Chan Darette in Marina Del Rey

I had lunch today at a contemporary-ish thai place called Chan Darette in Marina Del Rey today. My pad kee mao was excellent, perfectly spicy rice noodles and quality beef (not that cafeteria-grade stuff you sometimes find in lesser restaurants) in a rich sauce with plenty of basil. My friends' pork and tofu pad-thai looked equally as delicious. I ate at Chan Darette's sister restaurant, Chan Dara on larchmont blvd in Los Angeles a few weeks back, and it was good as well. They didn't have a pad kee mao on the lunch menu that i could find, but even if they did, i think the one from today would have been better. My lunch special today was $10, well worth it-
