Overview: 4/5 First time trying this franchise. I had heard good things about it. I was looking for a "healthier" fast food option. Ambiance : 4/5 Clean, retro atmosphere with plenty of seating for small and large parties. Food/Drink 3/5 I got the Speciality Salmon bowl. It came with a decent size piece of salmon, cauliflower rice. Brussels sprouts and spinach. The dish came with a habanero dressing that was good. Overall I just didn't care for it all being mixed together in a bowl. The rice made the spinach soggy and the Brussels were a bit overdone. I got a canned mixed Berry healthy drink that was too sweet and tasted like chemicals. Service : 5/5 It was cafeteria style so the bar was not high for service. Conclusion : I "may" try it again just to be fair and see if I just don't care for a mixed bowl concept. read more

Full disclosure: I had food poisoning from a Bolay years ago so I was hesitant to try again. However, this was the best bowl I've had in years. The ingredients were super fresh, flavorful, and for the price, a large amount of food! I highly recommend the mojo pulled pork! It's the best meat on any build your own bowl place I've ever had! read more

I love this place. You pick two proteins, veggies, and base. They have showed up to many events I have attended and always wanted to come and eat here. I'm glad I did. My dish was Jasmine rice, forbidden rice, Steak au Jus, Spicy Thai shrimps, power beans, herb roasted potato. I was looking for a place for a bit healthier eating and I found it here. While I know this place is similar to Fresh Kitchen, I loved it more for the forbidden rice. Don't get scared of black rice. It was definitely worth the order and would recommend it as one of your base. read more

Man, did Bolay make a great first impression! We were greeted and welcomed at the door with a smile by the friendly staff as we made our way in to order. The set up is similar to Chipotle where you order as you go, informing the staff of what ingredients you would like in your "bol". You can either get a small bol ($8.29), large bol ($10.99), or kids bol (4.99). A large bol allows for 2 bases and proteins as opposed to the 1 in the small. They have some chef selected bols you can choose from, or you can build your own. The bases include items such as forbidden black rice, kale yeah salad, and Jasmine rice. Some of the veggie choices include herb roasted potatoes and balsamic mushrooms. Please note that the veggies are seasonal and subject to change. I was super disappointed to find out there were no brussel sprouts, but I survived and managed to make it through the rest of my order. I ended up getting a large bol with hot Asian sweet potato noodles and orange basil quinoa as the base, smoky cauliflower and ginger broccoli, with lemon chicken and miso glazed tofu, topped with minted tomatoes and fresh cilantro. Then I sauced it up with the cilantro pesto sauce. All I can say is yum, yum, yum! Talk about a filling and healthful meal! And what's a healthy meal without a piece of sweet?? Trust me, the cookie is so worth it! And they are gluten-free for my GF peeps. No doubt Bolay will be seeing me again! read more

Fast, efficient and delicious. Glad to have more options than fried chicken, pizza and burgers!

I regularly grab a large bowl from this place! Not once have I been disappointed, or had any complaints. The pesto noodles are delicious, the steak , chicken are well worth it for the protein! You never have to wait too long to receive your food here. If you haven't been - check it out!! read more

Great food and prices are super reasonable! The variation of their food is quite AMAZING!!! Come and check out yourself! Their garlic noodles are suppose to be cold, I always ask nicely if they can warm it u for me and they are always so kind and accommodating!! This place looks sooo inviting!!!! read more

So good! I wish they would open one up my me! We decided to come here for a quick bite to eat. There was plenty to choose from and the staff was so friendly and helpful. They allowed us to try items we've never tasted before! I fell in love with the sweet potato noodles and ordered that, with ginger broccoli, teriyaki chicken, and sweet chili brussel sprouts topped with my favorite pickled red onions. This dish was so filling! The location was super clean! Healthy food, easy ordering, and helpful staff- I totally recommend coming here!! read more

Super quick, always tasty. They've never gotten my order wrong and are always helpful!

