T&Y Hawaiian BBQ: Authentic Hawaiian Plate Lunches & BBQ in Goodyear, AZ

Great food, fair pricing, large amounts and nice customer service. BBQ beef is so tender! Chicken Katsu is also very good. Thank you for opening here in Goodyear!

The people were so nice! Right away the cashier brought out juice boxes for my little ones. I got the BBQ beef and LOVED it! The portion was huge and service was quick. My group was the only ones in there so that helped everything. It is small so if you don't like crowds plan to take out. Highly recommend.

As a self-proclaimed food connoisseur—trained in the sacred arts of flavor triangulation and sauce-based diplomacy—I’ve dined in places where the chef wears tweezers and the water is emotionally balanced. But nothing, and I mean nothing, prepared me for the euphoric ecstasy that erupted from my styrofoam plate at T&Y Hawaiian BBQ. Let’s break down the lineup: - Korean Orange Chicken (Spicy): This wasn’t just spicy—it was a full-blown flavor intervention. Each bite was a sweet, tangy roundhouse kick to the taste buds. I briefly blacked out and woke up whispering “aloha” to my root beer. - BBQ Chicken: Smoky, tender, and clearly grilled by someone who’s been blessed by St. Peter himself. I tasted char, love, and possibly a hint of island wisdom. - Chicken Katsu: Crispy like a golden sunset, and so perfectly breaded it could be used as currency in a better world. I considered trading my car for a second portion. - Teriyaki Chicken: Sticky, savory, and so well-balanced it could teach a yoga class. The glaze alone deserves its own Netflix special. And then came the rice, mac salad, and vegetables—the holy trinity of Hawaiian plate lunch sidekicks. The mac salad was creamy enough to make me question my emotional availability. The veggies were steamed to perfection, clearly not just filler but a diplomatic peace offering to my arteries. And the rice? A fluffy canvas for the masterpiece above. After all was said and done(also settling), the damage was $35 for 2 people and a drink(including a tip). Washed it all down with a root beer so cold and crisp it could’ve been served at a royal banquet. I sipped it like a sommelier evaluating a vintage cabernet. The ambiance? A symphony of sizzling grills, friendly “howzit” greetings, and the quiet confidence of a place that knows it’s serving greatness. Michelin stars? Please. T&Y Hawaiian BBQ doesn’t need stars—it’s got galaxies of flavor. I left with a full belly, a renewed sense of purpose, and a lingering scent of teriyaki that I now consider my signature fragrance. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Michelin, take notes. And bring a fork.)

It is not very big inside, so it was busy during this visit. I thought the portion size was great. There was enough so that I had lunch and then dinner later in the evening. I will definitely be back to try a few more items!

If you like ono Hawaiian then this place will is for you because it's even better. Mac salad was better, katsu sauce was better. Kalua pork and bbg chicken were great teriyaki chicken was awesome. But the very best thing I had was salt and pepper shrimp. I'm going back just for that. The only thing that was just ok was the orange chicken and Korean chicken... The breading was almost like a pancake batter...idk... Just didn't do it for me. But all the rest of the items I mentioned were to notch.... My new favorite spot

Quick service, not bad for the price I payed. This doesn’t seem like authentic Hawaiian food if that’s what you’re looking for. But the food was still good.
