Pad Thai at The Rising Sun in South Oxfordshire

The Rising Sun is our go to for Thai food, never had a bad meal and we return at least once a month. Do try it, you won't be disappointed, but do book early for a Fri or Sat evening. The amount of clientele is a testament to how popular it is.

Had a great authentic Thai meal! A massive menu to choose from. Lovely environment. The curries were so tasty. Enjoyed the environment which was relaxed and informal.

Excellent food and caring staff means we really look forward to our weekly lunch treat. The only problem is that I have 4 favourites which I could happily live on and it is difficult to decide which favourite to have that week, so I try to rotate them. Their vegetarian red curry is an absolute must as is their prawn goong pad prik gang red curry and the kao pad keemo prawns in a stirred fried rice - nice and spicy.

Food is great and staff are friendly, just it sometimes it can take a bit long to get a drink if your not sitting down for dinner.

We had heard about this place from a friend in the town and read the reviews, as we were in Thame for the food festival we booked for an early dinner @ 6pm. Great service and cocktails were enjoyed by my better half (a jug for £11 was good value). We shared a starter (as fairly full from food during the festival) and both have Thai red curries (slightly different) along with different rice. It was quiet at 5.30pm but the pub/restaurant soon got busy with people eating. Happy with both service and quality of the food.

Found this out the blue while staying nearby, rang up and they squeezed us in, was fully booked and can understand why. Food was absolutely exceptional probably best Thai food I’ve had. The menu is brilliant could of been in there for hours tasting it all. Fast service, great choice of drinks. We had a starter each and a main with 2 sides, she was on the cocktails and a few lagers my way and was under £80. Very reasonably priced in my opinion we’ll definitely be back again, such a shame it’s so far from where we live

Eaten in this establishment a number of times over the years and seen it grow Fantastic food as always but this time o service a little lacking and kitchen closed before we were offered desert which was a little unfortunate

We often cross the border from Haddenham when cooking at home doesn’t appeal and, for 4 years now, we tend to gravitate here on a cold Friday evening. Lovely buzz, better still if you can sit in front of the log fire and toast yourself. Food is always great and we’re yet to finish the menu. Can be crowded but wouldn’t have it any other way.

I am not really keen on tripadvisor, but I am writting this review now for the main reason to warn people away from this pub. When me and my partner visited for food for the first time we had an atrocious experience, after waiting for almost an hour at the bar for our table to be ready in the dining room, (even though we had booked and arrived on time). The beer at the bar was ok, I had a shipyard ale and my wife had a gin and tonic, or should i say just tonic. They splashed a couple drops of gin into a tiny little glass and poured a double shot of tonic on top.After finaly making to the dining room, which was a crammed as a clown car, I couldnt even hear my self think, never mind being able to have a conversation with my wife. We were greeted with rude and unhelpful staff, not helpfull with food choices at all and constantly rushed. The starters are what some would call a joke, the portion size is fit for a newborn child, accompained with an unfresh tatse. For around £8 a starter this id ridiculous. The main course was luke warm at best and followed suit of the starters, unfresh, stale and tasteless.After complaining to the owner he gave us nothing but grief, he even came off as quite intimidating. We soon payed and rushed out of there to never return. I am writting this to help people decide whether to consider this as a nice place to go, and personally I would say avoid... there is an abundance of nice places local which trump this place.

Wonderful food, sweet and sour king prawns, seafood curry. Staff very pleasan, helpful and attentive.

