Site: http://www.kottasushilounge.com
Report: https://directindex.org/r/kottasushilounge.com
Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Kotta Sushi is partly visible to agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Kotta Sushi's website. It can read what Kotta Sushi offers. To book or order, it is sent to OpenTable, a marketplace.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://kottasushilounge.com/order-online/ (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://kottasushilounge.com/menu/
- Phone: (972) 773-9101
- Address: 2301 N. Akard, 75201, Dallas
- Its menu mentions: a lunch or set menu
- Prices: 3 prices on the site, the middle one $2.00

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Kotta Sushi that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.

- Sushi by Scratch (1.2 km): https://directindex.org/r/sushibyscratchrestaurants.com

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+10 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403), PerplexityBot (http_403) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Booking only through opentable.** (no points, but worth doing) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 2147050090, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists (972) 773-9101. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **3 prices on the landing page, the middle one $2.00.** 

## Fix kit: What to paste
