Korean delivery culture is world-class. You can order ANYTHING — not just food, but groceries (쿠팡), pharmacy items, and even convenience store snacks at 3 AM. Delivery fee wars have made it incredibly cheap.
배민 hack: always check 배민1 (premium/fast delivery) vs regular delivery. Regular is cheaper but slower. Also: 찜하기 (save/bookmark) restaurants you like. And ALWAYS read recent reviews sorted by 최신순 (newest) — quality changes fast in Korean restaurants.
