Nothing about the sweet n sour sauce they use there has ever really leapt out at me as especially different from SnS I've had elsewhere, I imagine they're using standard issue Chinese takeout industry sauce. I haven't had especially great luck replicating it in my home kitchen, but Plum Sauce or Duck Sauce from the Asian market cut with a bit of seasoned rice vinegar and a dash of soy sauce and freshly grated ginger scratches the itch well enough.
