    The quality has gone from a 10 to zero. Bolay is nothing like it used to be. They dont even deserve one star I stopped ordering months ago because the food was already going downhill, but I needed something quick and gave it another chance. Huge mistake. The lemon chicken was drowned in seasoning and looked undercooked, borderline raw, it literally made me gag. I couldn't eat it. Unacceptable quality. I'll never be eating here again.

    It was my first time visiting a Bolay and I really enjoyed it. I came at lunch time with Ronnald M. We both chose the large bowl. The chicken was delicious and all toppings were really good and didn't need dressing however both pesto as turmeric dressing were so good!! I also got a fountain drink to try their lemonades. Really liked it and wish there was one close to me

    Make your own bowl to go.

    The style is counter service, where friendly staff begin to craft your bowl. Food is served promptly. I ordered mine to go and everything was tasty, well plated and at a good price. The ambiance at Bolay is clean, casual, very pleasant. It's all about healthy, convenient food at fair prices.

    I always love coming to Bolay for a quick healthy meal. Their pesto noodles are my absolute favorite and the cilantro lime sauce is so good. If you're looking for something quick & nutritious, Bolay is a great option!

    I was doing my early Christmas shopping, my belly was empty and I was needing food ASAP. It has been a long time since I stopped into Bolay so I made a quick stop in. It was already 2p so the lunch crowd was done with so I was with four other folks in the place. I went with the cilantro noodles, corn and broccoli and my protein was the steak which is an added price. I also got a fountain drink for a lunch totalling $18. The veggies were all seasoned wonderfully, the steak was not dry and they provided me a good scope of it. The price was worthwhile because everything yummy and fresh. I got my daily portion of veggies and meat well served in a good sized bowl. When you walk in, they welcome you in from the serving area which is nice.

    Take out, created my own bowl

    Quick, friendly delicious service! The bowl was full of fresh ingredients spinach, tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, creamy dressing, rice, steak, tomatoes and red onions. Love that everything is safe for gluten allergies like mine also!

    The Rundown: a typical Bolay experience, matching the great flavors and positive team encounters you've likely come to expect. The Review: I did not realize there was a Bolay off Aloma until I was looking to use my birthday coupon. The location is tucked into a nice plaza and fits that Bolay vibe those who are familiar have come to expect. For those unfamiliar, think of it as Chipotle but with bowls. You pick your base, your protein, and add in/sauce and.. That's it. But the options are quite varied and flavorful. All items I understand are gluten free as well. They also feature agua fresca on "fountain" and they are always fantastic! In short, if you're looking for something fast, filling, which gives you the feeling of eating well (health element is up to your interpretation), you'll likely be satisfied with Bolay.

    This is a must try! I'm not big on salads so I was pleased with the multitude of options they provide. Everything was very flavorful, I barely needed the dressing. This place is nice and clean. Wouldn't mind coming by for a work lunch meeting or lunch date. Will definitely be back soon!

    My daughter loves Bolay - the pesto noodles and the steak are her favorite. For me, I struggle with their service. I wanted to try their RainBol and asked if I could split the jasmine rice base into half rice, half kale salad. The answer came back no as it's only one base for that price. Okay. I get it. Next, I clarify the chimichurri sauce doesn't have cilantro. (Cilantro is my kryptonite). The line gal doesn't know - so she asks a line cook. Line cook 1 is gabbing with line cook 2 - they have to be actively interrupted. Yes, the tomatoes have the devils parsley - cilantro. So I can't eat that and ask for a substitute. I'm told I can only choose from toppings bar: cheese, fresh cilantro, pepperoncini's or sauces. In other words my bowl would be rice, chicken and onions - no veggies. I ask for broccoli or mushrooms. No, not an option I'm told again. That was not going to work for me. So I said no thank you. I will not purchase the bowl. THEN she says - staring at the bowl she can't sell now - I can add a veggie and she can just up charge me. Nah. I'm good. Got a sour taste in my mouth now. I go down to Tijuana flats and order a chicken bowl to my specifications. No issues with ordering.

