RedBloom proves to be an effective and delicious chili oil in reviews: users praise its bold, balanced flavor and gut-friendly formulation, but multiple reviewers report deceptive subscription and refund practices. The product works for people who normally get stomach pain from spicy foods and elevates many dishes, yet some customers accuse the company of dishonest subscription handling and refusal to honor returns.

  • Redbloom is so good that I’ll literally put on anything… I mean it. Instantly levels up so many different meals, will forever keep some around.

  • I recently tried RedBloom Chili Oil and was pleasantly surprised! by its balanced spiciness and depth of flavor, which added a delightful kick to my dishes without overwhelming my palate. The packaging was appealing, and the oil's versatility made it a great addition to both cooking and finishing touches on various meals.

  • so good! The blend of chili and other natural flavors creates a deliciously balanced kick that elevates every dish I've tried it on. It's like a little burst of goodness for my taste buds and my tummy. Highly recommended!!

  • I ordered this chili oil 2 weeks ago and it tastes great! Works brilliantly with a lot of Chinese dishes

  • I recently tried Redbloom's natural chili sauce, and I must say, it's a game-changer! It has a fantastic flavor that adds the perfect kick to my meals and is also designed to be gut-friendly. I love that it's made with all-natural ingredients and free from artificial preservatives. Finding a sauce that combines great taste with health benefits is hard, but Redbloom has nailed it. I've already recommended it to all my friends and family. Please do yourself a favor and try it out; your gut will thank you! 5/5 stars.

  • Dishonest and shady business practices. Redbloom claims to have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. They will not let you cancel a subscription, and keep sending you the product. Even when you tell them before they send it not to do so. Then they deny your request to return their crappy product for a refund. You will see another review from Myles H complaining about their shady dealings as well. Then the CEO (that denied my refund request) responds to that complaint with lies. Stating that in order for Myles to save $10 it cost her company $55. First of all, these products cost more than $10. Secondly, SHE cost her company the $55 with dishonest business practices and a refusal to honor the company promise of 100% satisfaction guarantee or a refund. In my case I tried to cancel the subscription in May. I thought it was cancelled. Even though I was dissatisfied I did not demand a refund at that time. I wanted to be fair and figured I lost a little money trying a bad product, too bad this CEO does not have the same ethics I do. Then on June 16th they sent me a notice thanking me for my order. I know I didn't place an order. I contacted them immediately to tell them not to send it. I did this a few times before they even mailed it out. They INSISTED on mailing it out despite my telling them not to. I requested a refund, and mailing label so I can send this terrible stuff back. The CEO refused. Breaking their company promise of a 100% guarantee. It was shady of them to send it when I made it clear I did not want it. It is even shadier that they flatly refuse to give a credit. I contacted my credit card company with all the details. They told me to send it back. Then I can dispute it and they will issue a credit. This will cost Redbloom fees, but this is the only way to stop this dishonest company. If you order from this company and are dissatisfied, send it back with a tracking number. Dispute it with your credit card company. The only way to get a company and CEO this dishonest to change their shady business practices is to push back, hard. I will also be filing a consumer complaint with the FTC for their unfair business practices. I would have filed a complaint with the BBB, but they don't have a record of this company. I am trying to get them to create a record, so I can file a complaint there as well. As consumers we need to fight back against companies this shady. The CEO's own actions are a very telling of the kind of company this is. Update: The product was shipped back. The tracking shows the company has received it. They have not issued a refund, even though they stated they would.

  • This stuff is horrible. It gave me the nastiest heartburn. I tried to cancel the subscription and this company wouldn't let me. They refused and still sent more of this garbage AFTER I told them not to. They claim to have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. They do not honor it. This tells me they KNOW their product is garbage, and they are a dishonest company ripping people off. Stay far away from this company.

  • Shady subscription practices! They opt you into a 2-month subscription and don't make it clear. After you receive the first month you are unable to cancel. Never heard of a 2-month trial. Don't see why there is any use case for a 2-month trial....I only need one product shipment to know I don't want more. Deceiving practices.

  • I'm a big fan of chili crisp and was looking for something new to try. Redbloom peaked my interest with the "improved gut health" aspect. I ordered the "mild mistress" which was good, but didn't necessarily blow my socks of. I'd say redbloom is good if your really focused on gut health and if you're just starting out getting into chili crisp.

  • Absolutely great flavor and spice level. Pain-free and guilt-free chili crisps that makes me create meals around incorporating it. Highly highly recommend.

  • Best tasting chili oil for me when compared to Lao Gan Ma, Fly By Jing, and Momofuku. It's a great product and the science behind it is innovative. I personally love the Bloom Bae the most!

    Friends with RedBloom
  • Extremely flavorful sauce! Went on a camping trip and tried a jar of it, it's hard to go wrong with anything after this stuff is added. 100% recommend!

  • I don't consider myself a hot chili oil aficionado, but I love a good hot chili oil, and I love RedBloom

  • At first I was hesitant to try RedBloom because I've been burned in the past by bad chili sauce. But I gotta say, RedBloom is a game changer. Very impressed and Comes as advertised. I'm looking forward to trying all the flavors soon.

  • My boyfriend and I love trying new sauces. I personally love the hot & holy but my boyfriend prefer bloom bae since he love spicy way more than me. Love that there is aroma to it and the packaging is on fleek.

  • Used RedBloom in my fried rice and it turned out amazing without any of the pain later on! Definitely a game changer.

  • RedBloom chili sauce is amazing not only because of the smooth and spectacular taste of the sauce itself but also due to the special chemical reactions that could happen when the chili sauce is combined with other dishes. For me, I had it with bao buns and dumplings, and the sauce made these bland creatures much more flavorful than I could possibly imagined. Different from any kind of chili sauce that I've tried in China, ReBloom's possesses the taste that's less aggressive, more compatible, fresher and healthier (as you can tell from the recipe)! Highly recommend for anyone who'd like to try the taste of spiciness without being concerned of the stomach.

  • I have never been the type to use chili sauces, but Redbloom is an exception! I’m learning to enjoy spice, and theIr “Mild Mistress” was the perfect way to start!

  • Great flavor, right amount of heat, and taste really good! Great topping for some heat and extra flavor

  • My family has tried RedBloom, all four of us gave double thumps up. Especially my two youth boys love it! I would highly recommend friends to give it try. You will not forget it.
