Joined by a large group of 20 friends, the four time NBA champion dined at the Asian Bistro, even getting cooking tips from Executive Chef Mike Armstrong on how to make the braised short ribs he loved so much. He welcomed fans who continually came up to the table to say hi to the superstar.

After dinner they headed up to the club, commanding a VIP table in the club’s moat area to catch Apl.de.Ap’s DJ set. Shaq took photos with fans throughout the night.

Dirty South entertained a packed club at Marquee.
