Have you eaten at Dr. Robbin Restaurant on Virgil?

There's a new restaurant that specializes in "low fat low sugar" on Virgil and 6th, has anyone tried it yet?
I can't find any information about him (Dr. Robbin) although the place seems to have a Korean emphasis. I like to eat healthy (when I'm not eating fois) so any adventurers out there?

    Just had the ice cream, I was impressed, all natural no preservatives....it is what you would expect ice cream to taste like without all the sugar, fat, additives etc. it was refreshing and still tasty and flavorful and still had the density and richness of ice cream...and depending on the flavor the same texture as gelato.....it's worth trying if you are in the area! Enjoy!

      From what I can gather, this is a branch of a Korean chain:

      . . . associated with a well-known Korean clinic:

      There's a review at Yelp:

        Found another review:

        But it sounded a lot like hype. Is this place the real deal or just a marketing machine?

        In other words, who's cooking?
