Ordering food delivery (外卖)

✅ Updated May 2026

Food delivery is fast, cheap, and everywhere through Meituan (美团) and Ele.me (饿了么). You need a Chinese address and a working payment method. Set your delivery pin on the map, browse nearby restaurants, pay in-app, and a rider arrives in 30-45 minutes. Many apps offer an English interface, and you can add notes such as no spicy (不要辣).
