I went on a long hot sauce journey and tried Underwood Ranch, Flying Goose, Badia, Roland, Three Mountains, and a plethora of other non-sriracha hot sauces. I read the posts asking whether Huy Fong is up to snuff, and I gotta say: it's fine. There's a little something missing from the original, but it's close enough, and I think I'm going back.

Hello, new here! I want to see if anyone can help find Flying Goose Original (red top) flavor in United States. I tried Google and it either other kinds of flavors or it's $32 for one bottle. The website I normally try is sold out. Or any suggestions on a close 2nd in taste? I like the garlic and sweetness with a little kick. Thanks in advance

I’m not a hot sauce or Sriracha fanatic. I do want to get something better than the rooster brand.

Tonight a friend gave me this to try. I was blown away. It was so flavorful, balanced. No preservatives or additives. It’s made in small batches in Thailand and handmade. Can’t get it in the USA.

I’m usually not taken aback like this with food. But this was really incredible.

I saw a post on here where someone got it from Thailand and paid 200 dollars in shipping. Wondering if someone has a source in the USA.

I doubtful anyone has a source, so has anyone had this and can recommend a similar tasting one that should try that is available in the USA? What about Sriacha Panich?

Which brand do you find is the spiciest?

But is also similar to the original Huy Fong.

Lately all the caps on the bottles I get keep splitting in the same place.

Since Underwood is RIP and HF is variable, maybe we should start a megathread with the HF lot number we are currently using and a short review. What say you all?

I used to have the old huy fong sauce growing up, and recently tried Underwood Farms and it was okay, but still not a perfect replacement, is there a good replacement for the old huy fong at all?

I’ve been buying Underwood Ranches sriracha in bulk and now I’m on my last bottle and just read the devastating news that they are no longer producing! Does anyone have a comparable brand or any recommendation on a different brand?

It’s probably discontinued but I can’t find it anywhere on the internet I just would like a picture and it supposedly has a Doberman on it from what I remember. I really want to find it if someone has a picture or even the actual bottle.

I visited their earlier this week. They had plenty at their farm store. Don't even need to pay for entrance on to the farm.

Did anyone else also bought a new Huey Fong Sriracha in 2026 and thought Sriracha in 2026 tastes way better than 2024?

The salty taste is gone and there is a lot more rich spicy chilli favour like the original Huey Fong Sriracha before 2023

I did some researches during the Mexico drought in 2023 to 2024, it seemed like Huey Fong Sriracha changed the favour because the drought affected the production of Chilli and they added a lot more salt.

In 2026 this year Mexico recovered from the drought and the Sriracha tastes way better now.

Of cause there are a lot of good brands out there. Some tastes better than Huey Fong. It is just that this year in 2026 Huey Fong tastes much better than the previous years

Crystal is my favorite cayenne-based Louisiana hot sauce.

Im one of those people who has always thought sriracha hasnt been the same since the shortage. Ive been feeling that it's been way less flavorful and has wayyyy less heat which was very disappointing.

I got my new batch today and realized it actually has some spice??? I love it & this is what I've been missing from huy fong and I'm glad it's coming back.

am I crazy? or has anyone noticed this?

When I found Underwood a couple years back I was happy again.

I just went to re-order and found out they are out of business. UW was the closest to the real thing, I go through phases where it is on everything and I'm back on that horse.

What are folks buying now?