The food was amazing couldn't fault it. We had the mixed starter, very varied and a good way to try a few different dishes. Salmon for main...loved it. Very quaint pub with friendly waiters and waitresses. Would definitely go back

Horrible food terrible experience; dining area was the highlight for a nice romantic meal however listing to loud pop music wasn’t. Starters are expensive and small portion, salad was dry and not fresh. Main chilli beef was beef jerky cooked within an inch of its life and covered in salt, turned to dust in my mouth, sent back for a udon chicken and it was far too spicy. I like spice but when your lips burn just eating it, it’s just unnecessary. Service was bad and their allergy advise was worse. Shipyard ipa was stale, flat and tasted off. A horrible experience. Avoid

The manager on duty was unprofessional and lost their temper when we had issues regarding the track and trace app, to which he started having a go at us unnecessarily. We felt threatened and left immediately. When we asked to speak to the manager regarding an issue, they just said that he’s not interested. We’ve been coming here fairly regularly but not again after this!In addition they haven’t been enforcing mask wearing when appropriate, even the staff need to learn how to wear masks correctly. Honestly don’t bother going.

I have no words for what happened tonight. The rising sun, a pub that I go into a lot. A pub that I give a load of money to. The way they treated me and my mate tonight was absolutely unnecessary. They discriminated against me about what I was wearing ( which was smart / causal ). I always wear a hat. Everywhere I go. I’ve worn a hat in the rising sun many many times but tonight was a problem for some reason. They gave me horrible attitude as soon as we walked in the door. They were horrible. I cannot stress this enough. That one bloke spoke to me and my friend absolutely horrible. I feel so unhappy. The told me to either take off my hat or leave. I’m absolutely disgusted from the way they have treated me and my mate and their attitude towards religion and disability. This is disgusting behaviour. Absolutely vile. I cannot stress this enough, the one bloke that spoke to us like that, he deserves the sack or a firm talking to. I feel harassed. I feel horrible. I feel like crying. The way we were treated tonight has no excuse. Absolutely no excuse. I will not be returning to the rising sun Thame and I do not recommend it to anyone.

Ordered a few bits from the Rising Sun, this evening, first of all they got my order wrong. Secondly that's the worst Thai food I have had. It was no better than the local Chinese. The Thai place in Covered Market, Oxford is much more authentic and a 10 times better than the Rising Sun.

Nice food until 7 drunks were allowed in, totally ruined our evening. We left, and so did two other tables. Staff should never have allowed the drunk men in .. it was only 8.30pm. Won't be going there again.

Excellent all the way! The staff couldn’t be friendlier or more helpful - shout out to our waitress Ruth who was fantastic- she knew the menu inside out and was good fun whilst being completely professional. The food was superb - very tasty, lovely fresh flavours and clearly good quality ingredients. They were incredibly busy (eat out to help out night) and every member of staff was clearly working their socks off without getting stressed and keeping all the customers happy. I can’t fault this place! Thanks for a great evening.

Due to another restaurant unexpectedly cancelling our dinner reservation at the last minute, I ended up managing to book a last minute table at The Rising Sun with my partner for dinner from start to finish, could not fault anything with our experience.The service was prompt and friendly and the food we ordered was absolutely delicious - we both agreed we were delighted the previous restaurant had cancelled as we could not have asked for a better evening out!

Found this place by chance while visiting Thame and really glad we did. The Thai food was amazing as were the staff. Would definitely recommend.

Typically I like Thai food and the Rising Sun does it well with good service and quality . I decided to come for Thai tapas by ordering a range of starters . Whilst service and ambience were fine the disappointment was how many of the starters were deep fried items of one kind or another. Whilst I’ll be back it won’t be for starters !

Booked a table online than half a hour before the booking time we get a phone call saying they are overbooked and table cancelled. Check my emails and they cancelled it before ringing. Great customer service NOT!!!!

We thought we would have something different as a Christmas Eve lunch and so headed to our nearby Thai. The main restaurant area was bedecked for parties later on and so we were in the ante bar, basically the corridor to the loo. Hence 4 stars. Though a simplified lunch menu the fishcakes and prawns were particularly good. And the Brakspear is excellent beer (though not Thai!). And very friendly and good service. We have been to Pad Thai previously in the evening and the greater choice dies make that the better option. But excellent value whenever!