    I was craving a clean healthy bowl, and decided to give Bolay a try. First thing that i noticed is the clean establishment, nicely decorated and quiet. There was not really a line, so we ordered right away. We were taking the food to go, we were in and out in about 5 minutes. now for the food, although i really wanted to like it, it was not flavorful at all. The rice had no seasoning, the lemon chicken did not have a citric taste. i'm not one to add sauces to my bowls, but i had to add it to this bowl, the creamy garlic and herb sauce was really good. with that being said, it did feel very clean and healthy without the unnecessary added calories of multiple dressings and different sauces on the individual foods. I give it a 6.6/10.

    Bowl to-go

    I visited Bolay because of all the chatter saying they are the best build your own bowl restaurant... I got to agree! I like that you can order from pre-made options or create your own. You can do a 4 option bowl or 6 option. A variety of bases, veggies, and proteins. A great perk is the free toppings at the end which I always go for the pickled onions. The price is pretty reasonable ranging $10-$15 on average. I get 2 meals out of the 6 bowl. There are other options besides just bowls - I seen many inside eating wraps. The inside of this location was super clean and the staff greeted you with a smile which makes all the difference. I ordered to-go via the Bolay app and it was really easy and my order was ready on time when I picked it up.

Made a reservation for 7 p.m. Arrived a bit early and had to kill some time at the bar, as they were only seating on-time. I ordered an espresso martini, which looked more like a shot than a cocktail. It wasn't great. Not the right consistency. Weak color. Once seated at our table, my party of 3 ordered 2 apps. We all agreed the Ceviche was the most bland we have ever tasted. Served sans lime wedges, which might have helped, but not much. The Crush Puppies were also meh. Rather small portion that appeared to be fried a bit too long. The other cocktail I ordered from their bar menu (grilled cheese and pickle one) was again miniature-looking. Our entrées were a step up from our apps, at least. I was very disappointed that my top pick, the Cioppino, had just sold out. Guess that was a popular dish on Mother's Day. My daughter's Truffle Bucatini had a satisfying flavor. Service was fine. The hostess, however, wasn't all that friendly or helpful. The interior is nicely styled and has an upscale feel with verdant plants tucked here and there. The central bar has an enticing vibe. Overall though, it was an expensive outing that failed to impress us.

The steak frites are just as magnificent as my boyfriend and I remembered. Have you ever had a food memory? Years ago, my dad made the best steak I've ever had. He passed away when I was a kid, and two summers ago, when I took my first bite of the steak here, my mouth watered... but so did my eyes. It was one of the strangest, most beautiful experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. For a moment, it felt like Dad was sitting at the table with us. To taste something so familiar, something I hadn't experienced in over twenty years, was surreal. That's not a compliment I hand out lightly. So we each had that For this visit, we started with the rock shrimp tacos, and they absolutely did not disappoint. They packed a nice little kick without overwhelming the dish, and we practically inhaled them. Of course, we had to finish the meal the same way we did last time: with churros. Somehow they were even better than we remembered. Crispy, warm, perfectly sweet, exactly the kind of dessert that makes you argue over who gets the last bite. My boyfriend ordered two Old Fashioneds, and I had two Cosmos. Both were delicious and definitely generous on the pour. I was a little concerned when we arrived for our 8:00 p.m. reservation because the place was PACKED for a Thursday night. We ended up waiting a bit past our reservation time. The hostess suggested we grab a drink at the bar, but that area was just as crowded, so we hung out in the lobby instead. The wait ended up being completely worth it because we were seated at the exact table I was secretly hoping for: the most perfect little corner window booth, straight out of a movie scene. It was the ideal setting for our last night of vacation. And then there was our server, Anton. Anton could teach a master class on waiting tables. He was efficient, funny, attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without being pretentious, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what he was doing. In a world where great service sometimes feels like a lost art, Anton was an absolute delight. The Ravenous Pig delivered once again: phenomenal food, excellent cocktails, memorable service, and one of those meals you'll still be talking about long after you've gone home.

The cauliflower appetizer missed the mark a bit for me, the pieces were a little too big and came out slightly undercooked.

I love that they have a quicker option out back with the beer garden, you can't go wrong!
