How Koreans Order Food Delivery — Baemin, Coupang Eats, Yogiyo and Ddangyo

Most Koreans order delivery through Baemin (배달의민족), the country's biggest food delivery app; Coupang Eats and Yogiyo are the other major apps, and Ddangyo is a newer app run by Shinhan Bank that charges restaurants lower fees. Delivery is part of daily life in Korea — almost anything can be delivered to a home, office or even a riverside park.

App	What to know
Baemin (배달의민족)	The largest app, with the widest choice of restaurants
Coupang Eats (쿠팡이츠)	Fast-growing, popular for quick single-order delivery
Yogiyo (요기요)	One of the oldest delivery apps, still widely used
Ddangyo (땡겨요)	Run by Shinhan Bank with low fees for restaurants; promoted by some local governments

What Koreans order most

• Fried chicken and beer (chimaek) — the classic night-in
• Jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk — black-bean noodles and sweet-and-sour pork
• Jokbal and bossam — braised pork trotters and boiled pork wraps
• Tteokbokki — spicy rice cakes, often with fried snacks
• Late-night food — many places deliver until very late

Tips for visitors

• Most apps work mainly in Korean, and sign-up or payment often needs a Korean phone number or card, which can be tricky for short trips.
• Ask your hotel front desk — many are used to helping guests order.
• Han River parks have delivery zones where Koreans picnic with delivered chicken.
