S&B Chili Oil with Crunchy Garlic, 3.88 Fl Ounce

I did a lot of research online for the best chili crisp oil and decided (as an avid garlic lover) to purchase this one based off a handful of recommendations describing it as “the only one I’ll eat” and “super crunchy and garlicky.” Boy, they were right. This oil is fantastic and I now crave it every single day. I want it on everything- no, I NEED it on everything- it is so versatile! Since I’ve purchased it a few days ago, I’ve made ramen, rice, deviled eggs, spamsilog (shoutout to my Filipinos!), and tonight am going to try it with some spam musubi. I only wish I had bought more, since I’m nearly out after only a few days!! I’ll definitely be purchasing the 14 oz option on here from now on, just for the value and convenience. The smell is incredible and really great for giving dishes a good boost when needed, or even on its own. This one is not spicy at all- I could eat it by the spoonful. I can’t wait to try the spicy option after this and to keep buying it in bulk! Thank you S&B, I love this product so much. 🫶

Hi, fellow White person! (also hi not-white person probably reading this. I'm not writing this review for you because presumably you're sensible enough to know exactly how good this stuff is, and what it can be used for, and I can't offer you any knowledge you don't already have. Maybe you don't know, though, and that's okay. If you want to stick around be my guest.) Okay. Look. I know the concept of 'someone fried a lot of garlic and some kind of chili?! and then put it in OIL?! that they expect me to EAT?!?!' is frightening to some of us. The concept of a topping that isn't for ice cream or the world's mildest tacos is alien. Just take my hand. Go with me on this journey. First, let me assure you, this? This is the baby stuff. It's mild, says so right there. Barely hot enough to make you feel like you're about to step into the confession booth after a saturday night bachelor party. Tepid, at best. Regular old black pepper would be right at home. It's a good burn, and a flavorful one. Second. Garlic! Come on we all love garlic. I suppose there's people allergic to garlic or who don't like garlic but I would hope that they realize this ain't about them. And there's almonds! We like almonds. They're good for- I don't know. Probably by now we've changed our minds about what they're good for but they're delicious in this crisp. It's not hard to use it, I promise. You open the jar. you give it a mix. You spoon it on top of anything- you got noodles? Put it on noodles. You got rice? Put it on rice. You got a turkey sandwich? Put some crisp on that bayyyybeeee! Add it to tacos! Add it to nachos! If you dream it you can try crisp on it! (please note I make no promises about icy or sweet dishes, but shine on you crazy diamonds.) You don't need a ton of it. The oil is salty and meaty and full of all those good round flavors. The crispy bits are divine and add just the right amount of texture. It's scary, isn't it, trying new things? Especially new things that aren't layered in casseroles or boiled to death. But I promise you, once you give it a shot, your food horizons will go so far you might even be able to imagine seeing an ocean. Buy the chili crisp. It'll change ya.

OMG this is by far the best tasting crunchy chili oil out there. It’s not spicy. It’s super mild and packs one hell of a pinch of flavor. It’s an orgasm in your mouth. The umami flavor is out of this world. I literally put this in everything. My ramen, udon, stir fry’s, and even toppokki. Literally everything. It’s not packed halfway with oil either. It has more crunchy chili than oil. So if you aren’t a fan of heavy oil this is also for you! I promise you won’t regret this purchase and you will order more than one at a time once you try it.

This is my favorite chili oil! What it lacks in spiciness it makes up for in flavor. The umami flavor is perfection and it's lightly sweetened which gives it s complexity that a lot of chili oil lack. I've tried them all and this one is top tier!

Picked up the S&B Chili Oil with Crunchy Garlic (3.88 fl oz jar) to spice up my meals, and it's become a total staple. This Japanese umami topping (often called "taberu rayu") mixes mild chili oil with loads of crunchy fried garlic, plus bits of almond, onion, and sesame for that perfect savory crunch and flavor. The taste is spot-on: garlicky, slightly nutty, with a gentle chili warmth that's mild (not super spicy) but packs serious umami—makes everything taste better. I love drizzling it on ramen, eggs, rice bowls, sushi, pasta, tacos, veggies, or even toast. The texture is addictive—the crunchy bits give a great contrast to soft foods, and it blends beautifully without overpowering. It's made in Japan with quality ingredients (corn oil base, fried garlic, sesame, etc.), no weird aftertaste, and the jar is just the right size for regular use—lasts a good while since a little goes far. Easy to spoon out, and it stays fresh. Perfect for anyone who loves chili crisp/crunchy garlic styles—elevates simple dishes to something special. Highly recommend; it's one of those condiments you'll reach for all the time! 4 stars—game-changer for flavor and crunch! Value for the money, I wish it was a bit bigger!

Great taste I wish it was a little more spicy

Delicious but too freaking expensive for the small jar at time of post 11.99$ I guess cuz it’s all over TikTok (viral) cheaper on TikTok

My family doesn't like a lot of heat when it comes to spicy foods, but I've been trying to further my spice threshold; there's a hot sauce I enjoy and I like the OG chili crisp Lao Gan Ma. I didn't like Fly By Jing, so I moved onto this one and expected SOME heat since it is a chili oil product, but there's surprisingly no heat. BUT it has a really good flavor. It's umami and salty and garlicy - all good flavors and I honestly don't always want heat, so this goes great on an egg or avocado toast or pizza. I even had my spice-sensitive mom try it and she didn't get any heat level but liked the flavor. There's a nice oil to crunchy bits ratio. Not sure it's got Lao Gan Ma beat, but it's a really enjoyable condiment.
