Order food to your door or table — and which apps actually take foreign cards. Our top pick is Coupang Eats — Fast food delivery — if you can clear the Korean sign-up.
Food delivery in Korea is fast, cheap and available almost everywhere — but the big apps usually require a Korean phone number to sign up and a Korean-issued card to pay, which trips up short-term visitors. Delivery fees typically run ₩2,000–₩4,000 per order; most platforms offer free delivery promotions tied to a minimum order amount (often ₩15,000–₩20,000).
Residents reach for Baemin or Coupang Eats; visitors without a Korean setup have the best luck with Shuttle Delivery, which targets foreigners with English support and accepts Visa and Mastercard directly. If you have a WOWPASS or a Korean prepaid card already loaded, that unlocks Baemin and widens your options considerably.
Usually not easily. Baemin and Coupang Eats expect a Korean phone number and card. Shuttle Delivery is the main option for foreigners, with English support and some foreign-card acceptance.
Which is bigger, Baemin or Coupang Eats?

Can I use a foreign credit card for food delivery in Korea?
Not directly with Baemin or Coupang Eats — they require a Korean-issued card for in-app payment. Shuttle Delivery accepts Visa and Mastercard. Alternatively, load a WOWPASS prepaid card with your foreign card; WOWPASS can then be used for Baemin payments.