Omg! This place is so good. I'm gluten free but haven't been able to have a wrap in ages! I got the lemon kale wrap and my mom got the teriyaki chicken wrap. They are so filling and flavorful. I also love that they have so many elements, like bags and straws, that are either compostable or biodegradable which I absolutely love. I want one where I live in Pensacola. read more

Bolay - Lemon kale wrap - New American Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

Atmosphere: Very trendy spot. Casual but kind of young millennial style. Pretty strange because I always look for diversity, and this area had some diversity. Not so much in the restaurant but in the area. Seems like people with money that are well off in this area. The music over head was a bit too loud but soft enough for conversation. Food: Outstanding. Not sure how healthy it is, guessing there is a fair amount of sugar in the sauces but you could eat Whole 30 here is you tried. Service: Great! The woman at the beginning of the line was very friendly and willing to make recommendations if asked. Overall: Like it here. Fun to eat and people watch. If you work at it, you could get a healthy meal here. read more

Everything is soo good and healthy. This place is the bomb. It's in the old Whole Foods plaza. Currently, The Sprout grocery store plaza. Lemon chicken was little dried out. Teriyaki chicken is better than lemon chicken, hands down! Steak was perfect medium to low end of medium well. I added a Half Avocado and whole bunch of add ons. Steak and shrimp is extra 2 dollars. All the sauces are amazing. Overall, I definitely recommend for a quick healthy eats or not depending on the add ons. read more

So easy to order on app. The order is always exactly right, and always so fresh .the ingredient selection is varied and delicious. read more

Five stars for Bolay leaving me wanting more! Upon arrival I immediately noticed the vibrant color scheme. Studies do show that this plays an affect on mood and desirability. And yes, I am indeed speaking of food lol. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. The staff members of this store are patient and quite helpful, especially for those who are new to the Bol/Bolay experience. I very much enjoyed the lemon chicken, shrimp, sweet potato noodles, cauliflower, and the potatoes. There is so much flavor and seasoning, it's amazing! Also, the gluten free chocolate chip cookie was incredibly delicious! I cannot recall the last time I had a tasty gluten free dessert. Sooo during one of my many visits, I ordered a second Bol for to go (lol don't any of y'all judge me!) I find the location to be convenient and luckily the service is quick and precise. All of this makes my life easier after a long and hectic day of work. I look forward to additional store opening throughout Orlando. read more

I have no photos for this place. :/ That's mostly because we got it ordered into my workplace and I just recently got hired here so I didn't want to be "that" obnoxious person who takes pics of all their food... but I did you guys a huge disservice because it looked amazing... and you probably could have imagined what it tasted like more so with 1/6 senses stimulated than none... Anywho, it's a lot like Too Much Sauce, if you haven't been there then umm okay... but I hate to report that it was not as good... so I can't give the 5 star crown to just anyone. A little different though so if you enjoy Too Much Sauce but need a change of pace, this is definitely the spot for you. Packed with flavor and freshness. read more

I always get take out when I come to Bolay. The restaurant is brightly lit, the service is friendly and the food is ALWAYS delicious!!

I have heard rave reviews for Bolay. Similar setup as Chipotle and Fresh Kitchen, where they prepare your food while you order (Build your own bowl). I also love that they offer you samples if you are undecided or just want to try different options. Once I tried it, I always stop by when I'm in Winter Park. The customer service is always good. The food always taste fresh and light. Great healthy on the go option or you can dine-in at this location. My favorites are the sauces (Cilantro Pesto) and all of the juices. Overall I would recommend trying a Bolay near you. read more

The food was good and it was ready when I picked it up. I ordered the lemon chicken in the small bowl but it was mainly fat, not chicken. Not going to lie it grossed me out so I didn't eat any of the chicken in my bowl at all. Make sure they put actual protein in your bowl lol. Other than that the broccoli was delicious and I loved the cilantro noodles. Bolay please put chicken in my bowl and not chicken fat! read more

Who doesn't love a good healthy filling meal :) Bolay is always my go to when I'm tired of making salads and trying to eat healthy at home lol And I always order the large Cilantro Noodles, Kale Salad, Herb Roasted Potatoes, Lemon Chicken, Steak Au Jus, Freshly Chopped Cilantro, Parmesan Cheese! With allll their amazing sauces on the side read more

