Chowbus is a food delivery platform providing authentic Asian food to its users while empowering local restaurants and stores with the technology, tools, and marketing expertise to grow their business. It provides a curated list of local independent restaurants and stores (paired with real food pictures), a unique bundling feature that allows users to order from multiple restaurants in a single delivery with no added fees, and reliable delivery service. In 2020, Chowbus was listed by Andreessen Horowitz as one of the largest and fastest-growing consumer-facing marketplaces in the United States.

Founded by Linxin Wen and Suyu Zhang in 2016, Chowbus helps people discover local Asian cuisine that is not easily found on traditional third-party delivery apps.
