The Mustard Seed began in 1978 in Missoula, Montana by a group of friends and family. Included in that group were sisters Betty and Nancy Tokumoto and Betty's husband, David Hall. Betty and Nancy grew up in Okinawa, Bangkok, and Hawaii and attended college in Oregon; so, they have a unique ability to blend the cooking styles of the Far East with the tastes of the Pacific Northwest. Our recipes were created by or inspired by the Tokumoto sisters. 

At Mustard Seed, we're proud of our house-made sauces, our commitment to using fresh ingredients, and our dedication to providing exceptional service. We're able to do all that because we hire awesome team members and give them a positive work environment that encourages growth and advancement.