Started off well, phone answered quickly and food ready in 15 mins. Lovely.However, the fishcakes were very rubbery and whilst the mixed veg was cooked nicel, the sauce was very watery and a bit bland. Pad thai was a very mixed bag of odd flavours, an almost solid lump of noodles and just a mush of nothingness. Won't be going back, shame as it promised much! £23 for 4 prawns, 4 fishcakes and two small boxes of noodles and veg was very expensive.

My husband and I were staying at Long Crendon Manor and this is a short walk from there. It was busy for a Wednesday night, always a good sign, and we were delighted with the meal and the service. We had a sharing platter to start with chicken satay, pork skewers, pork dumplings, crispy seaweed with a selection of dips and prawn crackers, all beautifully cooked and presented, our mains, chicken stir fry and Thai green curry with pineapple rice were equally as good and plentiful. Our bill with a drink each came to £40, excellent value. Very pleasant locals who are clearly regulars also indicate a great place to eat.

Disappointed by the cost of our meal. The portions of each meal whether a starter or main was very small. The shared rice was equally in a small dish. The pudding choice was limited with 2 out of the 4 puddings gone. We will not be coming again unfortunately.

Busy, busy - and this was a Tuesday evening, but fair play, service was quick and efficient despite the full restaurant. Very noisy though. Food OK, nothing too special. Worth a visit.

We visited the rising run on a Friday night, with a booking at 8pm, being in Oxfordshire for the weekend. It was busy and clearly a popular place for the locals. We were seated and had a drinks order taken. Within a few minutes our order was taken - a curry each and a pad Thai to share plus a side of rice.The first curry arrived within 5mins, before we’d even had our g&t’s. there was then a short wait before the rest of the food arrived.To be clear, this restaurant is a “small plates” kind of place - where you’d order a starter and then 2 dishes pp to share , or maybe 3 dishes Each if no starters. This became apparent when we looked at the tables being served around us, with numerous sharing dishes. Having ordered just prawn crackers , our curry each and pad Thai to share wasn’t sufficient as the plates are small sharing portions.I wish the waitress had let us know as we ordered, but instead rushed us through and generally just made us feel like they wanted us in and out as swiftly as possible.We ended up ordering 2 puds because we were still hungry after the mains. Nobody goes to a Thai restaurant for the pudding.The food was good (vegetable jungle curry to be proceeded with caution - v spicy, whilst the chicken Penang was mild rather than moderate heat). But the rushed service let it down as well as the lack of friendliness and guidance from the waitresses. As a pub, we returned to watch the football on the Sunday and it was really nice.

Big group of us had a lovely Sunday lunch. Food came out quickly and everyone was very pleased with it. The spare ribs were a bit chewy but the sauce was delicious. My main was beautifully presented and very tasty. Definitely recommend to visit it.

Pub and Curry !! What more do I need to say . This should be a British standard. Excellent draft ales and delicious Thai food . Can't wait to return . Staff are fantastic and very polite and knowledgeable.

The best Thai restaurant in Thame. Particularly good value for set lunch. The Thai dining room at the rear of the very 'English' pub is innovative. Carry out meals have a good reputation.

A huge menu and food that arrives very fast. 5 of us out for a meal on a Friday night and the pub was packed. The waiters could not have been better - and my oh my was the presentation fast. Delicious, freshly cooked food at very decent prices. Do go.

This is my second visit to The Rising Sun and even though it was a Tuesday people that hadn't booked were being turned away as it was so busy. The food was good and not bad value. Service was good too. My one gripe is how they cram in so many tables. We were dismayed to find we were seated at the same table as the previous visit. It's crammed into an alcove with the barmen now right next to you thanks to the gold fish bowl like window. In order for my friend to sit down the diners at the nearby table for four had to get up and push their chairs right in and stand to the side as it's impossible for anyone to be seated at our table without disturbing those next to you. You then spend the rest of the evening with those dinners sat with their backs up against you; hearing every word of their conversation (and presumably vice versa) I know if I went with my partner he'd refuse this table and given the chances of another being free we'd end up leaving. I can understand that they want to get as many dinners in as possible but this does spoil what would otherwise be an excellent visit and how it's not a fire risk I'm not sure!