If I was to describe Bolay in one sentence, I'd probably say, it's sort of like a Chipotle ordering style asian fusion restaurant with a "health" flare. They boast an all gluten-free menu which is awesome. Pick a bowl base (cilantro rice noodles, sweet potato noodles, kale mix, spinach, quinoa, white or black rice) then pick a protein and some toppings. Small bowl comes with one protein, large comes with two. I believe both bowls come with two veggies. And each comes with a sauce. I tried a little bit of sweet potato noodle, cilantro noodle, and a tiny bit of quinoa as my base. The noodles are tasty, especially the sweet potato ones. I got brussel sprouts and balsamic mushrooms as my 2 veggies, tofu as my protein, then added tomatoes and cilantro as my toppings. I dug it! I will say...I feel like they've snuck sugar (even though brown) into a lot of their items and I wish there were solid items I didn't have to worry about that at all with. It was a little tough ordering because of it. Also, none of their sauces were both vegan and sugar-free. So, the vegan sauces had sugar in them and the non-vegan, obviously, dairy. If you're going to boast "HEALTH," I feel like sugar shouldn't be in so many of your items. The employees were all really nice. I'll be back. And hope they put one in Altamonte soon. read more

Healthy and tasty! Love customizing my bowl. The app is easy to use and my order is ready in 10 mins.

Healthy options, easy to order via app or pick up in store. Delicious flavors but not many base options for low-sugar or low-carb.

Perfect lunch spot if you want something healthy and tasty! The pesto noodles are my favorite. When in season I always get the sweet potato's in my bowl. Everything is good you can't go wrong. read more

Very good food! Healthy and delicious. Ambiance is nothing special so I recommend take out but they have a spacious dinning area aswell. Service was also good, it is usually busy but moves pretty fast! read more

Honestly, not what Bolay used to be. Mediocre quality at its best. The teriyaki chicken was kinda water down, no char to it. The black rice was alright. Plus for the ubereats order, they gave me less meat even though both order was double chicken. As you can see the differences among the two bowls. Manager was nice though, she said to come back and they re made the bowl. But I'd stick to fresh kitchen. Or even pollo tropical, for more healthy or tasty of meal. read more

Love this spot. Just like any healthy spot it's a bit pricey, but no complaints. Worth it every time.

Bolay is hands down one of the best fast casual restaurants Orlando. Anytime I have the chance to go or to talk about it I will. They are always nice and clean and the food is so good. read more

Great and tasty food. Love the concept and how fresh and healthy the options are. Prices are reasonable as you do get full with one bowl. The asian sweet potato noodles were good, didnt think i would like it but YUM!!! read more

Now the best bowl I've had! Everything was flavorful! Also lots of combinations and sauces. You get to build your perfect bowl - a base, several veggies, protein and some toppers. A small bowl (plenty!!!) is only $8.99, large $10.99. I had a base of orange basil quinoa, topped with ginger broccoli, balsamic mushrooms, and chose delicious pork tenderloin as my protein. A bit of Parmesan cheese and cilantro sauce were the "cherry on top"!! I will definitely recommend and come back to choose other options that they let me taste at the counter! The tofu and cauliflower which I usually feel are a bit bland --- nope! They were great, too! read more

I'm a converted hater. This place is right around the corner to our house and I always wrote it off as poor value and that's simply not true. I loved the teriyaki chicken bowl I got and my wife is all in on the lemon chicken. You really can customize this to death and it's fresh and seemingly healthy. Lots of options/flavors to choose from and bases that run the gamut. This place rocks for kids too. To have a flavorful, well-cooked protein along with fun noodle is just perfect for our toddlers. I must have gotten the wrong thing or got this place mixed up with somewhere else, because my closed-mindedness was definitely changed after a great experience. I did laugh as I was walking out of the restaurant as a DoorDash driver drops some sort of red beverage, without cleaning it up, gets a new one (staff handled that really well) and then just peaced out, making absolutely no effort to clean up her mess. Shoutout to the poor Bolay staff who got stuck mopping up the clumsy DoorDash driver's mishap -- you're the real MVP. read more

I'm in love! This quick service is awesome to get something healthy, fresh and fast or to go. You build your own bowl with a base which is either salad, cilantro noodles, or rice. Then you add your protein and toppings and sauce. I had the cilantro noodles with shrimp, tomatoes, mushrooms and brussel sprouts with the cilantro dressing. I loved every single bite! The shrimp was plump and cooked right. Everything was seasoned well and flavorful. The also have great offerings for tea and sodas, I would definitely recommend to try that out too. read more

