  • Layered, umami-rich flavor profile
  • Versatile, crowd-pleasing condiment
  • Aromatic, complex sichuan notes
  • Standout zhong sauce favorite
  • Oil-forward, leaky packaging
  • 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.

  • pretty good sauce. We have the original one with xtra spicy and like that one a bit more. The Szechuan flavor is not as strong as we would like. I would still put this on my meats but will opt for the xtra spicy jar next time.

  • Love the sichuan chili crisp, has a great flavor and even chili to oil ratio. Not spicy just the perfect sichuan peppercorn natural flavor

  • The perfect oil to chili crisps ratio. I also love the loud and bold packaging!

  • fly by jing is a great intro to chili oil if you haven't had it before. it's not nearly as spicy as other chili oils, so perfect for those who aren't into the crazy spice kick. i love the sweetness from the zhong sauce, and honestly put it on top of everything. i wish it came in a bigger size so it doesn't go so fast! 🥹

  • Still one of the best chili crisp options that I've found, the depth of flavor and smokiness is really great for a variety of dishes as an ingredient or garnish

  • I really enjoy their Spicy Chili Crisp product for its taste. I have tried many different brands of this product or this product's equivalent (Lao Gan Ma, Momofuku, etc.) and Fly by Jing's is my favorite. Its price point is a bit higher than I can afford to buy on a regular basis, but I will get it occasionally or when I happen to find it on sale. It also makes a great gift due to its higher price point.

  • This was pretty tasty! I didn’t have high expectations as who cooks better than your own mom?? But overall very well made and packaged, a great addition to any dish

  • Crispy and spicy and so tasty. A little oily but so flavorful it’s worth it!

  • Good sauce for dumps but prefer other chilli oils. Definitely on the sweeter side of sauces.

  • It tastes rly good but different from traditional chili oil like Lao gan ma.

  • Delicious! I was surprised by how flavorful this chili crunch is compared to other brands, will definitely be putting this on all sorts of foods.

  • I got the Sichuan Chili Crisp from Fly by Jing and I really liked it! The chili crisp is not spicy for me but brings out the chili aroma and flavor which goes so well with fried rice and dumplings! I would definitely be getting the chili crisp again in the future and would like to try their other products!

  • Amazing. Delicious. Just the right amount of spicy. Adds a something to everything. I like it on noodles and eggs. Also the packaging is superb. It’s up there with the best chili crisps.

  • Really tasty and works as a good topping to different dishes! I think this works as a good intro into different Asian chilis or as a mild everyday topper

  • My fiancé and I are VERY picky when it comes to chili oil- and we have to say Fly by Jing lived up to our high standards. Excited to try their other variety of products.

  • This was very pricy, but I have to say the flavor genuinely impressed me. It’s nice and mellow, smooth, and almost had a hint of sweetness. Awesome addition to eggs, potatoes, ramen, etc

  • The spice and flavor in their Chili Sauce is DELISH! I love that it’s versatile with many things that I cook. I like to add it to my soups when I’m sick so I can get that drip! Lol

  • This was a delicious topper on eggs and ramen. The flavor was perfect with a match of spice to umami.

  • Delicious, but I prefer Mr Bing chili crisp which is saltier. May just be a matter of preference.

  • By far the best of the recent chili crisps I’ve tried!