Excellent authentic Thai food, very fair price, nice setting and lovely polite friendly staff. Can't wait To return again and again! Definitely book though as very busy! Thankfully we got the only available table as eating early!

Drove past on way home after a business trip. Excellent restaurant, food was best Thai I have had for a while. Food was fresh, high quality and delicious.

I had dinner on Sunday with my Auntie in the Thai resteraunt and the waitress and cocktail barman gave such cheerful superb service. I had a 'tailor made' Irish Black Russian cocktail and they only charged me for the shots and the food was delicious as always. Really made us feel like VIPs with the special service.....thank you Pad Thai from Rachel and Stephanie

This was our first visit having found it on Trip Advisor when looking for somewhere to eat in Thame. We were not disappointed. Amongst other dishes we had a duck main which was melt in the mouth. The king prawn noodle dish had lots of large prawns rather than just a few. Yes the restaurant space is small and quite closely packed but we couldn’t fault anything and if in the area again, we would definitely return.

I had salt and pepper squid, a lovely light batter. Just a couple overdone and a bit chewey. I had a duck main but again a bit chewey and too much ginger for my taste although that is what the menu said. I didn't like the sticky rice, mine had moved on to stuck by the time I'd got it out of the plastic bag it came in! Overall a bit expensive for what I got.

Booked a table (as it gets extremely busy!) and was taken to our table straight away. Small eating area so we did need to move the tables to get in! Extensive menu meant we needed some time to order, lots of drinks on menu with specialist gins. Cocktail pitcher was £10.

Two of us were celebrating our birthdays on the same day (21 Feb). We arrived half an hour before our table was booked to have pre-meal drinks.

I never use TripAdvisor, don't see the point. I have made this account purely because this place is so terrible I need to warn everybody away!!!.. we went with another couple expecting a lovely evening, firstly are friends had been pushed away from the bar area by the owner and his wife!!!!! I mean can you believe it??? you want us to spend money there and push us away honestly disgusting service. Then the food Christ! it took half an hour for somebody too even come and take our order, we started eating the food which was mainly salt and cold (pretty sure its frozen), when we complained about this the owner seemed to want to have a confrontation with us rather than deal with our complaint absolutely ridiculous. After all this we had to foot an hugely over priced bill, go to the other places in thame 6 bells, james figs all great. My husband went out for a cigarette in rage and overheard the young careless staff talking to their young loud friends about how much drugs they were taking that night. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

Lovely place,a very cosy little pub. They show the football and often have live bands on too. The food is the best Thai we've had and we have a lot of Thai!! Mixed orderves are a must have!

Wish I'd had the opportunity to leave a review on the food. However after finding a table, sitting down, browsing through the menu for ten minutes. I approached a waitress to ask a question, only to be told "we are fully booked". I pointed out that my wife and I were sitting at a table, with a menu, only to be then told that the table had been booked, even though a reserved sign was nowhere to be seen. We obviously had no choice but to go elsewhere.

Lovely authentic Thai food , friendly and efficient service, lovely traditional market town pub and restaurant, always consistently good .

A very enjoyable 60th birthday celebration at Pad Thai. Friendly and attentive staff serving delicious, authentic food.

Pub descontraído, charmoso e aconchegante. Bom para casais! Tem uma variedade de cervejas on tap e comidinhas deliciosas.

We have eaten here many times and the service and food are always excellent. Recently we have tried takeaways and they have been of the same high quality. Highly recommended.

...aber eben nicht sehr gutes. Netter Pub mit nettem Service, aber eben ohne, dass irgendetwas besonders heraussticht.

I only went in for drinks with friends and really like the Pad Thai at The Rising Sun. Nice friendly service and a good range of drinks. The food smelt lovely so will return to eat sometime!

