    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.

    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!

    I'm a fresh kitchen girly at heart but my first time at bolay almost made me reconsider! I got 2 base, 1 veggie, 1 protein & a topping. I did sub out 1 base for an extra veggie. The lemon chicken was well flavored and I forgot what side sauce I got but it was chefs kiss. Veggies were great, seasoned well and not over cooked. Love this for a filling but healthier style meal.

    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

    Miso tofu bowl

    Food was fresh. The miso tofu was delicious and I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors. Hubby got the curated Rain-bol which looked underwhelming but tasted great. Service could have been quicker considering it was rather quiet when we went.

The corn beef empanadas was surprisingly yummy, I didn't think it would be very yummy but it was. The brussel sprouts we always get because it's the best bussels ever. I usually get the chicken pad Thai because who doesn't love pad Thai, it wasn't too sweet which I prefer. My hubby got the curry, its very favorable but would have been well balanced with rice. The puff rice is not enough to balance the flavor of the curry. Our service was great!

The restaurant was extremely busy, so I expected a bit of a wait. However, the service was much slower than expected. It took a long time for our food to arrive, and one of the four kids' meals we ordered never came out. After waiting around 45 minutes, instead of apologizing or trying to resolve the issue, the manager approached us and immediately became argumentative about how many kids' meals had been ordered. I wasn't looking for a confrontation--I simply wanted the missing meal. I actually had to stop the conversation and tell him that if he came over just to argue, I wasn't interested. That interaction really left a bad impression. As for the food, it was a mix of highs and lows. The blue crab dip was easily the standout of the meal--rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. It's absolutely worth ordering. The edamame was also well prepared and made for a great appetizer. Unfortunately, the gnocchi was the complete opposite. It arrived ice cold, lacked flavor, and was one of the most disappointing entrées I've had. For roughly $45 between my meal and wine, I expected a much better experience. While I appreciate that they offered a Kids Eat Free promotion, the long wait, missing meal, and poor handling of the situation overshadowed that benefit. The restaurant itself has a sleek, contemporary atmosphere that's great for groups or families, but the lack of attentive service and the manager's approach to customer concerns made the experience far less enjoyable. I hope they've improved since my visit, because the blue crab dip alone deserves recognition, but based on this experience, I wouldn't be in a hurry to return.

The restaurant was very busy, and our waiter was clearly juggling a lot of tables. Despite that, he remained pretty friendly, which I appreciated. Food understandably took a while to come out, so we ordered drinks while waiting. The beer was perfectly fine, but the mixed drinks were a completely different story. Between my mother and me, we tried three different mixed drinks, and all three were sent back. I specifically asked for something that wasn't overly syrupy or at least to go light on the syrup, but each drink tasted overwhelmingly like syrup and juice. Since these drinks presumably aren't premixed, I'm not sure where the disconnect happened, but after three attempts we gave up. Unfortunately, things didn't improve once the food arrived. Several parts of our orders were incorrect, some of the food wasn't hot, and the issues continued throughout the meal. The manager did come by our table twice, so I appreciate that there was at least an attempt to address everything. By that point, though, I had just finished an extremely long shift and was exhausted, so I eventually left the rest of my family inside and waited in the car. I could understand one rough visit, especially on a busy day, but this unfortunately hasn't been an isolated experience for us at this location. Every time we give it another chance, something seems to fall short. I genuinely wish this location were more consistent because we would absolutely frequent it given how close and convenient it is. Better quality control on food leaving the kitchen, more attention to order accuracy, and some consistency behind the bar would make a huge difference. For now, though, I unfortunately can't recommend this location based on our repeated experiences.

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.
