Not too shabby, considering a dinner at Sushi Masaki Saito will run you up a nearly $800 tab.</p><p>While the sushi bar falls short of breaking any world records for its length, we're certain they've at least got a claim for something along the lines of "longest outdoor sushi bar in Canada,"&nbsp;right?</p><p>Either way, record-breaking or not, who's going to turn down free Michelin sushi? Not us! See you there.</p>
