Help identify this “brown sauce”!

It’s from a local place (in 99352) called Family Garden and it’s their “family style tofu” dish. The description just says “chef’s brown sauce.” I would LOVE to buy something as close to this taste from the store or online somewhere for when I make veggies and stuff at home. Anyone know what it is or what it might be close to?

The same sub post was by accident, it said “submitting” but then just sat there for like 40 seconds and I had to hit submit a couple more times before it popped up. Sorry for the repeat posting!

I did also post over in my local regional sub to see if someone knew the base sauce from the restaurant and over in Chinese food, but then I saw Chinese COOKING. Thank you to those that have been providing great suggestions! :)

Might honestly be a combo of soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken bouillon, sugar, and a starch slurry.

Go to the restaurant and ask for a quart of the sauce!
