La Lechonera Restaurant
La Lechonera specializes in Puerto Rican cuisine with a strong focus on coal-roasted pork (pernil and lechón asado), which are traditionally cooked without seed oils. However, the menu features many fried items — including fritters, fried plantains, fried pork rinds, fried chicken, and French fries — without specifying what oil they use for frying. No mention of clean cooking fats (butter, lard, tallow) was found on their website. When you visit, ask the owner directly about their frying oil and whether they use any other seed oils in sauces or preparation.

Mandarin House
Mandarin House is a traditional Chinese restaurant in Roslindale with a menu heavy in fried appetizers and pan-fried noodle dishes. The menu lists fried items prominently (egg rolls, fried dumplings, tempura shrimp, fried chicken), but we found no public statement about which oils they use for frying. Given the volume of fried food and the absence of any mention of clean cooking fats (butter, tallow, lard, etc.), it is likely they use standard vegetable or seed oils—a common practice in casual Chinese restaurants. To know for certain, ask them directly: "What oil do you use for your fryer?"
