Is it? It is more popular then before, but not like China. From my time living in China, I can personally attest to the ubiquity of food delivery services at an easily affordable price. In contrast, it just doesn’t seem to be worth it back in the states, the service isn’t as good and it is way more expensive than in China, it is easier to just go out.

"Easier" is a weird word choice here. It's absolutely easier to not move from the couch, naked in your robe, and have restaurant-quality food arrive at your door than it is to sit down at a restaurant and fake some temporary civility across town. No contest if you have young kids.

It's not even much more expensive since the sit-down tip is replaced with a delivery premium. And I only tip the driver some bucks.
