofu 1 veggie: mushrooms 1 topping: pickled red onions 1 sauce: Herb cilantro dressing Surprisingly, it was really good! Every single item I got was delicious! The pesto noodles were good but I don't think it went well as a base with all my add-ons. I definitely would come back here again. read more

Bolay for the win! Parking: depends on the time. I'm always there for lunch and it is difficult. It is in a strip mall. Service: generally I do lunch pick ups by ordering online and if is efficient and always correct. Food: delicious and healthy!! They have many protein options - chicken, steak, salmon, tofu, etc. with a wide selection of sauces. This is one of the few places that sells the healthiest rice - black rice! Atmosphere - this is a quick service restaurant so it is very casual. The vibe at lunch is largely professional folks from nearby employers and those working from home. For a healthy, quick fix - this is your spot. Think Chipotle, but even healthier! read more

Bolay kitchen - Large Bowl with Chicken, sweet potato noodles, kale, power beans, and avocado. - New American Near Me - Pembroke Pines, Florida

Bolay is a local, fast-casual chain offering build-your-own bowls, and one of few that actually offer nutrition information if you look for it online. This location is in a busy strip mall just off I-95 in west Pembroke Pines. I went to Bolay by myself for a quick weekday lunch in the mid-afternoon on a Friday just after New Year's. The price seemed standard for health-focused fast casual bowl chain restaurants in the area. The interior of the restaurant was light, bright, and clean with indoor and outdoor seating. It was not crowded when I went, which was off peak time, but there were still multiple customers dining in. The noise level was moderate. Similar fast casual chains sometimes have dirty tables, but the tables in this Bolay were clean when I visited. The worker at the counter was friendly to all entering customers, guiding them through the restaurant concept and menu choices. Service was quick; I especially appreciated the worker asking what specific pieces of chicken thigh I wanted, as similar establishments don't typically allow you to pick like that. Bolay's menu is standard across all establishments, and offers a fair amount of variety and unique flavor profiles without overwhelming the customer with choices. The food quality seemed decent; I especially liked the chicken thighs. Because the bowls are craft-your-own, sometimes the flavor profiles of the ingredients don't mesh together very well. I felt like the ingredients I chose - black rice, beans, sweet potato, and chicken thigh with chipotle sauce - individually tasted good, but didn't necessarily mesh well together. This is probably my own error; if I go again, I will probably try one of Bolay's bowl suggestions. read more

Superb customer service and management all the time. Quick and convenient. I visit this location often and never have a negative experience.

As someone from California who has eaten at many restaurants with this concept---I was sadly disappointed. And not with the flavors. And not with the service. I am sorry, but with four people on shift in the afternoon, during hours where it was not busy--- the cleanliness of this restaurant nearly made me walk out. It appeared as though no one had the sense enough to wipe down the display top that the food is kept on. Morsels of food everywhere on the display. Empty, dried up food pans left out. Server having to swat away the flies so I might want to choose the chicken on display. My God. For such a modern and brightly designed eatery, I was shocked at the lack of care and attention geared towards food handling and infection control. Additionally, why are the cherry tomatoes so much money? For a spoonful of halved tomatoes, almost a dollar! And the protien upcharges too! This was a tasty meal but I didn't feel the experience and the pricing warrants another visit. read more

Another Bolay another yummy bowl! However this bowl I was picking up was for my mom. It's located in a newer large plaza right off & west of I75. Sufficient parking for Bolay & the plaza. This Bolay has the same similar décor to the others. It's bright, clean and utensil/napkin, etc. area well stocked. Service was polite & efficient. What I ordered for mom, a large bowl with sweet potato noodles, forbidden rice, mushrooms, potatoes, teriyaki chicken & shrimp. Food was fresh and yummy according to mom. And I have to say it sure looked it. read more

Bolay is a Wellington based franchise founded by Chris and his father Tim Gannon. Tim cofounded Outback Steakhouse and is the South Florida franchisee for PDQ. The concept for Bolay was pitched to his father by Chris who noticed his friends wanted healthier quick food options. The first store opened in February of 2016. Now they have 13 locations in Florida, including Pembroke Pines, Boca Raton, Miami Lakes, and West Palm Beach. Bolay is a build your own bowl concept restaurant. You build a superfood bowl by layering a base, vegetables, protein, topping and sauce. A small bowl is around $10. First choose a base from items including gluten-free cilantro noodles, jasmine rice, Asian sweet potato noodles, and marinated kale. Vegetables selections feature ginger broccoli, roasted brussels sprouts, balsamic mushrooms, while proteins include chicken, pork, seafood and steak. Don't forget to sprinkle on some freshly chopped cilantro or parmesan cheese. Finally sauce it up with spicy Thai, creamy garlic & herb, cilantro pesto, and sriracha sauce. They also have tea, fresh pressed juice, cookies, and strawberry chia seed pudding. This Bolay is located in the Cobblestone Plaza in West Pembroke Pines near I-75.I stopped in to grab takeout for my lunch the next day. I wanted the rice but it wasn't ready. Instead I tried the sweet potato noodles for the first time and I really liked them. To the noodles I added roasted potatoes, broccoli, and lemon chicken. I love their sweet message on top of the bowl. For lunch today I had a healthy complete meal that powered me through my day. There are a lot of bowl concept restaurants but Bolay is my favorite. No matter how you make it, you are guaranteed a healthy and delicious meal. read more

