Food Delivery In Korea | Guide To Ordering Food In Korea
Easy way to get your delivery food in Korea through Creatrip!
You can have almost anything, almost anywhere!
Korea might not be the richest nation but is definitely the most convenient country to live in. You can order almost anything on your cellphone and it will be delivered to your house, office, or even outside in Hangang Park.
This is really convenient for locals, but if you are a foreigner everything becomes trouble. Finding an available restaurant to actually placing an order is all very difficult if you don't speak Korean fluently. In this posting we will find out everything you need to know about delivery, and introduce you delivery service in your own language.
Delivery Culture
Korean delivery service started in the '60s and flourished since the '90s. At first, the orders were mostly Chinese food through phone calls. Now they deliver chicken, fast food to sushi, pasta, and even steak. You don't have to make a fuss over the phone and just place an order through a mobile application and it's done. It normally takes 20~50 minutes, but depending on the hours it might take over an hour.

You can see that more than 40% of the deliveries are chicken, but more and more menus are appearing to meet the diverse need of users. Even though expensive and luxurious menus are available, it doesn't actually match with the original idea of food delivery, to get cheap food fast.
Baedal Minjok and Yogiyo are two top mobile applications for food delivery service. These services provide almost every kind of food available near you with a simple click. The problem is that they don't have an English service, so you'll have to learn Korean or assume what they offer through icons and pictures, which is possible but very inconvenient.
Therefore, I'd like to introduce you food delivery service provided by Creatrip, which you can use in your language and don't have to deal with a sing Korean phone calls.
