# Mandarin Island: Agent-Direct Score D (53.8%) Site: http://www.mandarinisland2go.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/mandarinisland2go.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.) Mandarin Island is hard for agents to use. An AI assistant can open Mandarin Island's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through ChowNow. ## Direct links - Order directly: http://ordering.chownow.com/order/10159/locations/?add_cn_ordering_class=true (through chownow acting for the business) - Address: Devonshire Street 15446 91345 Mission Hills ## Nearby, also direct Places near Mandarin Island that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Casa de Nati (20 m): https://directindex.org/r/casadenati.com - Buon Gusto Ristorante (150 m): https://directindex.org/r/buongustoristo.com - Spice Up Thai Eatery (160 m): https://directindex.org/r/spiceupthaicuisine.com - California Fish Grill (350 m): https://directindex.org/r/cafishgrill.com ## What to fix first - **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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **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 ## Fix kit: What to paste Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong. ```html ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Mandarin Island > restaurant (chinese) in Devonshire Street 15446 91345 Mission Hills, Los Angeles. ## Book or order directly - Order: http://ordering.chownow.com/order/10159/locations/?add_cn_ordering_class=true (through chownow acting for the business) ## About - Website: http://www.mandarinisland2go.com/ - This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models. ``` ## Already right - **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents. - **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response. - **Ordering through chownow on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours. ## Where it stands 2314 of 4565 in Los Angeles.
