At first glance, the menu looks like every other Thai place in town, from the spring rolls to the curries to the spicy soups. It takes a bit of exploration to find
anything new, but that doesn't mean Hong Thai is just a rubber-stamp kitchen. The best items have distinctive touches. Take the spring rolls ($3): They have the usual filling of ground pork, bean thread noodles, Chinese cabbage and carrots, but the wrapper is as airy as puff pastry and the rolls are never oily. And then there is the plum sauce, which is not as sweet or cloyingly sugary as the norm.
