Montana might not seem like a Mecca for ethnic food lovers, but you might be surprised by the hidden gems you’ll find in the Treasure State. Not only does Billings’ Imperial Thai Cuisine have an outstanding reputation, but Bozeman is home to Watanabe, a highly underrated Japanese eatery.
The exterior of the building is simple, unassuming, and easy to miss... but in this case, looks are deceiving.
Teruo Watanabe is the chef here, bringing over 15 years of experience with him when he moved to Bozeman in 1996.

The ingredients are often imported directly from Japan.
