Sriraja Panich Sriracha Chili Sauce 9.8 Oz by Sriraja Panich

Sriracha was invented in Thailand and this is the real deal. The flavor is much better and more complex than the Chinese rooster stuff most places sell. I am never without a bottle of this brand of hot sauce. If you like sriracha, you need to get this.If I had any complaint, it would be as others have mentioned, the squirt top won't let you deliver a few drops. By the time you squeeze hard enough for it to expel, you get at least a couple of teaspoons worth. The solution is to purchase a set of food grade squeeze dispenser bottles and fill one from this bottle.

After reading a news story about the origin of Sriracha sauce and learning that there are two commercially available labels of the closest representation to the real original sauce from Si Racha, I was super excited to find one on Amazon. When I saw this sauce was listed as Prime, I did have a hope that it would not be long till I could try it. On the second day we got an email from the seller saying shipping was delayed because the US Governments shutdown meant Customs was horribly behind in processing. I cannot reasonably fault the seller for problems caused in Washington, so I said "meh, not surprised", and it will get here when it gets here. I was still excited to find it to begin with.When it arrived and I was finally able to try it, I was elated. It definitely has more flavor than Rooster Sauce and nowhere near as much spice. This reflected what I read in the news story, where someone brought Rooster Sauce to Thailand to compare the original to the US version and I could taste what they were talking about. Sriraja Panich has a lot more going on and definitely a lot more garlic and Rooster was more "close enough, lay on the heat". I feel you can use SP much more liberally on more of your food without it overpowering it, like I often feel Rooster does.My only complaint (if you can call it that) is the bottle. It is more like a squeeze ketchup bottle and I find it a little difficult to control the amount if I want just a little. I guess I could always just transfer the sauce into a Rooster bottle to use the better flow-control green top.Will buy again.

It’s great!! I very much like “America’s Favorite” which has been in short supply. I very much like the Sriracha now being made by the former jalapeno supplier of “America’s Favorite”. However, I love Sriraja Panich. It’s balanced. It’s slightly sweet. The garlic flavor seals the deal. If you’re panicking about Srirachi shortages, give this a try.

I’m giving this four stars for flavor but I found it hotter than the Roster which I use often. I believe this is the hottest thing I’ve ever put in my mouth.

I bought this as a birthday gift for my husband based on the NPR article about the original Siracha sauce. I like supporting family owned businesses, especially those that originally invented the sauce.Hubs is a HUGE Siracha sauce fan, just so you know. He tasted this version and said "it's sweet and tart and about 10 seconds later, the heat kicks in". He also said it's a more complex flavor and not just heat and that he liked it better. He also said he's going to have to ration himself with this, so perhaps I should go ahead and order another bottle. :) Win for the birthday gift!He's also happy to see that there's no MSG in it!To be fair, it did take a while for the order to arrive - because it was shipped from 1/2 around the world. But, it was well packaged and arrived safe and sound.Very happy with our purchase and am ordering again. Thank you to the family who invented this sauce... it's very much appreciated!

my brother's wife's mom is from Thailand. his wife grew up here eating a mix of american and traditional thai dishes. many years ago she started using the only sauce she could get locally that being the big american name most know of. last summer she went to visit her grandparents and while there they got her hooked on this type of traditional thai sauce. she stopped buying the american version, went with this brand instead and never looked back.i noticed the difference my first meal there after she made the change. while not quite as hot but i prefer the flavor on most things. so many asian foods i had eaten and knew what to expect taste wise but with this, for some dishes it was almost like eating it for them first time. though she sticks only with this sauce now i still use both. i like options and this gives me yet another.

I never liked the "rooster" sriracha and just swore off Sriracha altogether assuming I didn't like it. I was listening to a podcast which spoke about Sriracha Panich and how there's a better balance of flavor. I ordered a bottle for my husband who likes all things spicy, and I was very curious about the flavor. This was amazing! I love the flavor and spice blend and I have eaten it on almost everything imaginable! It has spoiled my husband's love of the rooster sauce, so we kinda sneak the bottle with us when we go out to eat.

Flavor is good, if a little on the sweet side. Heat is OK. Thickness is a little runnier than I'd prefer. This is a problem because of my complaint about the packaging. My bottle was wrapped in bubble wrap, yet the white plastic top was cracked, and the seal on the bottle was partly loose, like it REALLY got squashed in shipping. I glued the top back together with some hot glue. My other packaging issue is the squeeze top. You need to give it a fair squeeze before you get any product to start coming out. Due to the runniness of the product, you end up with a big blob on your food.