Yet again my favourite local thai came up trumps with nice food , friendly service , and a pleasant buzzy atmosphere . We typically order a selection of mains and some pad thai and with a bottle of wine from their rasonable choice it is a reliable evening out . Yes we’ll be back . I won’t recommend any particular dish as they are all good and I’ve never been disappointed

We really enjoyed our lunch at this pub. The portion sizes were just right (we ordered an extra side of steamed rice) and the food was very tasty. Service was attentive and the pub itself has a lot of character. Good choice for vegetarians/vegans as well.

The meal was very poor. The tempura was more doughy dumpling than tempura, the vegetable pad thai was overcooked and slimy with what appeared to be Thai sweet chilli.sauce mixed in and few actual veggies. The than green curry was presented without rice or noodles. We were the last customers of the evening,, arriving there at 10pm. We asked if they were still serving and they said yes. However, they were clearly keen to leave, cleaning around us as we ate, and hovering to pounce the second we finished. If they could not present a proper meal, and reasonable service, they should have said they were closed.

For the price you pay, you would expect decent sized portions. Not finger bowl portions.

I travel quite a bit to Thailand, and this restaurant does not seem very authentic.

Superbly fresh food, love the fishcakes starter (really mild) and the mains are as spicy or as mild as you want them to be,, with dishes given the helpful chilly rating, 3 chillies are usually the ones for me. Great atmosphere too, do sometimes have live music on a Saturday night, in the bar area, which adds to the evening. This is a regular haunt of ours, the staff are all great too, really friendly, definitely worth a visit if you are ever in Thame, Oxfordshire.

I have eaten here on numerous occasions and never had a bad meal. They will cater for your needs even if there is something you want that is not on the menu.

Had a fantastic takeaway for the family. I’m not really a fan of very hot spicy food but this was fantastic. Aromatic not spicy, we’ll be back for more. Thank you

We ate here in July 2018 and will be going again. The choice of food was large and what we had was delicious. The service was first class.

The mixed platter starter is sensational. Great mixture of tastes and well cooked. Mains are very tasty and delicious. Very fresh and authentic. Everyone at the Rising sun in terms of staff are brilliant including the legendary quiz master. Warm, relaxing unpretentious pub in the town. Lovely after work on a cold winters evening midweek too. Very relaxing. Food is excellent mainly.

The Rising Sun is a great pub topped of with a Thai kitchen that always provides amazing food. Service and staff are excellent. Very responsive, efficient and helpful. Highly recommended.

Nice little Thai restaurant caters for family’s and service was very good food is good. The Curry’s are good pad Thai is a bit different to other pad thai but it was nice atmosphere was great wis lots of locals chats and makeing you feel at home

Dynamic staff, Great food and a regular customer programme makes this a place we use regularly. We have also used the restaurant and come back for more.

The food at the Rising Sun Pad Thai is excellent, really fresh ingredients cooked to perfection with friendly and welcoming service. Green curry was the best I have ever tasted nice and spicy.

Amazing Food well worth a visit, we have a takeaway at least twice a month and we can never fault the quality of the food provided.

Lovely to go back after a year We were not disappointed the food is always spot on with lovely heat to the flavours We were lucky to get in always have to book You never leave hungry 😋

The food at the Rising Sun is excellent. Shared the mixed started, which was all great and had spot on red curry and pad Thai. Classic dishes cooked perfectly with friendly and welcoming service.

This is our go-to Thai restaurant in the area. You can eat either in the airier restaurant section at the back or in the pub. Reasonable set lunch menu, never had a bad meal here. Small outside seating area at the back. Went with someone with a cashew nut allergy and we were quite anxious as some of the dishes contain cashews, but the manager reassured us and they were very careful to ensure that our order was cooked separately/kept away from the cashews.

Amazing food! Loved it! Fresh and anything and tasty like is bought it straight from Thailand. I ordered a pretty straight forward Thai green curry and it’s literally the best one I’ve ever eaten! Great job!

I really like eating Thai food, and if you're in Thame I wouldn't go anywhere other than the Rising Sun! The food is delicious, and if you fancy something a little spicier for example they're very happy to add in a little extra (or less) to suit you. The staff are really friendly and go above and beyond; we feel welcomed every time we go! The whole atmosphere is lovely; there's a real cosy feel to the pub, and all for a reasonable price!

