Portia's Place - Kingston

Expensive and with average food and service, would not recommend for the price. Ordered dumplings, Chinese tea, a vegetable noodle dish and chicken stir fry dish, followed by fried ice cream for 1 person (all of which were average in quality) and the bill came to over 100$ without alcohol.

Our favourite Chinese restaurant ever. We frequented Portia's Place regularly over the years we lived in Canberra and again now, when we returned to visit. The delightful Portia welcomed us and remembered our favourite dishes & drinks every time. Although Portia has now moved on, we still return to enjoy our favourites - san choy bow, spicy mustard chicken, duck & green beans, & ooh la la - shantung lamb!!

Portias is great, everything you want in a regular Chinese restaurant. The wasabi king island beef is an amazing dish, and the duck pancakes also

We visited Portia's and were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and attentiveness of the staff, And then the food arrived.OH. MY. GOD. The duck spring rolls and dumplings were amazing, with the house infused soy sauce. then Special fried rice with Deep fried duck breast and the Special Pork Belly in Dark vinegar sauce was one of the best chinese I have ever had.Cost about $100 for two of us, But I would've spent more if I had of gotten takeaway elsewhere. And the owner is one of the nicest people I've had the chance of meeting whilst eating.

The meals are awesome, service is amazing, the staff make you feel like you are at home. On a more gossip note, one can see a lot of federal politicians eating there, current and previous Prime Minister included.
