    First time eating here. Place is clean. Employees young girls were very nice. We had a large bowl and it was a good amount of food. Will come back for sure.

    Pretty good "create your own Bowl" place. The Tofu was a nice protein option. The Forbidden rice was a nice surprise. Looking for a healthy option while you're out, give them a look.

    I had visited Bolay before at the Brandon Location. This was my first time visiting Bolay at this location. The advantage of this location is that they have a drive-through also which makes ordering easy and quick service. Once, I entered the restaurant I was greeted by the server. I let them know that I m through Yelp Elite Experience. For the regular bowl at Bolay I selected the Asian noodles, for protein I chose Lemon Chicken and for veggies, I chose corn and broccoli. For sauces, I chose the Thai sauce along with the hot sauce. From the cookies available I chose chocolate cookie. From the drinks options, I chose Lemonade. The service was good and excellent. The server was also understanding and understood my order well. The ambiance was beautiful and the restaurant had an amazingly positive outlook. The salad was delicious, healthy, tasty, and fulfilling. It was enough for a single person. The chocolate chip cookie had perfect softness with a crunchy flavor that was not too much sweet. The lemonade was also delicious and it worked well with the bowl. I loved the experience at Bolay and we had a wonderful time at Bolay.

    We decided to give this place a try for dinner. It was similar to all the other “bowl” places. You pick a base, veggies, protein, toppings and a sauce. The pesto noodles were really good. It is cheaper here than Fresh Kitchen and I like this place better. There juices and teas are great when you mix a little sweet tea with the hibiscus drink! I will come back here again. It was convenient and fast

    Bolay > Fresh Kitchen. Mostly because their sweet potato noodles are served hot, not cold. That’s a game changer. Who tf wants COLD NOODLES!? Their tofu is alot better was well. The pieces are bigger. It seems like they give you more per scoop on everything as well. This was my first time going. The staff was happy to answer my questions without making me feel dumb for asking. LOTS of vegan options and they were quick! I will definitely be going back. 💯

    I've been to Bolay a handful of times and every time the food is delicious for a great price .

    I love the convenience of the drive thru. Bolay has the same concept as Fresh Kitchen, Chipotle, Qdoba, etc. Where you pick your base, protein, toppings, and sauce. In this particular bowl, I picked the Teriyaki Chicken, Asian Sweet Potato Noodle, Garlic Mushrooms, and Herb Roasted Zucchini. The noodles had so much sesame and chili flavor, the teriyaki chicken was tender and juicy, and the mushrooms were perfect. The zucchini could have used more flavor, but the creamy garlic and herb sauce helped in that matter. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and I will return.

    The perfect place to eat for all the right reasons. Great atmosphere along with genuinely great people that work there. I personally think you get what you pay for here which is extremely hard to find.

    Always delicious food, great options. Definitely standing out among the many “bowl” places. Very friendly staff at this location.

  • 5/5 Danielle E. 8 months ago on Google
    As a first timer at this location, I must say the customer service here was absolutely amazing! The staff was very polite and carried smiles. I live 40 minutes away from this location but I must say, if I am in the area this will be my lunch stop. Thank for your service and amazing tasting food.

    Very clean and comfortable establishment. I liked the colors very vibrant. The menu is very healthy which I liked most and the drinks are delicious. I'm definitely going to be a return customer. Best Regards.

    The bowls are good, the cookies are the best gluten free cookies I’ve had, and the wraps are the best gluten free wraps I’ve had but today they gave me a wrap with literally 5 pieces of chicken including the tiny piece on the plate in the picture, about the same amount of zucchini, like no sauce, and a whole lot of rice. I wasn’t rude to them or anything so I have no idea why it was like this. I cut the wrap in half and one whole side of the wrap had no chicken. The only thing I can think of is that they kept asking me to repeat myself because they couldn’t hear me well but I didn’t even get an attitude or anything.

    I'm in Tampa for a few weeks and HAD to stop by Bolay for my first meal here...Just wanted to say it did not disappoint! The staff was so sweet and helpful while I navigated through my first Bolay experience. The miso tofu is SO GOOD!!! I will be craving this back home.

    Our new fav place! Loved the food. And especially loved they took the time to write a sweet note on our packages! Fabulous job!

    Pictured is the large Roasted Salmon bowl. Brussels, cauliflower rice and a slightly spicy sauce to top it off. A bit expensive at 19 bucks but well worth it in my opinion..Very healthy option to eating at burger joints!!

  • 4/5 Courtney M. 1 year ago on Google
    I love the food at Bolay which is why I’m still leaving 4 stars but the service is lacking and worthy of 1 star. The foil on my wrap smells like water out a two day old sani bucket and when I asked for brussels I was told I already got a vegetable. Where exactly is the vegetable on this wrap? Very disappointed.

    Amazing tasting food from BOLAY at their VIP week and Gran opening in South Tampa 9/1/22. Always so delicious. You will love it! ❤️

  • 4/5 J P. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent & speedy service. The food was enjoyable very fresh with flavors that mesh well together. I ordered the teriyaki bowl. My only recommendation that impacted my review rating is their lack of diet options for drinks. As a diabetic that chose Bolay due to healthy options, it was disappointing. The cost vs. proportions were also off. $9.99 for the bowl is reasonable assuming you accept the portion size but $4 extra for chips and a drink could be re-evaluated. Overall I can say, I am full and feel good! Would recommend to other people if they want to try something new.