Bolay kitchen - A piece of metal - New American Near Me - Pembroke Pines, Florida

Oh man...I really like Bolay but have been disappointed lately. I ate here twice in the past couple weeks and waited until the second time to give this review. This really is a healthy place to eat. It is all gluten free which does not effect me but I know a lot of people eat this way nowadays. Because of supply chain shortages, they do not have four items that I used to get. This includes their delicious steak, mushrooms, Brussel sprouts and sweet potato noodles. I even think there is another veggie missing but cannot remember. What is left behind are not my favorites. What I do enjoy here is the black forbidden rice, cilantro noodles, the shrimp is pretty good....and I like the avocado of course. I do not eat pork or tofu. I had tried their teriyaki and lemon chicken in the past and do not care for those. That left me to try a sample of the new BBQ chicken. I do not care for that either. I do not think of myself as a picky eater either, especially with chicken. I normally love chicken. I understand they are having supply issues. It is not their fault but I am just not a fan like I used to be. I will try back in a couple.months and hopefully things improve in terms of them BRINGING BACK THE STEAK PLEASE. :) I do love how they have a sink to wash your hands upon entry. All restaurants should do this. This restaurant is ALWAYS clean and staff is ALWAYS friendly. read more

Fantastic service with fresh, tasty, and healthy options that are always satisfying .Love it.

My first time eating here and I must say that my experience was unbelievable from beginning to end. They have the most friendliest employees that I have ever met each and every person that I had an interaction with was friendly, and attentive, and full of information for me with all the questions that I asked. At some establishments you get that one employee with a mood but here everyone was so friendly. The food was just has good. I had the large bowl cause y'all know I love to eat. I added the Thai shrimp to it and those pieces were huge which I must say you don't really see it anymore. The cilantro noodles were tasty. Pretty much everything was good. 5/5 read more

Just tried Bolay for the first time. Absolutely delicious. Probably one of the best lunches I have had in a while. I have Celiac Disease and cannot eat gluten. When I checked their website, prior to ordering, I was very happy to see that every dish on their menu is 100% gluten free. It made ordering less stressful and easy. From the Chef Bol I ordered to the chocolate chip cookie I ordered for a treat, everything was fresh and tasty. There is a Bolay location near my job and also one by my house. I will definitely be a returning customer as this place just became a favorite of mine with just one meal. read more

So difficult writing a review on a delivery BUT.... Twas another work from home day and we didn't meal prep the night before. I shuffled through the fridge and nothing "spoke" to me so I pulled up my trusty Yelp! doodad and gave a look. BBQ was calling me! Burgers! Tacos! But we're only 12 days into the new year so I figured I'd try to refrain from a food coma, especially with work to do. That's when I saw Bolay! I've always passed it because I like food that sticks to your ribs! With my resolution in my mind, I ordered the missus and myself a bowl; her a small and me a large. Apparently the names are subjective because even the small was a ton of food! Thanks to the trusty delivery drive (by the way, you all are rockstars during the Rona, too!) my food arrived looking nicely. Warm where it needed to be warm. Cold where it needed to be cold. And, well....I destroyed my large bowl! It was delicious! Wifey almost finished hers and she wanted to drink the sauce! I think it was a cilantro sauce. So, I'm satisfied but not food coma stuffed which is great! Everything was tasty! Utensils and...get this! Nice little messages on the bowls like, "you're awesome"! Well Bolay, YOU'RE awesome! Found a solid place to eat, that is also a bit healthier than a burger! read more

I prefer Bolay last night for the first time! My gluten free heart was so happy! I got the sweet potato noddles with broccoli, lemon chicken and potatoes! Everything was so tasty. I will say, I did not like the chicken. It had a lot of those gummy pieces as just didn't bit taste or feel like real chicken. I will be going for a meat free option next time. read more

