Birmingham, AL, October 28, 2026 —
Yum Yai Street Thai plans to open a second Birmingham-area location at 2234 Magnolia Avenue in Southside Birmingham, in the space formerly occupied by Magnolia Point Restaurant. The new location is anticipated to open in early 2027.
The move follows Magnolia Point Restaurant’s closure on November 2. The year of the closure was not provided. Yum Yai Street Thai is described as a popular Thai restaurant, and the new site would give it a second location in the Birmingham area.
Details about the transition, including whether renovations are planned, were not provided. Information about the new restaurant’s menu, staffing, hours and specific opening date is also unavailable. The early 2027 timeline is an estimate rather than a precise date.
The available information does not specify why Magnolia Point closed or whether its former operators are involved in the change. It also does not identify Yum Yai’s owners or provide details about the restaurant’s existing location. No further information about permits or construction was provided.
For now, the announced plan is limited to Yum Yai taking over the former Magnolia Point space at 2234 Magnolia Avenue, with an opening anticipated in early 2027. Further details about the location and its operations have not been provided.
