About Mustard Seed
Mustard Seed is a team of passionate people who love what we do! We’re always exploring new ways to deliver the best possible customer experience while fostering a workplace where employees feel supported and genuinely enjoy coming to work.
Mustard Seed was started in 1978 in Missoula, Montana by a group of friends and family, including sisters Betty and Nancy Tokumoto and Betty’s husband, David Hall. Many of our signature recipes were created or inspired by the Tokumoto sisters who grew up in Okinawa, Bangkok, and Hawaii, and then attended college in Oregon. Their experience with cuisine in these distinct regions gave them the unique gift for blending the vibrant flavors of the far east with the comforting tastes of the Pacific Northwest.
Mustard Seed takes pride in our in-house sauces, our commitment to use fresh ingredients, and our dedication to exceptional service - all of which are made possible by the hard work and passion of our amazing team.
