Shaquille O’Neal buys dinner for entire restaurant while on a date

/ 11:00 AM June 16, 2022

NBA’s legendary Shaquille O’Neal went all out great while on a date night enjoying his chicken satay. On Sunday night, Shaq bought dinner for the whole restaurant. It was a Chinese restaurant in New York named Jue Lan Club. He was reportedly on a date with a mystery woman.

Reports said that Shaquille arrived at the Chinese rest at around 8:30 pm. The NBA icon was feeling generous after eating his meal with his date. Before the night ended, Shaquille was already paying the bill for all the guests and servers at that time.

According to resources, he arrived with an unidentified woman. Some even overheard him describing the woman as “my date.” The two ordered shrimp tempura, Beijing chicken, and the restaurant’s famous chicken satay. Page six said, “she did all the ordering.”

After their sumptuous meal, Shaq also bought dinner for the whole service crew. He then proceeds to pay for the tabs of everyone dining.

The former LA Lakers and Orlando Magic star did not want to be acknowledged for his generosity. He told the staff to keep it a secret until after leaving the restaurant. In addition, the waiting staff also received a huge tip for his service.

An insider said, “He was extremely generous to the staff, leaving them the biggest tip they’ve ever received.” Moreover, the whole restaurant bill amounted to a total amount of $25,000.

When reporters tried to contact Shaq for the details on this expensive night, he didn’t give any comments.

While Shaq’s generosity is surprising, this is not the first time he has become generous to the general public. Last year, Shaquille arranged the payment for a man buying an engagement ring. In a video circulating, the NBA star was seen walking through a jewelry store.

At that time, the man settling to purchase the ring received a pat on the back and a handshake from Shaq. The NBA icon handed over his credit card to the staff at the jewelry store. The lucky man thanked Shaquille for his generous gesture.

IN addition, Shaq was linked to actress Annie Ilonzeh last year. He said in an interview before that he blames himself for his divorce. His ex-wife Shaunie married a pastor in May.
