  • I love adding chili crisp to my dumplings and noodles! it brings a flavorful spicy kick to my meals.

  • It's okay, I don't think it's that unique to conventional or store brand ones but the packaging is nice. It's definitely spicy but not something I would pickup again.

  • I've tried a lot of different Sichuan chili crisps. Laganma and the others included. Fly by Jing is really good. It's a surprising blend that is very tasty. But it is also a bit pricey comparatively which is not surprising for newer brands.

  • Although it’s a little expensive Fly by Jing’s chili crisp sauce has a nice kick and adds a nice dimension to my meals. I love putting it on shredded rotisserie chicken or just on rice and eggs. A jar does go a long way so I think it’s worth the price.

  • These chili crunch oils are absolutely amazing. They are famous and went viral for a reason I love topping rice, or Asian dishes with this, but it also goes great with eggs and any other food that you would want to make spicier

  • Sauces by Fly by Jing do not miss! I love adding them to dishes. Such a incredible tasting product and of the highest quality.

  • Innovative, Asian flavorful products. I love their crunchy chili oil. It’s a must staple condiment put in your pantry and enjoy and really elevating any meal. Chance of flour and spice, not too spicy and a nice drizzle

  • The chili crisp is amazing! I honestly have started adding it to everything, lol. I especially love adding it to chicken and noodles. It really adds so much extra flavor and makes my everyday meals much more exciting.

  • The chili oil is pretty good. I don’t think it is worth the price though for such a small jar. It has good flavor but I wish it was spicier.

  • I got this for my dad, he loves anything hot so he really liked this. I tried it too and while I thought it was good, I do feel like you pay more for the cool packaging and the fact that it's more of an indie brand, but I don't think the taste or quality is above other ones you can get at the store.

  • Growing up in an Asian culture this sauce is one of the most authentically spicy condiments that you can add as an addition to your kitchen and home cooked meals. Don’t sleep on the sauce I use it all the time

  • I like the flavor of the xtra spicy chili oil. I love putting it on any rice dish for a spicy kick.

  • I heard a lot of hype about this chili crisp and I think it lived up to about 90% of it. The heat level is not too high, which makes this a versatile condiment for all kinds of foods. Not my favorite of all the chili crisps out there, but definitely a strong option. I love that it's vegan!

  • Fly By Jing’s chili crisp is pure magic in a jar. It’s not just spicy—it’s deeply flavorful, smoky, garlicky, and full of umami with that signature numbing Sichuan peppercorn tingle. The texture is dreamy too: crunchy bits suspended in rich, aromatic oil that clings perfectly to anything it touches.

  • Fly by Jing sauces are so incredibly flavorful and delicious. I add them them to so many dishes I make at home. One of my favorite ways to use it is a topper on my hummus. Some of the sauces are pretty spicy, so if you can handle the heat, I highly recommend!

  • I love Fly by Jing! Their chili crisp is delicious. I use it on everything, including ice cream. I can buy it in many stores, which is convenient. I would like to try their other products based on my experience with the chili crisp.

  • These guys started the spicy/crunchy/onion sauce trend and i am here for it.

  • love this chili crisp! It's a perfect addition to so many recipes and meals, and lasts a long time.
