Bolay is a staple resto for me. I love how healthy and yummy the food is. My favorites are the tofu, sweet potatoes, asian noodles and pesto noodles. The sauces and drinks are great too. The service is quick and the place is clean and airy. Definitely recommend this place!

Food first, thoughts after... This was my first time having Bolay but will definitely not be the last. I ordered online and went to pick it up. The options were amazing and the taste is great. I think about it often and I cannot wait for my next Bolay experience. Spacious dining with seating indoor and outdoor.

My first time at Bolay, had heard very good things about it but never had a chance. I've been to chipotle and Moe's before but I definitely like this place better. The food tastes fresher and healthier choices. The staff are very nice and they even give you scratch offs to play and i actually got a free chia seed pudding. I will definitely is it this place very often and recommend it I created my own bowl with Jasmine rice, teriyaki chicken and bean medley and didn't disappoint. My wife tried the pesto noodles and chicken also great!!

First time trying Bolay after passing by it many times when in the lake Nona area. I placed a mobile order which was easy. Parking is a bit of a hassle but thankfully the shopping center wasn't too busy so found parking. Inside it's spacious and decor is cute. Staff is friendly and greet you as you come in. Now to the food... I created my own bowl so I went with pesto noodles, spinach and almond salad, lemon chicken, pickled onions, feta cheese, chimichurri tomatoes, and garlic and herb sauce and it was delicious! Everything was flavorful and fresh. The portion was good and fulfilling. To drink I had Mandarin Cardamom Fresca and it was refreshing and not too sweet! Really enjoyed it and already wanting to go back to try other menu items.

Healthy options. Come in for an early dinner. Ordered the Ala carte- My favorite base is the sweet potato noodles and kale. Serving portion for the noodles and kale looked the same. But the noodles were barely there. The broccoli was not charred enough, and the lacked taste. The chicken was tasty and the steak was cooked right. Overall, it was a good meal and healthy too. The price has gone up, which was 21$ got a large portion.

Custom bowl

The staff were nice and the interior is mostly pretty clean. In terms of the food, I got a customized bowl with teriyaki chicken and steak. The teriyaki chicken had a nice flavor to it, but the steak was too chewy for me. The sauces were a great addition to the bowl and they pour a healthy amount of it. I got the large bowl and it was very filling and good for its price. I will say that all the veggies are chopped a bit big so heads up if that's off putting for you. Overall, nice place for a chain restaurant

The Rundown: it's Bolay. Think Chipotle but healthy bowls (with flavors even those who turn noses at healthy will enjoy). The Review: This location certainly lives up to the Bolay expectation. Fast and friendly service, lots of flavorful options, and reasonable pricing. Sweet potato noodles and teriyaki chicken are still among my favorite choices! It's a comfortable environment to eat, and they also offer free Wi-Fi. It was not very busy when I was there but many of the tables needed to be wiped so that is an area of improvement - but it happens and fortunately wasn't something I found to be uncomfortable. Side note - I still think it's weird that Bolay doesn't seem to have trash stations with holes large enough where the paper bowls can fit instead of needing to crunch them up to fit in the hole.

So delicious and refreshing!!

Very flavorful and healthy bowl! Great portions as well! Nice place to visit for a healthy meal

I ordered through Postmates, so I'm not sure on the service or ambiance, but the food was great. Nice, lighter style meal, good portion, and not too expensive. Plus, there's usually good deals when ordering on DoorDash or Postmates!

Went to canvas the first time with my wife and kids. Nice…read morelocation we had a great table overlooking the lake. We didn't have reservations but I only took about 20 minutes for us to get seated. Our server was great and food and drinks came out in a timely manner. We ordered a pizza, some tacos, a chicken entree and one of the specials. We started off with the artichoke dip. Portion sizes were good and the food came out hot. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because all of the food was slightly under seasoned and didn't have much personality flavor wise. Overall we had a great time it's a nice location the service was great the food was cooked well and hot and the drinks were good. Just flavor and seasoning wise about a 6 out of 10

It was quite full and a little noisy but as the meal went on it started clearing out. We ordered a few drinks and an appetizer for tonight's meal. The Chili Nachos were way better than expected. The nachos were piled high and the flavor of the chili was phenomenal. The nachos were so filling that's all we ate for dinner and we still had a good amount left over. The Watermelon Ranch Water was a nice refreshing lite drink, perfect for summer. I had to get a Nona Sunset because it's my fav drink every time I go to Canvas. Food and drinks were great, the only negative was that the server took longer to check on us, so we had to wait quite a bit in between when ordering each item.