Excellent local Thai with a wide selection of dishes. I have been here with my daughter several times on a Tuesday and always got a table. Having travelled to Thailand on several occasions this is the only decent local choice. However we try the price always mounts up and some of the dishes are on the expensive side. Pla Ra Prik at £16.50 whilst very tasty is a prime example. The starters are getting that way too. That does'nt though take away from the ambience which in the back restaurant is excellent. The service cannot be bettered as the staff are pleasant and attentive. Would recommend.

Small but extremely good. This is not your typical Thai restaurant as it sits within a really nice pub. Good food ,nice staff,clean and welcoming. Sticky rice is ........ really sticky. I must go back again soon

The food was amazing, great flavours staff were lovely, fantastic customer service, highly recommend

Lucky to have this little gem in Thame. Lovely authentic Thai Food and the service is excellent! Really friendly staff...

I have been here 4 times now and it’s never failed to deliver on taste and portions with good friendly...

We don't often eat Thai food, so I am unable to say if the dishes served at this restaurant are...

Came across the rising Sun in Thame they have a Thai restaurant. Ordered chicken and cashew nuts and Thai basil...

It's in a pub with the main restaurant part in a conservatory setting. The food is ok - nothing exciting...

Going out on Christmas Eve is a new tradition for us (as Germans) but this place really convinced on all levels, great atmosphere, friendly staff, super service and brilliant food, we had a lovely evening and can only recommend it. Thank you!

Have had occasion - & the good fortune- to eat at this establishment twice in the past few weeks. Firstly, I was surprised to find that the pub was primarily a restaurant, although the bar was pleasant & served Breakspear beer (anther plus). The food was exceptionally good, as authentic Thai as I’ve found in the U.K, & was served promptly. Both the bar & restaurant staff were friendly & personable. I had a duck & a pork dish & both were flavoursome, & the servings more than adequate. My friend was able to have gluten free options, & she was equally impressed.

Our group of six adults had a selection of dishes to take away as we had not booked a table and it was a busy Friday night. The food was truly excellent, every dish was tasty and well prepared, the Pad Thai was wonderful, as was the Coconut Rice and all other dishes. I can’t wait to visit my daughter in Thame again and next time we will book in advance to eat in rather than getting take away.

I have been to Pad Thai countless times as I live locally, and because it really is the best UK Thai Restaurant I have eaten in. Thai food is my favourite, and no other restaurant compares. The menu has a great selection; absolutely everything is delicious and also very reasonably priced. The service in there is excellent, too.

It is essential to book well in advance, it's a small restaurant in a busy pub. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and knowledgable. The portions sizes were adequate ( we have good appetites) The food was hot and tasty and we as enjoyed by all of us. We had a starter, a main and 2 drinks each and it cost around £25 per head which is very reasonable. We were also given a loyalty card for use if and when we return again. If you like Thai food then The Rising Sun is a great choice to eat.

Very tasty thai cooking, perfect balance of ingredients. Decided to pop in whilst travelling north on the M40 and was not disappointed. Delicious. Recommend

This is simply Thai food of the highest quality and great value. I'll be back often. As it's part of a pub the range of beers and wines is a cut above the usual. The staff made this an all round great dining experience.

I visit here often as I live local. The restaurant itself is rather small so book to avoid disappointment. The food is delicious, can be pricey the reason for the 4 stars. Carrots come as pretty little flowers. Portions are reasonable and the coconut rice is a must have!

We popped in for a meal at lunchtime. The service was really good and the food tasted great. It was also very authentic. The portion sizes were also very good, all fresh ingredients and was presented nicely. Overall a really good experience and somewhere we will definitely be visiting again.

I recently brought a takeaway meal here for a large group of friends and it was excellent. The food is well priced, hot and tasty and when we arrived to collect it, it was ready and waiting for us. Highly recommended.