These build-a-bowl places are really popular right now. They let you put a bunch of stuff on a bunch of carbs, or you can just eat a bunch of stuff and skip the carbs, whatever tickles your fancy. I'm fine with it. I came here for lunch one day with a friend. I had been to a place like this recently, so I wanted to compare. I won't say where, because this place was way better. I'm a recovering meat 'n' potatoes kind of guy, so I didn't do anything super adventurous. I got a base of Jasmine Rice, which is always a nice vessel for meat juices and sauces and stuff. Yummo. For my veggies, I got Balsamic Mushrooms and Herb Roasted Potatoes. Both were delicious. Neither of them are traditional veggies, though. My meat was the Steak Au Jus, which was super tender and the au jus dripped down into all the rice and got the whole bowl very au jus-y. Guess I'm not as recovered as I thought I was. I chose Minted Tomatoes as an add-on, which provided a nice pop of freshness and acidity to my very heavy bowl. And I topped it all off with a Spicy Thai sauce. I was quite pleased with my creation. I really enjoyed this place, and the size of the bowl was very worth the price. If you're looking here for something more health-conscious or trendy, keep in mind they have other stuff, too, like sweet potato noodles and ginger broccoli and miso glazed tofu. The sky is the limit here. Big fan. Will be back. read more

@20:10 8/4/23 First and last time. Rude employee. Went into Bolay for 2 cookies. 2 male employees looked like they wanted to off themselves for being at work. The first guy was helpful. The guy at checkout didn't want to hand me my item because he didn't get a tip for 3 dollars worth of items and I had to reach across the counter towards him to get the item. Employees need to be trained on customer service, glad I didn't give a tip read more

Great food, fast and friendly. Will definitely be coming back again and again. Love the black rice!

Good healthy options for all diets. You can make your own bowl with a base, protein, veggies etc. I got a small white rice, lemon chicken, broccoli, zucchini bowl with a drink. The food was good but needed to be slightly warmer. The seating area was clean and there were also seats outdoors. The staff was quick to get the line moving. read more

This. Place. Is. AMAZINGGGG!!!! I honestly thought this was near Winter Park Village. Had I known this was on the Casselberry side of Winter Park, I'd have been here much sooner. It's dangerous to know it's only 10 minutes from my house! Last night was my first time in. I said so to the lady helping me, who turned out to be one of the managers. She insisted on my trying everything (literally, everything) on the line to make a bowl that I truly wanted and wouldn't regret. I was full by the time I was done sampling, but still had to order. Obvs. The white rice is amazing. The black rice is amazing. The quinoa is amazing. I didn't try to kale, because kale. It's a taste I've not been able to acquire. I was disappointed in the sweet potato noods. I usually love them, but there's was a bit bland. the brussel sprouts, broccoli, string beans, and shrooms were all good. I didn't try all the proteins but I ordered the shrimp and pork and both were fantastic. She packed me up with noe of each sauces to try at home. I loved the yellow (carrot ginger) and liked the green (cilantro something) Everything was so good that I went back again for dinner tonight. The manager was there again and recognized me, and threw in a cookie for coming back so soon. lol Excellent customer service, delicious food, not too badly priced, and super close to my house. I'll for sure be a regular customer! read more

Love this place! Fresh and fast-what more could you ask for? This Bolay is in a great location-Winter Park Corners. After standing in line to order (never slow moving), you pick your "bol" size. In my opinion, the small size is generous enough and the large size will give you some leftovers! Next you pick your carb, protein (additional charge for steak and shrimp), veggies, and sauce/toppings. The black rice is a must try, and their carrot ginger sauce is fantastic! There are so many more combinations I need to try. I don't usually get a drink, but I saw that they have a good selection of beverages, including some interesting sodas and iced teas. read more

Ladies and gentlemen, everyone who is on the healthy build-your-own-bowl bandwagon listen up! Do you like Chipotle? Do you like Fresh Kitchen? Well Bolay is just the place for you! I tried this for the first time during a lunch break and I must say, it did not disappoint! The staff is great and are super attentive too! Instead of a 4 bowl or 6 bowl a-la FK, Bolay offers a small or large. Based off of the size you order, you get the option of various bases, proteins and veggies. I opted for a large bowl that contained basil quinoa, kale salad (the random golden raisins were a nice treat), broccoli, roasted potatoes (which were delish!), pork and chicken. The sauce offerings at the end of the line were great but if you ask me the sides were flavorful enough on their own. Don't get me wrong though, I do like a great sauce! The only downside is that there are only 2 locations so far in Central Florida. According to their website a new UCF location is in the works, score! Here's to healthy options for eating out! The old trend of burgers and fries are slowly becoming a thing of the past. read more
