  • Layered, umami-rich flavor profile
  • Versatile, crowd-pleasing condiment

  • Inconsistent crunch texture
  • Milder-than-expected spice
  • Occasional smoky, bitter notes

Fly by Jing delivers bold, versatile Sichuan-inspired condiments that, according to reviews, elevate everything from eggs and noodles to dumplings—Zhong Sauce and the OG Sichuan Chili Crisp draw repeated praise for layered umami, balanced heat, and everyday usability. Reviews also flag notable drawbacks: some find the chili crisp too oily, less crispy or milder than expected, with occasional smoky bitterness and jar leakage—plus comparisons to Lao Gan Ma or Momofuku on flavor and spice—and some mention inconsistent crunch and a need to stir.

  • I just bought the chilli crisp and used it over some bland noodles I had for lunch. Instant improvement! I love the spicy kick, it's just about right. Not overpowering and elevates the food.

  • This is a great product. It brings joy to dishes but I prefer the Momofuku chilly crunch.

  • I've tried several different brands of chili crisp and I have to say, Fly by Jing is definitely one of my favorites! I was really excited to use the deal offered because I was able to try different flavors. I'm obsessed with chili crisp and put it on everything and I was not disappointed. I tried the Zhong Sauce and the Xtra Spicy Chili Crisp and both absolutely delivered in flavor. Fly by Jing is such an interesting brand and I can't wait to try more of their things!

  • Fly By Jing Chili Crisp is a bit too oily for me but it is loaded with complex layers of flavor and is a delicious topping for just about anything. Recommended for natural ingredients as well.

  • Loved it. Just the right amount of heat and obviously amazing flavor and crunch.

  • Tastes great. But expensive

  • This is a great sauce. I've been using it pretty frequently, and it goes well with a host of foods. I think they could do a spicier version, though, which is more authentically Sichuan.

  • Absolutely delicious! Ordered the Triple Threat and ended up trying it on almost everything. So many different recipes you can make to spice up the weeknight meals.

  • First of all, I really love the Fly by Jing packaging. It’s colorful and fun while still being very chic, and definitely catches my eye! I really enjoyed both chili crisp variations; they had great flavor and are super versatile. I used them on rice, in soup, on noodles, etc. They add a nice heat and savory flavor to dishes. I only wish they had a tiny bit more of the “crisp” factor! The price is very reasonable for the quality of product you’re getting as well as the amount. Would definitely repurchase!

  • I kinda hate this product because I literally can't eat anything without it now. Food is just not the same without the spicy-zingy flavor that Fly By Jing Chili Crisp brings to ANY dish. I've used on everything from popcorn to poke, ice cream to cornbread, and anything I can think of in between. Never stop. Please. I wouldn't ever be able to enjoy food again.

  • I love chili oils and this one is the best yet! Loved the smoky umani flavor of the chili oil and that it's not too salty. I used it on everything, noodles, rice, dumplings and more. Must try for chili lovers!

  • This stuff can be used on everything! Love it on eggs, avocado toast, pasta, rice bowls

  • I have tried the chili crisp. It has a unique flavor profile that makes it different from other brands, to the point where I think you could have more than one version on hand if you really enjoy chili crisp/chili crunch. Definitely interested in trying other items!

  • Beautiful design and good taste! pefect chili oil for making asian styled salad
