Our story · Our philosophy

A love for good food.
A place to come together.

Genki brings the care of fine dining to the generosity of an unlimited Japanese feast. At the heart of our house is a simple pleasure: an exceptional cut of Wagyu, a gently simmering broth, and good company.

Building on the Genki dining story in Fairfax, our Rockville house puts shabu-shabu at the center of the table. Each bite becomes part of the experience, with sukiyaki, chef’s specialties, and premium sushi bringing their own moments of delight.
