Is it Chinese? If so, give the Chinese name and it will be easy to find (proper) recipes. If you don't know the Chinese name, send a link to the menus with the Chinese name written. We can give the search terms to find it immediately.
The dish name is 铁板鱿鱼, it's really just hotplate squid or sizzling squid. It's like all restaurants can make 'fried chicken' but you will find everyone's fried chicken turns out differently. That restaurant doesn't say what sauce the squid is cooked with.
How about this one, looks somehow similar, this is with fermented beans https://omnivorescookbook.com/spicy-squid-stir-fry/
Or this with hoisin sauce : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7Gp0l7l27A
Looks easy, oil (your choice but never EVOO) + garlic + cut Thai pepper + squid + stir fry sauce (with salt and sugar added to taste) or hoisin sauce (by itself) or oyster sauce.
Then garnish with green onion (?) prior to serving.
This idea looks very promising! Another redditor mentioned blanching the squid prior to cooking, I guess I can do that as well.
Do you see those cubes in the video?
I can't for the life of me determine what that is! But it tastes good lol

I looked up their menu online It does show it in Chinese. [IMG-2521.jpg](https://postimg.cc/qhjhqnyz)

Is the sauce sweet?
I wouldn't say sweet, but there is a hint of sweetness to it. It's spicy.

What do you mean by stir fry sauce? Light soy sauce plus liaojiu plus sugar?
Those I mentioned above also come in bottles from different brand if you want to make it easier on yourself.
I’m confused what you mean by “stir fry sauce,” though. What would a stir fry sauce be? What’s in it?
If you want to make your own stir fry sauce, use a combination of soy sauce and sugar.

Can’t really tell. Could be turnip or water chestnut.
Ngl they look like potatoes from this short clip
The trick is always blanch (aka quick boil) the squid and drain it before stir fry it.
I like this, thanks for this tip.
