I think Tokyo Ghoul is good, but I won't categorize it as great or epic nor do I think it would make an impact on the world. Storywise, it's only okay. The only thing that makes it stand out are the characters. I have read so many mangas (yeah I'm really old T-T) but it's very rare for a mangaka to write characters in a way where the reader has an emotional bond with all of them the way Tokyo Ghoul did. The only manga that came close to doing that is Dorohedoro which I highly recommend (if you are over 17 since it has so much gore and psychological innuendos as well as a plot that mind-boggled everyone that read it!)

It's like the others say, it depends on taste. But I won't be as fast as put it in the same category as any of Naoki Urasawa's works. If you are familiar with Monster then you know that Tokyo Ghoul can never compare to how critically acclaimed that manga was, even the anime blew everyone's mind making it the best in the decade it was released. 20th Century Boys, Billy Bat, Pluto, redEyes, Ubel Blatt, Berserk, Worst these are all mangas worth checking out if you want to expand your manga horizons.
