About this restaurant

Fancy
Great for creative cocktails
Great for happy hour

First Born is an ode to our family, a tribute to our heritage, and a high-five to where we grew up, all cheekily brought together (don’t make us say ‘fused’) to create an unforgettable dining experience.

Fuelled by relentless energy, an obsession with food, and an unflinching desire to prove the naysayers wrong, First Born is home to a group of rag-tag renegades dedicated to doing things our way.

Headed up by our executive chef, Brandon Le, and supported by our dedicated in-house staff, we're not blowing smoke up anyone's ass when we say we really, really, really love to show people a good time.

The food was FANTASTIC!!!! So good. The service wasn’t excellent - it took a little while for the server to come by. Probably the host didn’t notify the server we’d been sat. My food came out quickly and it was DELICIOUS but my friend waited a long time for her food to come out. The music also is very loud so it’s hard to talk across the table. Cocktails were *chefs kiss*

Drinks are very sweet, food is greasy and fried, and ambience is too bright. Overall the experience was okay. Also all items recommended by server were deep fried.

The restaurant looks beautiful when peeking in as you walk by. The bar is pretty, the lighting attractive, but it was often only half full. We had reservations for 7:15 on a Saturday. Per usual, it was half full. No one was even sitting at the bar. The food was very good as were the drinks. The ambience is a little odd. First of all there was a DJ spinning club beats during dinner which I thought was odd. Thankfully he wasn’t too loud. Secondly, the space is sterile. It’s like a fancy cafeteria. There are no booths, quiet corners, or separate spaces. Everyone can see everyone. Thirdly, there was some sort of awkwardly hung black curtains portioning off the back of the room for some reason. The owners should remove some tables, rearrange to create private spaces and to make the restaurant appear more full, and do something about the weird black drapes. Also, music is good, but ditch the club beats during dinner. The food is good, the bartenders are top notch and that place should be jumping on a Saturday night.

The food is outstanding; very creative and tasty. Service was excellent. The interior is totally renovated from when we started going to this location (not this restaurant) 50 years ago. Very chic. However it is much too loud inside. Lower the volume and nix the DJ.

Music much too loud for dining. Missed the mark on Los Gatos demographic, who do not want loud DJ music with dinner. Will not return unless the music volume changes.

We visited First Born for the first time and were very impressed with the ambience and location and the overall feel and set up. The food was sub-par though. All the appetizers like the fries and mushroom fritetrs and spring rolls were way too oily. You could actaully taste the oil. we had ordered vegetarian spring rolls and it has the smell of fish so was probably fired in the same oil as other meat dishes, which is not right at all. The main dishes were so sweet, it felt like we were having dessert and not savory dishes. Lots of improvement on the food is required.

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!!
