Hello, I missed my pickup because I got held up at work. That’s my fault. Would it be ok to get my order next time Magic Hibachi are at the PCT buildings? I’d be fine with that if they are.

I love everything about the balsamic strawberry salad; all the right ingredients and the right portions. I appreciate that I can easily get my mouth around the grilled sandwiches and they are not too greasy when picking up. If course they taste great too!
