Essential Apps for Ordering Food in Korea

Short answer

Get food delivered or order at the table — even without Korean.

Eating in Korea ranges from tap-to-order tablets at your table to full delivery to your door. The catch: delivery apps mostly need a Korean number and card.

Visitors often have better luck dining in — using Papago's camera on the menu — or ordering through foreigner-friendly Shuttle Delivery.

Frequently asked

Can I get food delivered as a foreigner in Korea?

With a Korean phone number and card, use Baemin or Coupang Eats. Without them, Shuttle Delivery is built for foreigners with English support and some foreign-card acceptance.

How do I order at a Korean restaurant with a tablet menu?

Use Papago's camera to translate the tablet, then tap your order. Payment is usually at the counter or on the tablet itself.
