Perfect as expected from this brand. My only complaint if you wanna call it that is this stuff does not last long in my house I could probably by it in buckets. I’m tryna get brave enough to put it on some ice cream. But I think I use this more than a kid uses ketchup. Excellent purchase spiceness is exactly what you’d expect.

This Chili Crisp is delicious. I actually like it right from the jar. It's just like it says, Spicy, Crisp, and HOT.

PROs: nicely spicy with a nifty crunchy texture. reasonably priced (unlike a lot of the trendy "craft" chili crisp flooding the US market now). CONs: preservatives you might want to avoid (monosodium glutamate, sodium sulfite, and sulfur dioxide). super salty. I was lucky to receive my big jar in one piece, unlike some reviewers. (There wasn't any cushioning inside the box to protect it in transit, so I would advise anyone ordering to consider ordering it alone, rather than as part of a larger order of things that might get damaged by leaking oil or an inadvertently cracked or smashed jar.) Don't be put off by bizarre assertions in some reviews about a "fishy" taste: there is none, nor are there any ingredients that would impart one! There is, however, a lot of salt. To my palate, the level of sodium is overwhelming, which is a shame because I like nearly everything else about Lao Gan Ma's chili crisp, aside from the preservatives. Chili crisp has a way of enhancing most foods that is surprising and delightful. It is fantastic on everything from eggs to veggies to meats to noodles. It has a habit of disappearing really quickly... which is why, if you like the taste, this large jar isn't overkill. If you haven't tried it before, it might not be a bad idea to first buy a small jar at your local Asian grocer to see if you like it: it should be about $3 for a 7oz. jar. You can also order a case (12 jars) of LGM here on Amazon for about $36. After buying this Family/Restaurant Size jar of LGM, I ordered a case of the small jars. Interestingly, the small jars (produced in March 2020) I received taste COMPLETELY different than this large jar: the sodium level isn't through the roof like it is in this large jar, and the flavor and crispiness are noticeably better. I have no idea if it is typical for batches to vary this much in taste -- or if I just got a one-off or expired large jar -- but I am even more addicted now. Great stuff!

A very tasty condiment that is also great in cooked dishes, just spicy and hot enough to jazz up your taste buds without setting fire to them! Good for use in all international cuisines that require chili, and tacos are now boring without this sauce!

SOOOOOO addictive. Not too spicy, not too mild, and has an amazing taste and texture profile. Am really addicted to this stuff.

Like the title says “we put this on everything”. Such a great flavor and t too spicy. Go tired of picking up the little jars at the grocery store. So went for the bigger jar. This now lasts us about a month or two.