Dined here recently to try and check out this new location in West Pembroke Pines. It was the first time checking out a Bolay and I wanted to see what the hype was about. This location was shiny and new since they just opened and the young staff was eager to work and had a smile on their face. Basically, for $8.29 (small) or $10.99 (large) you get the choice of a protein, base, vegetable, add on and sauce. The proteins are lemon chicken, bbq chicken, pork, shrimp, steak and tufu. My favorite was the steak and the shrimp. The shrimp was so tasty with a thai seasoning. I also loved the cilantro noodles, kale and Cajun sweet potatoes. I wasn't too fond of the sauces for some reason. I felt like the meal itself was flavorful and the sauces did not do much to the flavor. Overall, it depends on what you like and the combination you put in your bowl. Everything is fresh and pretty much a healthy meal. I saw cookies as the only dessert choice. Not sure I will go out of my way again to come to this location but I will for sure return to a Bolay if one opens up near me. read more

I literally hate giving this 2 star review... and it's because I absolutely LOVE Bolay. I was amped to try this new location. I'm going to chalk up my underwhelming experience to them working out the kinks. Some pieces of the black forbidden rice were so hard that it made that part of the dish inedible, it ruined the entire experience. I will say the mushrooms are fresh but lack flavor. The Brussel sprouts were perfect. The GF chocolate chip cookies were not as super soft as I'm used to. I'll come back this weekend to give it another test go... hopefully we can up this to a 4/5 star next time. read more

Sorry Bolay. This was my first time ever trying Bolay, and unfortunately, I did not like the food. At all. I sorted the Yelp reviews to see what the low ratings were about just to see if I can relate. One reviewer wrote: "The chicken... I am not sure if they changed the quality of the meat but the chicken was absolutely horrible. It tasted like chinese chicken, you know the one that you get in the sweet and sour chicken that is soft and mushy and almost doesnt taste like real chicken. It tasted like processed meat. Some parts were super fatty. It was grayish in color and also had a bit of an after taste and was absolutely disgusting" This is exactly how I felt about the chicken. I ordered lemon chicken and bbq chicken. It was so disgusting. I couldn't not finish eating it. Had to give it away. It had a very weird consistency. Fatty. Translucent in color... and not chickeny. The jasmine rice had an off taste to it. I tasted it by itself without dipping it in any of the sauce to see what it really tasted like and it just didn't taste good. Like tap water and super bland. Mushrooms didn't taste like anything balsamic. The restaurant is very clean though. It is inviting. Another good thing is the carrot ginger sauce and the cilantro pesto sauce. Those were very good and full of flavor. I went during lunch hour and the place was full. Staff was very friendly! I will not be returning though. Sorry Bolay. read more

Insanely amazing staff here that is only topped by the amazing food! This is a new Bolay opening up, staying with the health food trend! It's basically a healthy chipotle with amazing foods! They have chicken, steak, shrimp, and tofu, those are some of the many proteins they have here to choose from! You can choose between a small bol (how it's spelled here!) which is 2 bases, 2 proteins and 2 veggies, a small bol which is one base two veggies and one protein or a kids bol. They have multiple bases, such as spinach, kale, jasmine rice, quinoa, and cilantro noodles! For veggies, they have balsamic mushrooms, ginger broccoli, sweet potatoes and Brussel sprouts! The food is incredible with the seasonings being perfect and cooked perfect as well! I chose the Thai shrimp and the spices of the shrimp were amazing! The shrimp was also perfect sized, not being small at all! The staff here is incredible and the service is insanely fast, definitely will be coming back here some time soon again! read more

I attended both the soft opening yesterday and the grand opening today and it was a great event! For their soft opening, you get a small bol when you check in through Facebook or post a story on your instagram. Today's grand opening was such a great turn out. The event started at 11 am, but customers were already lined up outside the door early in the morning. The first 100 customers was able to get a $50 gift card with a purchase of $8.29. Luckily when I arrived at 10 am I was number 78 out of the 100 and able to snag a gift card. The staff were amazing and friendly. They were passing out samples like cookies, chicken, and vegetables. There was also music and raffles. Bolay offers two different sizes of bols. The small bol consist of one base, two veggies, one protein, one add on, and sauce. The large bol consists of two bases, two veggies, two protein, one add on, and sauce. They also have a kids size available. My ultimate favorite order from bolay is orange basil quinoa, forbidden black rice, balsamic mushrooms, brusell sprouts, steak au jus, parmesan cheese, and cilantro pesto. Also, you can't leave without a cookie! read more

This was my first visit to Bolay and I liked it. They are a healthier/lighter version of Chipotle (my opinion). You basically create your own bowl. They have good healthy options. Kale, rice, cilantro noodles, etc. as your base. They have several toppings to choose from like beans, Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, cheese, avocado, etc. They have 3 house sauces to choose from as well. The price is decent. About $8-$11 depending on the size & topping choices. It's a nice place to stay and eat. Clean restaurant and very friendly staff. Plenty of parking in the parking lot. Conveniently located on Pines, just west of I-75. A must try. read more
