  • Rich, complex umami flavor
  • Versatile, everyday condiment
  • Distinctive sichuan pepper tingle
  • Eye-catching, stylish packaging
  • Very oily, messy jars
  • Inconsistent crunch texture
  • Mild heat for spice lovers
  • Chili-to-oil ratio imbalance

Fly by Jing earns strong reviews for delivering flavorful, versatile Sichuan-inspired condiments—standouts include the OG Sichuan Chili Crisp and Zhong Sauce—that reliably elevate eggs, noodles, dumplings, and more. Reviews also flag notable drawbacks: many find the products very oily with inconsistent crunch, sometimes too mild (or occasionally too hot), and multiple mentions of leaky, messy jars and chili-to-oil imbalance.

  • Love this chili crisp, it goes well on any dish. Super tasty, slightly addictive.

  • The Sichuan Chili Crisp is the bomb. Not the most traditional, but it goes with everything. I've used an entire bottle in 2-3 weeks.

    Nothing really.

  • I heard about Fly by Jing on social media and I love the mission and the look of their products, so I had to try it. I bought their soup dumplings and the Sichuan Chili Crisp sauce, which an absolute game-changer. My friends and I all loved it. It goes well on everything, from dumplings to eggs. The dumplings were amazing as well and the soup had a great taste.

    Feedback

    Minus one star as the dumplings ship frozen and mine were not packed properly, leading them all melting together in a clump. The company has great customer service and righted the issue by offering me a full refund AND sending me replacement products.

  • I started with the Sichuan Chili Crisp in 2019, and I finally got around to buying the 3-Pack this year. I'm glad I did! The Chili Crisp and Zhong Sauce can definitely be consumed every day. It's dangerous. The Mala, I have a harder time using but it is definitely tasty nonetheless! Plus, they forgot a small part of my order and their customer service was pleasant and so helpful. I got it shipped right away.

    The Chili Crisp always leaks, but I don't think that's easily solvable.

  • my fav FBJ is the OG flavor. i put it on almost everything but my fav thing is eggs. it just takes it up a notch. i'd love to try every flavor eventually. i'll always be a big fan of FBJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • My favorite chili crisp brand by far. Its the first one I tried and I have tried many since but every time I purchase one that is not Fly by Jing I regret it. WORTH THE MONEY.

  • Overall great flavor and good variety and difference amongst each of the different options. Loving this on so many things!

  • Overall, we enjoyed the flavors as they all have a bit of a kick. The texture is smoother than other brands we have tried, not quite a crunch but delicious nonetheless.

  • Love the Sichaun Chili Crisp that I got to try! It adds the perfect amount of heat and flavor to everything I add it to - eggs, spring rolls, egg rolls, toast, etc. This is a kitchen staple and great to have on hand. Plus, the brand packaging feels super cool.

  • I really like the taste! It’s delicious but I don’t love that they use seed oils as they are very inflammatory and I suffer from auto immune disorder.

  • Such a good add-on to any dish — I personally love it with stir fry and avocado toast. It has the perfect amount of spice and flavor to enhance your food.

  • I tried the extra spice one expecting that it would be similar to the ones I have tried in chinese restaurants but it was way hotter. I shoudl have bought the regular chili sauce. It needs to be used very sparingly as it is a very hot sauce.

  • The jar is pretty small for the price, but this is a great sauce for noodles or with chinese recipes. It is not too spicy but has just the right amount of flavor.

  • Spicy but soooo tasty! It's the perfect addition to ramen, eggs, and more. Honestly love it more than chili crisp.

  • I bought these BOGO Fly by Jing chili sauce through Thingtesting. I tried the Zhong sauce in noodle. It tastes really delicious. It added the flavor to the noodle. The spice level is just perfect. I love it.

  • Didn't care for the low quality ingredients. Prefer items without soy or seed oils, and prefer organic ingredients.

  • I really enjoyed the sweet yet savory yet slightly spicy umami flavor! I served it on top of eggs and it was DIVINE! I will be buying again.

  • While it is a bit pricey, the Thingtesting reward is what made me bite the bullet and I'm so glad I did! This is a perfectly balanced, spicy but not mouth-numbingly-so chili crisp. I've enjoyed it on pasta, eggs, dumplings and even ice cream (don't knock it, a peanut butter ice cream with Sichuan chili crisp on top will change your mind). My only regret is not getting another flavor to try!!

  • I have tried multiple products by this brand. All great flavors, just a little pricey.
