First Born Los Gatos Review

I first want to preface this review by saying that there is nothing more motivating as an Asian woman, to see another Asian woman thrive in her own element while running her own successful business. I’m proud to announce that this restaurant is female and Asian owned, by Elizabeth Truong. It’s refreshing to see someone so passionate about their work, and to incorporate all of their values into their career. In this case, her passion for her family and entrepreneurship marries beautifully into the culmination of First Born.

The Magic Behind First Born and Breaking Dawn

If you’re seeking an innovative dining experience in Los Gatos, you’ll find it all within the walls of First Born and Breaking Dawn. As mentioned earlier, Elizabeth is passionate about her family, so First Born is dedicated to her first born son, while Breaking Dawn is dedicated to her daughter.

First Born is dedicated to curating a fun, night experience for all its patrons, while Breaking Dawn breaks the traditional brunch setting and adds a cool, eclectic vibe to your normal day affair.

I love this take as a non-traditional restaurant, making it the perfect example as to why it’s important to have bold ideas and to act on them.

The Ambiance – Where East Meets West

Their dinner offerings are absolutely delicious. As the best pan-asian restaurant in Los Gatos, all diners are greeted by an ambiance that resembles Lock & Key in Koreatown and Dre’s in Las Vegas. If you’re familiar with both of these establishments, marry the two together and add in a little bit of delicious pan-asian food into the mix, and you’ll have First Born.

While dining here, you’ll love the beautifully adorned restaurant and stunning bar, complemented by live music, incredible staff, and just happy people seated all around you. I also must add, that this is the best cocktail bar in Los Gatos. If you’re looking for a break from the typical burgers and brews in Los Gatos, First Born is really worth checking out.

Cuisine – Reimagined Classics

All the spotlight is on this restaurant when it comes to having the best cuisine out of all the restaurants in Los Gatos. Sorry not sorry. You’ll find familiar Asian favorites, with a twist. From ube sticky rice, poke on rice crackers, wagyu steak with gold foil sheets laid as a garnish, tender chicken with sweet and sour sauce, as well as jaw-dropping desserts featuring well loved Asian flavors such as pandan, taro, ube, and more. What is not to love when dining here? Prepare to leave with a happy tummy.

I can promise you that they offer not just an enticing dinner experience that’s hard to forget, but also a menu that you’ll wish you could have every single day.

Signature Cocktails and Service – Cheers to Memorable Nights

Again, this is where you’ll find the best cocktail bar. Ditch the casual outfit, because this is the bar where you’ll want to take a pic or two. The drinks deserve all the love and photos as well. You’ll find ube infused cocktails, smoke infused cocktails, and more. First Born brings to life handcrafted cocktails that serve as the restaurant’s lifeblood. I love how the restaurant blends the art of mixology with unparalleled service, marking its spot among top-rated Los Gatos restaurants for those seeking a memorable night out.

Special Events and Celebrations – An Elevated Experience

First Born Los Gatos transcends the conventional dining experience, making it the go-to trendy Los Gatos restaurant for special events and celebrations. Whether it’s an intimate anniversary dinner or a super fun birthday bash with the gals, First Born promises an elevated experience, showcasing why it’s among the recently opened Los Gatos restaurants that have quickly soared to the top.
