 Very good sauce...in it's proper place February 2, 2007
3 out of 15 found this review helpful
In it's class (asian), Sriracha is without equal. Most people not from Minnesota or Wisconsin should be able to eat this. But I must disagree with most reviewers and warn you...it is not a sauce for all purposes.
If you're looking for a general-purpose pepper sauce, then be aware that peppers are the third child in this mix, behind eldest sibling - garlic, and middle child - sugar.
Because of that, it will compete with the flavor of most foods, not compliment them. This sauce will not be a component of what you are eating, it will be THE flavor, dominating all else. That's OK for bland dishes, but a disaster for others that have already complex flavors.
If you like the classic asian combination of initially sweet, then lingering heat, you cannot go wrong with Sriracha.
If yer from Minnesota or Wisconsin, stay away from 'dis an' stick with dat super-spicy tomato ketchup, ya betcha!
The Premier Hotsauce. January 14, 2007

I first ran across Sriracha (and am still uncertain how to pronounce it) while eating at a Vietnamese restaurant in California. It was given to me with a seafood entree and I found that I kept squeezing the bottle and tasting the sauce separately with my fork. Its flavor is absolutely amazing. Yes, the other reviewers are quite correct, it is not a conveyer of great heat, but its texture and flavor are incomparable. I brought it back with me to Illinois and have about 6 of them in a cabinet--just in case I ever run short. I've turned at least 5 people onto it and now use it with chicken, pizza, and even eggs on a daily basis. It is exquisite and I've very glad to have made its acquaintance.

I first saw this hot sauce in the Asian food section of a local store. Dating back over a decade, I've been interested in various forms of spicy foods, and this looked interesting. So, I gave it a try, and it now holds a special place in my heart and kitchen. As other reviewers have said, this isn't the hottest sauce on the market, with a heat level around that of Tabasco sauce. However, the heat is where the similarities end. This sauce has a wonderful, but not overpowering, garlicky element and a thicker consistency than Tabasco. I use this hot sauce in anything that needs to be brightened up or anything that I would normally use a hot sauce. This goes great in gumbos, stews, soul food, and of course, Asian cuisine. I simply cannot say enough good things about this product.
Unbelievable - you gotta try it! December 20, 2006

I'm a bit of spice hound and have flirted with other hot sauces before, but nothing has ever seized hold of me like Sriracha. An old Greenwich Village burger joint near where I worked at NYU used to serve it on the tables with popcorn and the combo was killer. The memory haunted me for years before I finally picked up a bottle. I shouldn't have waited. This stuff is amazingly addictive with a garlicky sweet hot yumminess that's hard to describe. It sits on my table in front of the salt and pepper and I've drained a bottle in a 3 month period. Incredible on eggs, superb on burritos, utterly transforms dull dietetic chicken vegitable dishes from the Chinese restaurant. I put a squirt in the health low-sodium soups instead of more salt and all of a sudden all the flavors perk up. Utterly highest recommendation.

One of the best sauces I have ever ate. I am Indian so we love spicy food and this although not extremely hot gives a great zing to your taste buds. My entire family is addicted to this stuff!! I'm a college student and forced to make my own meals so this hot sauce defintly kicks the food up a notch!!
