Chan Dara is a small Thai
restaurants that was introduced to me by Giant
Robot magazine which described it as, the place where the waitresses
look like Asian fashion models. Of course I had to check that out
and guess what, it was true. Fortunately the food was good
too. I'm not sure if this is "authentic" but I like it.
There are 3 that I know of. One is in Hollywood. This one
is kind of cool in a nice little neighborhood on Larchmont just north of
Beverly. Another is in the Santa Monica area on Pico just west of
Bundy. Avoid this one. The area is not cool and I always feel
creeped out there. The 3rd is in Marina Del Rey. Click here
for directions. It's called Chan Darett though I haven't really
figured out the difference.
