Frequently asked

Does Teriyaki Madness use seed oils?

Based on our menu research, Teriyaki Madness cooks with: soybean oil (estimated). Across the 43 menu items we analyzed, it averages 7.0g estimated PUFA per item, earning a seed-oil grade of C (High Risk).

What oil does Teriyaki Madness cook with?

Our research indicates: Undisclosed; soybean assumed under the higher-PUFA rule. The 'Contains Soy' flags across the line are explained by soy sauce (every teriyaki, stir-fry, spicy, gyoza and orange sauce is flagged, as is plain Soy Sauce), and the deep-fried Chicken Katsu (no sauce) carries NO soy flag - so the allergen chart is not evidence of soybean frying oil in either direction (refined soybean oil is FALCPA-exempt). Grilled teriyaki chicken has no added oil at all: its sat/fat is 33-36%, above chicken fat's own 30% (Nutritional Summaries PDF 2025-05-20). Fried items (Orange Chicken 25%, Katsu 19% sat) are the oil carriers; 1 g trans printed on Katsu and Fried Rice suggests a partially hydrogenated component. Preparation can vary by location, so treat PUFA numbers as estimates.

Does Teriyaki Madness use beef tallow?

No. Our research indicates Teriyaki Madness cooks with soybean oil (estimated), not beef tallow. For chains that fry in tallow or other real fats, see Tallow Watch.

Is Teriyaki Madness seed oil free?

No. Our research indicates Teriyaki Madness cooks with soybean oil (estimated), which includes seed oils. See the lower-PUFA orders above for the cleanest picks.

What is the safest thing to order at Teriyaki Madness?

What should I avoid at Teriyaki Madness?

Chili Crisp Miso Chicken Yakisoba Bowl (Large) is the highest-PUFA item we analyzed at Teriyaki Madness, at an estimated 43.3g PUFA. Fried items and creamy, mayo-based sauces are usually the heaviest.

What are seed oils?

Seed oils — canola, soybean, sunflower, corn, and similar vegetable oils — are extracted from seeds using high heat and chemical solvents. They are very high in polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), which are unstable at cooking temperatures and can oxidize easily. Many health-conscious eaters choose to minimize seed oils and prefer foods cooked in beef tallow, butter, coconut oil, or olive oil instead. This page shows estimated PUFA grams per menu item to help you make more informed choices. These are estimates — actual values vary by preparation and location. New to the topic?
