Some cravings don’t ask politely, they demand heat, aroma, and bold flavor. The kind that only Thai food can satisfy. And for Cebu diners who have been searching for something that tastes exactly right, a new name has quietly arrived. Co Limited, a Thai street food brand born in Bangkok, is now open in Cebu, bringing with it the unapologetic flavors and energy of Thailand’s food culture.
Not a Reinvention, the Real Thing
At Co Limited, Thai food isn’t softened or adjusted. The flavors are meant to hit the way they do on the streets of Bangkok, vibrant, layered, and full of character. The restaurant uses sauces and ingredients chosen to match the same standards used in Thailand, ensuring that what lands on the table in Cebu mirrors what you’d taste abroad.
This isn’t about fusion. It’s about familiarity for those who know Thai food, and discovery for those about to fall in love with it.
A Place Meant for Sharing
The name Co Limited reflects more than its beginnings as a beef-focused concept inspired by the Thai word for “cow.” Today, it speaks to connection. “Co” represents togetherness, shared meals, shared stories, and long conversations over good food.
The space is designed for exactly that: a place where groups linger, plates are passed around, and meals turn into moments.
A Menu That Travels Across Thailand
Rather than focusing on one region, Co Limited’s menu moves across Thailand. Diners can taste influences from the North, Isan (Northeast), Central Thailand, and the South, all within a single meal.
Each dish reflects the region it comes from, from bright, herb-forward flavors to rich, deeply savory profiles, offering a full picture of Thai cuisine beyond the usual staples.
Dishes That Define the Experience
Some plates don’t just fill you up, they stay with you. At Co Limited, these dishes are the heart of the experience, each one rooted in Thai tradition but cooked with confidence and care.
- Baked White Shrimp with Tiger Prawn (Signature Dish) – Glass noodles slow-cooked in a clay pot and soaked in a special sauce brought straight from Thailand. Fragrant with black pepper, layered with seafood richness, and finished with a spicy Thai seafood dipping sauce that ties everything together.
- Grilled Ox Tongue with Pickled Egg Yolk & Jaew Sauce – Cooked low and slow overnight until melt-in-your-mouth tender. The cured egg yolk adds a deep, savory richness, while the Isan-style Jaew sauce delivers that unmistakable smoky, chili-forward kick.
- COLIMITED Som Tum Thai with Grilled Chicken – Juicy, marinated grilled chicken paired with classic green papaya salad. Refreshing, tangy, and perfectly balanced — served with fresh vegetables and authentic Thai sticky rice for a complete street-style meal.
- Tom Yum Goong – A Thai staple done right. Made using only fresh Thai herbs, this soup is fragrant, rich, and layered with heat. Guests can adjust the spice level, making every bowl personal and just the way it should be.
- Pad Thai Crispy Pork – Sweet first, tangy second, never salty. This Pad Thai stays true to its roots, delivering the familiar flavors you’d expect from a Bangkok street stall, elevated with crispy pork for added texture and depth.
- Chilli Salted Caramel Crispy Pork with Rice & Onsen Egg – Crispy pork stir-fried in chili and salted caramel, finished with golden garlic. Sweet, salty, and bold, balanced by warm rice and a silky onsen egg. Simple flavors, executed with serious technique.
- Crispy Pork Belly with Green Chili Dip – Crunchy, juicy pork belly paired with a refreshing green chili dip. Light acidity and gentle saltiness cut through the richness, making every bite dangerously addictive.
Sweets Worth Saving Room For
- Mango Sticky Rice – Made with a well-known Thai long-grain sticky rice brand, cooked just right for a fluffy, non-soggy texture. Served with rich coconut sauce and fresh Cebu mangoes — classic, comforting, and authentic.
- Thai-Style Milk Tea Shaved Ice – Finely shaved ice infused with premium Thai tea imported from Thailand. Creamy, fragrant, and topped with four indulgent add-ons that turn it into a full dessert experience.
- Crispy “CO LIMITED” Ball & Condensed Milk – Golden, crispy roti bites served with sweet condensed milk and a dusting of Milo powder. Nostalgic, playful, and quietly satisfying.
Every dish at Co Limited is bold without being overpowering, a reminder that great Thai food is all about balance, restraint, and letting real flavors speak for themselves.
