Answer

If you are arriving at Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport around 6 AM and plan to head to Shenzhen North Train Station, there are several excellent dim sum options accessible by metro along the way. Since your priority is both quality and convenience, here are some recommended choices:

Shenzhen has a vibrant Cantonese food scene, and while many dim sum restaurants open later in the morning, a few popular ones start early enough to accommodate your arrival schedule.

Shangri-La Hotel Dim Sum (Luohu/Shangri-La Metro Access): This upscale hotel restaurant is known for traditional Cantonese dim sum and opens early for breakfast. You can take the metro from the airport to Luohu Station (Line 1) and walk or taxi to the hotel.
DimDimSum Dim Sum Specialty Store (Futian area): A local favorite with good variety, quality, and early opening hours. Accessible via Futian Station (Line 3 or Line 2) and a short walk.
Jade Garden (multiple locations, including near Huaqiangbei): Well-known for authentic dim sum and Cantonese breakfast. Can be accessed via metro to Huaqiang Road Station (Line 1) or nearby stations depending on the branch.

Practical tips:

Check opening hours in advance; not all dim sum restaurants open before 7 AM, but hotel restaurants often open earlier for breakfast.
From the airport, you can take the metro Line 11 to Futian or Luohu, which is convenient for these recommended dim sum locations.
After breakfast, continue your journey to Shenzhen North Train Station via metro Line 4 or Line 3 depending on your location.

Overall, aiming for a hotel or popular early-opening chain will maximize your chances of a quality dim sum breakfast without needing to rush, while still being on the way to the train station.
