First Born

We recently had a fantastic time dining at First Born, and the experience was truly memorable thanks to their innovative food and unique presentation. The creativity on the menu is immediately apparent. A highlight for us was definitely the burger experience, where the delivery via "burger bots" added a unique and fun modern twist to an already delicious dish. Beyond the novelty, the quality of the burger itself was excellent. We also thoroughly enjoyed the noodles, which were perfectly prepared and deeply flavorful, proving that their menu mastery goes beyond their signature concepts. The spring roll wraps were another great choice—fresh, crisp, and a wonderful way to start the meal. If you're looking for a restaurant that offers both high-quality, delicious food and a bit of fun with its delivery, First Born is the place. It's an inventive and satisfying spot that we highly recommend!

We set a Sunday brunch reservation for the live DJ because we wanted to party while we ate. The food is fusion Vietnamese and was true to the flavor with all the dishes we tried. The bun xeo tacos, pho fries, fried chicken with pandan waffles and cafe sua da syrup, and banh mi burger all carried the essence of their original dishes flavors. Their mixologists are very good. All our cocktails were satisfying. Service was friendly and happy. We were late for our reservation so they had to give it away, but they were able to accommodated us in a reasonable amount of time.

The food was solid and full of flavor, and the cocktails were crafted with care — balanced, bold, and on point. Service was attentive without being overbearing. The interior decor? Stunning. Thoughtfully designed with a clear attention to ambiance. That said, we were seated outside despite having a reservation. The outdoor area lacked the same charm and atmosphere as the inside, making the experience feel like a noticeable downgrade. It’s a place worth visiting, but make sure your table matches the vibe you came for.

Great food and incredible service! The drinks and cocktails were definitely a highlight, but the food was incredible too. The Burger Bot in the back of the restaurant was really interesting, and it was cool to see it in action. Loved the decor and the way it was styled inside and out. Definitely worth visiting for dinner if you’re in Los Gatos!

This restaurant was absolutely fantastic, from the service to the atmosphere to the delicious food. Every dish we had was unique and full of flavor. The pork riblets were incredibly tender, and the prawns were cooked to perfection. The standout side dish was the ube sticky rice because of its flavor—I’ve never had anything like it! Shoutout to the chef for the outstanding appetizers, mains, and desserts! We will be back the next time we’re in town!!

5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We celebrated my girlfriend’s birthday at First Born in Los Gatos with a group of 14, and the experience was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed—our table was beautifully set with champagne waiting for us, setting the perfect tone for the night. The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff making sure everything ran smoothly. The food? Absolutely excellent! One thing we didn’t realize when booking was that it’s a tapas-style restaurant, meaning shareable plates—which actually made the experience even better, as we got to try a little bit of everything. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the restaurant itself is in a gorgeous building, making for a great first impression as we walked up. The drinks were just as impressive as the food—delicious and well-crafted. Overall, First Born exceeded our expectations, and I’ll definitely be returning. If you’re looking for great food, drinks, and ambiance in Los Gatos, this place is a must-visit!

went on a Thursday evening. we were surprised by how quiet it was. The food is great. if you are looking for a bunch of delish small plates this is the place for you. Loved the chicken egg roll, which tastes surprisingly light and clean as egg rolls. My partner got a great Hendrick Martini and I asked for a Roku Gin Sour, which is not on the menu, and the bartender crafted both of them perfectly. Brandon, our waiter, was very pleasant and attentive. we had a lovely time and will return.

I had dinner at First Born tonight and it was an experience I won't soon forget. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by extremely friendly staff who made us feel welcomed. Their warmth and attentiveness set the tone for a wonderful evening. The ambiance at First Born is fantastic, with both indoor and outdoor seating options. The live music added a special touch, creating a lively atmosphere that enhanced our overall dining experience. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious. Every dish was crafted with care and bursting with flavor. My favorites were the "fun guys" (battered and fried mushrooms) and the surf and turf spring rolls. Whether you're a fan of savory or sweet, First Born's menu has something to delight your taste buds. One of the most charming aspects of this restaurant is its unique story. In the morning, it operates under the name Breaking Dawn, serving up breakfast. By night, it transforms into First Born. This is an ode to the owner's two children. Breaking Dawn represents the second child, while First Born honors her firstborn son. This personal touch adds a layer of warmth and character to the restaurant that is truly special. We will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!
