Great options!

My bowl was so savory and delicious. While they only have one vegan protein, it's a GOOD vegan protein. I would definitely go here again!

Love it

Id always reccommend a rice for a base, all the vegan veggies are superb they taste [censored] amazing, i wish there was an option of just all veggies and no protein option, cause the only protein option is tofu which is good but veggies are just another level. Good vegan sauce too. Not too expensive.

Great food and portion

The tofu bowl is delicious and a good size. Can customize with what kind of base and side you want with it. Super quick service. Will definitely be coming again.

Lots of vegan options although not many on the protein side, just miso tofu

They have lots of tasty and fresh organic teas, chia pudding (although with added sugar), and their vegan sauces are really tasty

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Additives and sugar

Great Food

Bolay catered an event for our department at UF before the pandemic and everything was amazing.

I've never been to the restaurant in person, but I will definitely go soon!

Filling vegan options spot

This is a build your own bowl spot. A small bowl you get a base (cold or warm options...almost all are vegan and all are vegetarian). Then 2 veggies (all vegan) and a protein (only one vegan option but it was yummy tofu). Everything was seasoned so well I didn't need to add anything else.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Outdoor seating

Cons: Only one vegan protein

Bolay vegan options

LOTS of vegan options that are indicated as such on the menu. Food is fantastic and fresh. A lottle pricey but totally worth it. A kids bowl is like $5 a small is $8.88 after tax and I dont know how much the large is. I always get 1/2 quinoa 1/2 sweet potato noodles as my base, mushrooms and cauliflower as my veggies, tofu for the protein then top it off with minted tomatoes and cilantro with some carrot ginger sauce and BAM! An ALL VEGAN HEALTHY LUNCH♡

Try the Korean noodles

They have a pre-designed vegan bowl but the byo is the way to go. The Korean sweet potato noods are fantastic.

Pros: Good quality, Clear labeling , Tasty

Cons: Cookies are not vegan

Excellent, tasty!

Create your own bowl. Many vegan options. 5 step process, base, veggies, protein, add-on, sauce. (Miso-glazed tofu is only vegan protein so far). Veggies are very nicely seasoned and not over cooked! Flavorful, great service and 100% gluten free! Many options so each trip can be entirely different.

Pros: Flavorful , Fast, Many options/combinations

Cons: Offer more vegan protein options?