First visit to the Pad Thai sat in the back of the pub in the conservatory restaurant and had the mid price set menu. It was realy good with five starters mains and a pud. Service was friendly and attentive and prices very reasonable. The curries had a bite but were not too spicy hot to over power the flavours.Definitely be going again.

We went to the Rising Sun for our last holiday night and sadly had a disppointing evening for reasons outlined below. A shame because the food was good, if a little expensive (our bill was £275 for the 8 of us), and the service at the table also good. The evening was spoilt by issues with the beer and with the bar staff. Our group are keen on real ale, I like most well kept beers and am a CAMRA member. The hand pump beer when we went was very poor - old, stale, and just about undrinkable. This for me was not in itself a big issue - any decent pub will change a poor pint on request and this would have been a satisfactory result for us. Sadly the bat staff refused to exchange our pints for lager, a decision which was a poor one for us, and for the restaurant. I hope that they take a more enlightened approach in the future.

I have eaten here many times and the Thai food is always excellent and not as expensive as some. The service is very good and unusually for a Thai restaurant you can get a good pint of real ale, along with all the usual drinks you might expect. They also operate a good takeaway service. It is basically a traditional old pub with a modern restaurant at the rear. I thoroughly recommend it

The rising sun is a proper old inn that serves an excellent quality and choice of Thai food, topped off with great service. Wether you choose to eat in or Take-a-way the quality of the food is fantastic and consistently so. Over the last 10 years we have enjoyed brilliant, flavour packed, fresh , quality food with great service.

Great Thai food and have been here often - the food is delicious but the service wasn’t great this time and we had to wait 50 mins for our starter but once we reminded them we were served quickly - again another delicious meal

Booked on a recent visit to Thame. Not disappointed, excellent service in a busy environment. Would recommend.

During a kitchen refit I spent about 6 to 8 weeks having lovely takeaways whilst visiting here about 3 years ago, so I had no hesitation popping in recently.The service was great, but the food was spoilt by the amount of oil in all the dishes?I literally could see the meal shining under the light.The taste was ok but after trying to eat it I started to feel very ill due to the spoonfuls of oil I was digesting.Maybe I caught the chef on a bad night but I will be in no hurry to return. Shame!

Great atmosphere. Smart, simple restaurant conservatory area. Friendly staff in branded polos. Quick, attentive service. Lovely, well presented food. Well-kept real ales.

We have eaten traditional red and green curries here and my husband says they are amongst the best he's had after years of travelling the World and eating Thai cuisine wherever he goes. On this occasion we had the grilled sirloin steak and king prawns in red curry sauce. Beautifully presented with fantastic taste. The staff are friendly and the food is great! Don't miss this one.

We had dinner here last night. Normally we go for the easy option of the set menu, but decided to go "off piste". Good plan! The food was delicious - we loved the corn-cake starters, the staff were friendly and attentive.After our meal we moved into the bar area for a drink. It was busy, but had a lovely "local" feel.

The rising sun is a cosy pub easily located and very accessible in Thame High Street. At the rear of the bar is the Pad Thai resteraunt. The Food is excellent and the staff are very friendly. The acoustics of this room mean that if it is full it can be somewhat noisy. Especially if ther is a table of 8 or more. On this visit there were 2 very large parties with virtually no other tables in use. T he net effect for our party of 4 was that we could hardly hear ourselves talk over the general backgound of 30 odd people talking.We experienced this once before with an office group at Christmas enjoying themselves but making a din. Whilst I would not wish to be a kill joy the management would be wise to alert guests at the time of reservation that they have very big party in to give the option of choosing a different evening or table in the Bar area.

Excellent food, great staff. Never had bad food here, good choice of beers too. Cosy old pub and restaurant.

Amazing service, some of the best Thai food we have ever had, chicken massaman and pad Thai both really good, strongly recommend

The pub is old and has character , the thai food is prepared and served by Thai people - the combination works well ! Our food was excellent , the staff friendly and competent , the choice good , Yes we will come again - and quite soon !
