    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.

    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.

    bolay is one of my all time favorite places!!! fast casual done immaculately. i crave this place... very often. i wish i didn't live so far. if you're tired of being skimped at chipotle then you absolutely NEED to go to Bolay! they have fresh everything, the best choices for proteins & bases. you just need to go. thank me later. kindly, GTB

    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.

    Sanea F.

    I saw this place was similar to Fresh Kitchen and decided to try it. I am glad I did! I created my own bowls to try both chickens. As I ordered through ubereats, I didn't fully know what size of the bowls to expect, but they are a pretty good size for a decent price! The food tasted fresh and seasoned perfectly. I will definitely start ordering from here again!

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.

    Brunch Review 2026!…read more It's a Saturday in late April 2026 and the Orlando Magic are taking on the #1 rated Detroit Pistons! My brother and I deliberate days before on meeting up and with little hesitation, we opted for the Ravenous Pig! Securing a table reservation we instead opted to sit on the pub side where the TVs are. Soon after sitting down, we were greeted by Christina who was our server for the afternoon! Now this is Brunch Mode at the Ravenous Pig with a brunch style menu and beautiful rays on Sunshine which can feel quite different if you're used to having meals or drinks here for dinner where it can be quite busier and a different vibe! Today's visit was comfortable in the pub, lite in the dining room floor and nearly full outside in the beer garden. I settled in with the current version of the Gin and Jam! It tends to change as products become available with the underlying truth being a lite and refreshing cocktail to start with. This version is well done overall! Food wise we started with the Croquettes which had a sausage in them which brought good flavor paired with the crunchy exterior and white sauce on the plate resulted in an appetizing dish. Continuing on, the Sparkling Tea on menu is fantastic! As a side beverage or even mocktail form, it's a great Bev. We went with that and with the Magic game about to start, I went with the IT GOES TO ELEVEN cocktail! Boozy, Bright and Veracious! With these drinks in hand, we decided to move forward with more food and after consulting with Christina, we went with the Huckleberry pancake and the miso butter ribs. Without a doubt, the Huckleberry pancake was the standout star of the two dishes! A light pancake with great flavor and depth that doesn't fill you up but is a great sweeter dish that I can see Incorporated with a more savory brunch item like bacon and eggs as an example. Overall a great time for brunch! Shout out to Brian, Costa (the GOAT) and Scott for keeping it real and just being great individuals overall!

The cauliflower appetizer missed the mark a bit for me, the pieces were a little too big and came out slightly undercooked. The chicken salad was just alright, nothing bad but nothing memorable either. Parking can be a little tough in the area, but the complimentary valet makes it much easier. I love that they have a quicker option out back with the beer garden, you can't go wrong!
