About Us

O'ya was born from a deep love for tradition—and a bold desire to make it new. Founded by a Taiwanese American who grew up in her family’s restaurant, O'ya is rooted in generations of flavor, hard work, and community. From a young age, she watched her parents craft dishes that brought people together, blending rich Chinese culinary traditions with the vibrant energy of American life. Now, we're continuing that legacy—on our own terms. At O'ya, we’re proud to honor our family’s long-standing Chinese roots while adding a fresh perspective to the sauces we know and love. Every recipe is inspired by the flavors she grew up with—refined, reimagined, and crafted for today’s kitchens. To do it right, we went back to the source: the heart of Jiangsu, China—home to one of the most renowned condiment-making regions in the world. Known for its time-honored fermentation techniques and high-quality ingredients, Jiangsu is where our sauces begin. We work with trusted partners who understand the art of flavor, ensuring every bottle of O'ya delivers balance, depth, and authenticity. O'ya isn’t just about what’s in the bottle. It’s about carrying forward a family story—seasoned with history, stirred by innovation, and always made with heart.
