About Boon

Boon is a Los Angeles-based small batch chili oil created by Max Boonthanakit. Inspired by his love for the traditional Chinese chili crisp, Boon is a reflection of Boonthanakit’s Thai/Chinese upbringing and culinary experience. After polishing off various brands of supermarket chili oil, Boonthanakit realized there was always something missing - more flavor. Fueled by his spice addiction, he went on to craft his version of the perfect chili oil which included a lot more flavor, heat, and the perfect balance of spices for a more universal taste!  What started off as a hobby and a way to make ends meet, Boon has built a cult following amongst friends and family with each person rationing their supply as they wait for the next batch.Read their story
