Site: https://www.dimsumandnoodle.com
Report: https://directindex.org/r/dimsumandnoodle.com
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Dim Sum & Noodle is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants cannot open the website of Dim Sum & Noodle, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://ordering.chownow.com/order/9404/locations (through chownow acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.dimsumandnoodle.com/
- Phone: +1-215-515-3992

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Ordering through chownow on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
