Restaurants seem to use that kind of sauce especially on pork belly, and the pork is submerged in the sauce right before grilling rather than marinating for a long period. From what I can gather, it basically tastes like bulgogi marinade, but a little less concentrated in the soy/sugar department, and with more garlic and ginger added. I’m thinking restaurants put a bit of MSG to give it that savory flavor, but perhaps a few splashes of fish sauce can be used as a substitute. Just my 2 cents.