Figured my chances were slim, but Tonya (or perhaps Tonia) the manager ensured that my dining dreams came true. She was very helpful, fitting us in at 8:30. The door to enter the restaurant isn't prominently labeled, so I always second guess if I have the right way. It's a classy feel inside with lighting that sets the mood, as well as cohesive fixtures and accents. Tablet menus? Yes. That's a thing here. Our server did a great job taking care of us. All our needs were met with finesse. As for the food, so delicious! I would normally go for the Lobster Mac & Cheese, which is to die for, but I like to switch things up. The Mahi Mahi Sandwich didn't disappoint. The regular mac & cheese that I had for my side is some of the best around town. The cocktails are flawless. My Mint Julep and Manhattan were perfectly crafted and 100% satisfying. This place is consistent and will not let you down. Looking forward to my next visit.

For the food, the best item on the bbq chicken platter was the creamed corn. There was a perfect crunch on top and the cream paired very well with the sweet corn. I believe it had jalapeños in it but there barely was any spice. The bbq chicken tasted just like you would imagine it and the fries weren't anything special. My girlfriend really enjoyed the lobster mac & cheese. Just like the creamed corn, my girlfriend complimented the crunch on top of the entree. We both liked the spinach dip and the chips were lightly seasoned well too. For the drinks, we got the baby blue cosmo and the espresso martini. The martini was good and the cosmo was pretty strong for it being a restaurant.

After a flight from NYC that decided to take its sweet time, I landed in Lake Nona ready to eat the…read moreupholstery. Instead, I found salvation at Lake Nona's Miller's Ale House, my sister's favorite place to eat. The Flight-Delay Forgiveness Tour: Miller's Ale House Edition After my flight from New York decided to linger in the clouds long enough for me to consider the nutritional value of the airplane's headrest covers, and I touched down in Lake Nona with a hunger so ravenous that I was ready to seize the first edible object I saw. My sister's suggestion and my hunger led us here. I sought penance for my travel delays in the form of the Brunch Burger. This was no mere sandwich; it was a half-pound premium beef patty crowned with a majestic fried egg, peppered bacon, and a creamy red chili sauce that acted as a peace treaty for my grumbling stomach. It was so juicy and well-executed that with every bite, it practically whispered a formal apology for every minute I spent on the tarmac. My sister, meanwhile, opted for the English Pub Fish & Chips. The white fish was beer-battered to such a flaky, golden perfection that it almost attempted to swim right off the plate and back to the Atlantic. But let's discuss the real MVP: the seasoned fries. These were the antithesis of the 'double-dropped' or over-fried tragedies found elsewhere; they were crunchy, precision-seasoned, and undeniably fresh. We didn't leave a single stub behind. In fact, had there been a lone crumb remaining, we might have engaged in a territorial dispute over it like a pair of frantic seagulls at the pier. Miller's didn't just provide a meal; they provided a 'salvation' from a stressful day of travel. If you're looking for a place where the food is as bold as the energy in the room, this is your front-row seat. I didn't try it this time, but if you love sweets like me, you should definitely try the Captain Jack's Buried Treasure cake--You won't regret it. Psst, just so you know: it's definitely a treat to share.

While Lake Nona offers several options, you and your BFF have found your sanctuary at First Watch at Lake Nona, a spot so popular that it seems to perpetually have a line out the door. The Mid-Day Breakfast Heist: "My BFF and I were on a mission. It was mid-day, the sun was high, and our stomachs were demanding breakfast with the kind of urgency usually reserved for emergency sirens. We needed two things: fresh, piping hot coffee and a meal that didn't involve a 20-minute wait in the Florida humidity. This place is so legendary in Lake Nona that there's almost always a crowd. Fate, however, was on our side. While the 'wait for a table' list was already hitting that dreaded 20-minute mark, we spotted the holy grail of hungry diners: the bar-height tables. We bypassed the queue, claimed our high-altitude seats, and got straight to business. First, the coffee. It wasn't just a beverage; it was a sure-fire 'wake-up and get-running' miracle in a mug. First Watch's signature Project Sunrise coffee, sourced from women-led farms in Huila, Colombia, was the true co-star of the show--rich, bold, and served by the potful. It perfectly prepared us for the main event: The Farmhouse Hash. This skillet is a masterclass in savory breakfast--a bed of seasoned potatoes, bacon, avocado, house-roasted onions, and tomatoes, all under a blanket of melted Cheddar and Monterey Jack. In a display of culinary individuality, we ordered it in two different styles. My BFF opted for hers as a fluffy omelet, while I--knowing exactly what I like--requested my eggs cooked well-done. The result? A fresh, savory masterpiece that satisfied every mid-day craving we had. And let's keep this between us--shhh--but this place easily takes the crown over Keke's. Whether it's the more upscale, modern vibe or the fact that the food never misses, it's our undisputed go-to. Just don't tell the rest of Orlando, or we'll never get those bar seats again.
